a_o child_n a_o little_a child_n be_v take_v with_o baby_n and_o with_o rattle_n and_o with_o gay_n and_o when_o it_o grow_v big_a to_o eight_o nine_o or_o ten_o year_n old_a it_o be_v take_v with_o other_o thing_n and_o as_o the_o child_n grow_v into_o a_o man_n so_o he_o grow_v off_o from_o those_o childish_a and_o youthful_a thing_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n that_o the_o youth_n of_o

this_o be_v good_a &_o they_o can_v live_v without_o it_o but_o when_o a_o man_n grow_v into_o more_o strength_n of_o grace_n than_o he_o grow_v off_o from_o these_o thing_n that_o the_o youth_n of_o

now_o upon_o all_o these_o thing_n i_o appeal_v to_o you_o who_o ever_o you_o be_v that_o make_v this_o objection_n and_o say_v you_o can_v grow_v in_o grace_n and_o therefore_o afraid_a that_o you_o

grow_v off_o from_o your_o own_o righteousness_n yes_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v this_o through_o the_o lord_n goodness_n and_o mercy_n to_o i_o though_o i_o be_o not_o grow_v in_o grace_n as_o i_o desire_v yet_o i_o be_o more_o grow_v off_o from_o my_o own_o righteousness_n than_o i_o be_v heretofore_o and_o i_o be_o not_o so_o subject_a to_o be_v offend_v at_o the_o good_a way_n of_o god_n

thy_o father_n object_n but_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n yet_o stick_v with_o i_o and_o make_v i_o afraid_a that_o i_o be_o yet_o dead_a in_o my_o sin_n &_o trespass_n and_o that_o i_o be_o not_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n and_o that_o be_v this_o i_o be_o alive_a to_o the_o world_n can_v a_o man_n live_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o the_o world_n too_o when_o i_o go_v into_o

under_o the_o law_n but_o when_o a_o man_n be_v convert_v and_o draw_v to_o christ_n than_o he_o be_v free_a from_o the_o law_n and_o then_o when_o he_o be_v free_v from_o the_o law_n he_o see_v a_o

to_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n he_o see_v a_o great_a emptiness_n in_o the_o law_n than_o ever_o he_o do_v before_o but_o as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o rule_n of_o life_n he_o see_v a_o

though_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o satisfaction_n his_o soul_n can_v be_v satisfy_v he_o see_v less_o in_o the_o world_n than_o ever_o he_o do_v before_o yet_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o
