ever_o christ_n come_v now_o these_o three_o answer_v the_o three_o great_a grace_n which_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n repentance_n faith_n and_o new_a obedience_n and_o though_o the_o last_o be_v include_v in_o and_o be_v reduceable_a to_o the_o first_o because_o no_o man_n true_o repent_v of_o past_a disobedience_n who_o resolve_v not_o and_o who_o endeavour_v not_o
