his_o spirit_n be_v oft-tmes_a contradict_v and_o oppose_v himself_o as_o be_v usual_a with_o those_o that_o oppose_v the_o unchangeable_a truth_n but_o i_o perceive_v a_o objection_n may_v arise_v in_o the_o ignorant_a concern_v this_o thing_n that_o if_o the_o word_n which_o be_v able_a to_o save_v be_v graft_v in_o people_n and_o be_v nigh_o unto_o all_o even_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o

it_o be_v in_o they_o already_o i_o answer_v though_o the_o word_n or_o spirit_n which_o be_v one_o be_v in_o they_o yet_o they_o be_v disobedient_a thereunto_o do_v not_o receive_v it_o or_o have_v not_o receive_v it_o but_o have_v always_o resist_v it_o as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v they_o act_v 7.51_o and_o so_o be_v like_a unto_o those_o that_o job_n speak_v of_o say_v they_o be_v of_o they_o that_o rebel_n against_o the_o light_n who_o know_v not_o the_o way_n of_o it_o etc._n etc._n job_n 24.13_o so_o that_o although_o the_o word_n or_o light_n or_o spirit_n be_v in_o a_o people_n and_o
