when_o he_o have_v no_o flesh_n no_o corruption_n in_o he_o in_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v die_v why_o then_o be_v it_o not_o a_o proper_a and_o fit_a argument_n to_o be_v

do_v yet_o be_v this_o argument_n rather_o more_o suitable_a to_o they_o than_o to_o adam_n even_o the_o argument_n of_o death_n in_o this_o respect_n because_o they_o have_v much_o flesh_n in_o they_o which_o both_o in_o itself_o deserve_v death_n and_o incline_v they_o or_o move_v they_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n thereof_o sweet_a argument_n may_v more_o take_v with_o the_o renew_a part_n but_o this_o may_v more_o curb_v remain_v corruption_n and_o work_v upon_o the_o heart_n when_o in_o a_o fearless_a careless_a frame_n and_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o never_o so_o good_a a_o frame_n to_o hear_v that_o they_o who_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n shall_v die_v may_v stir_v it_o up_o to_o thankfulness_n that_o through_o and_o in_o christ_n it_o be_v secure_a and_o the_o more_o

or_o i_o hope_v i_o do_v not_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n deceive_v not_o yourselves_o for_o if_o you_o do_v thus_o live_v whether_o you_o think_v so_o or_o no_o of_o

must_v still_o be_v fight_v war_a kill_a and_o slay_v many_o great_a and_o potent_a enemy_n strong_a lust_n and_o corruption_n a_o numerous_a issue_n of_o evil_a motion_n which_o sure_o be_v no_o

of_o the_o body_n that_o be_v all_o of_o they_o though_o many_o god_n say_v to_o adam_n when_o he_o have_v sin_v in_o sorrow_n shall_v thou_o eat_v of_o the_o ground_n all_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o
