the_o same_o show_v forth_o the_o power_n thereof_o by_o repentance_n from_o dead_a work_n &_o amendment_n of_o life_n in_o new_a obedience_n but_o we_o must_v know_v that_o if_o these_o two_o sin_n

do_v repent_v and_o believe_v at_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o god_n heavy_a curse_n will_v fall_v upon_o we_o for_o if_o we_o match_v the_o old_a world_n in_o sin_n we_o must_v not_o look_v to_o come_v behind_o they_o in_o judgement_n the_o second_o thing_n in_o this_o decree_n be_v what_o god_n will_v not_o do_v hereafter_o namely_o curse_v the_o earth_n any_o
