such_o disproportion_n between_o the_o soul_n be_v full_a of_o sin_n also_o and_o guiltiness_n and_o heavenly_a thing_n that_o be_v so_o great_a that_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n will_v not_o believe_v unless_o god_n convince_v the_o soul_n that_o god_n be_v so_o good_a and_o gracious_a though_o they_o be_v great_a and_o excellent_a yet_o god_n will_v bestow_v they_o upon_o our_o soul_n and_o therefore_o he_o send_v the_o spirit_n that_o over-power_n the_o soul_n though_o it_o be_v full_a of_o fear_n and_o guilt_n that_o sin_n contract_v though_o we_o be_v never_o so_o unworthy_a he_o will_v magnify_v his_o grace_n to_o poor_a sinner_n and_o without_o that_o the_o soul_n will_v never_o believe_v there_o be_v such_o a_o infinite_a disproportion_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o thing_n between_o the_o sinful_a soul_n and_o the_o spirit_n so_o that_o god_n must_v overpower_v the_o soul_n to_o make_v it_o believe_v the_o scripture_n be_v full_a of_o this_o as_o we_o be_v natural_o ignorant_a and_o full_a of_o unbelief_n so_o god_n only_o can_v overpower_v the_o soul_n and_o take_v away_o the_o veil_n of_o ignorance_n all_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n 4._o and_o all_o
