our_o redemption_n strict_o or_o literal_o and_o without_o a_o figure_n so_o understand_v and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n our_o sanctification_n nor_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o christ_n bring_v

do_v they_o know_v it_o and_o in_o the_o close_a of_o his_o first_o section_n he_o conclude_v with_o a_o manifest_a untruth_n that_o the_o quaker_n be_v for_o a_o new_a dispensation_n not_o only_o

for_o clearness_n in_o the_o soul_n or_o can_v there_o be_v any_o great_a or_o more_o principal_a rule_n than_o this_o the_o other_o thing_n i_o notice_n be_v that_o he_o infer_v the_o scripture_n
