the_o street_n and_o open_a place_n of_o their_o city_n and_o place_n of_o privilege_n thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o figure_n when_o the_o city_n jerusalem_n be_v build_v after_o the_o captivity_n as_o

of_o god_n the_o way_n of_o holiness_n and_o newness_n of_o life_n because_o as_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o the_o stranger_n so_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o be_v enter_v the_o gate_n of_o a_o city_n to_o have_v his_o foot_n in_o the_o street_n of_o the_o city_n so_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o the_o sinner_n so_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o be_v enter_v into_o the_o church_n by_o christ_n to_o have_v his_o foot_n tread_v gate_n in_o the_o way_n and_o path_n of_o holiness_n wherefore_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o call_v the_o transformatian_n of_o the_o sinner_n 8._o from_o

the_o perfection_n of_o light_n grace_n faith_n and_o spiritual_a comfort_n that_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o this_o city_n 25._o shall_v then_o enjoy_v daniel_n also_o call_v it_o one_o street_n to_o signify_v the_o same_o thing_n wherefore_o from_o hence_o i_o gather_v that_o then_o all_o saint_n shall_v walk_v as_o before_o i_o have_v make_v appear_v even_o in_o one_o street_n in_o one_o way_n and_o in_o one_o light_n it_o be_v antichrist_n that_o have_v bring_v in_o all_o those_o cross_n by-law_n and_o odd_a nook_n that_o to_o this_o day_n many_o a_o honest_a heart_n do_v great_o lose_v
