the_o new_a life_n we_o ascribe_v glory_n to_o he_o for_o our_o election_n for_o our_o justification_n for_o our_o regeneration_n which_o be_v the_o main_a work_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o be_v the_o joint-worke_n of_o the_o undivided_a trinity_n but_o yet_o we_o can_v follow_v this_o truth_n no_o far_o than_o it_o go_v before_o us._n therefore_o when_o we_o come_v to_o regeneration_n there_o must_v we_o stop_v and_o look_v no_o further_o for_o salvation_n for_o therein_o be_v our_o salvation_n accomplish_v and_o all_o the_o part_n thereof_o perfect_v if_o after_o we_o will_v go_v

shall_v be_v reward_v by_o god_n increase_v the_o degree_n of_o that_o glory_n wherein_o before_o we_o have_v a_o undeniable_a property_n and_o title_n therefore_o work_n add_v not_o a_o new_a part_n
