the_o grace_n of_o god_n almighty_n at_o our_o disposal_n can_v we_o confer_v it_o upon_o ourselves_o that_o it_o shall_v hear_v be_v say_v to_o we_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d let_v we_o have_v

let_v we_o have_v grace_n to_o answer_v this_o it_o must_v be_v know_v that_o in_o many_o place_n of_o scripture_n grace_n do_v signify_v the_o gospel_n whether_o as_o be_v the_o chief_a instrument_n
