in_o thousand_o who_o be_v witness_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n in_o some_o degree_n or_o measure_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n god_n covenant_n in_o which_o we_o hope_v

of_o christ_n be_v witness_v to_o be_v sufficient_a to_o purge_v conscience_n of_o dead_a work_n and_o so_o to_o serve_v god_n in_o the_o new_a and_o live_a way_n which_o he_o have_v consecrate_v for_o we_o through_o the_o veil_n his_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o all_o who_o be_v thus_o partaker_n of_o god_n work_n by_o the_o revelation_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v true_a witness_n of_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n in_o this_o one_o unspotted_a offer_v we_o can_v but_o confess_v he_o before_o man_n deny_v all_o imaginary_a offering_n in_o man_n will_n where_o their_o garment_n be_v fill_v
