the_o former_a sort_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o grace_n of_o justification_n the_o latter_a to_o that_o of_o sanctification_n now_o christ_n have_v promise_v to_o heal_v these_o bruise_n w_z ch_z be_v the_o three_o thing_n 3._o to_o be_v consider_v let_v those_o therefore_o that_o be_v thus_o weak_a consider_v this_o promise_n here_o that_o christ_n will_v heal_v all_o these_o bruising_n and_o so_o all_o other_o the_o promise_n for_o this_o purpose_n that_o he_o will_v heal_v these_o bruising_n which_o arise_v from_o our_o doubt_v of_o justification_n isaiah_n 61_o 1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o ver_fw-la

to_o the_o captive_n therefore_o if_o a_o poor_a soul_n will_v go_v to_o christ_n and_o say_v thus_o lord_n i_o be_o bind_v with_o a_o chain_n of_o my_o sin_n and_o thou_o come_v to_o set_v such_o

they_o be_v soon_o weary_a of_o this_o contention_n they_o leave_v off_o row_v &_o suffer_v the_o boat_n to_o go_v down_o the_o stream_n but_o we_o must_v strive_v until_o we_o get_v the_o victory_n
