he_o choose_v rather_o to_o use_v the_o help_n and_o ministry_n of_o man_n than_o of_o angel_n of_o his_o disciple_n and_o apostle_n than_o of_o those_o holy_a and_o bless_a spirit_n paul_n be_v

in_o such_o sort_n and_o after_o such_o manner_n as_o he_o list_v either_o by_o order_n or_o by_o miracle_n by_o mean_n or_o without_o mean_n yet_o in_o the_o course_n of_o our_o conversion_n &_o the_o work_n of_o our_o regeneration_n we_o must_v not_o expect_v when_o god_n will_v send_v a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n to_o instruct_v we_o or_o when_o he_o will_v immediate_o and_o miraculous_o call_v we_o and_o work_v our_o conversion_n unto_o he_o but_o must_v content_v ourselves_o &_o make_v our_o best_a use_n of_o those_o mean_n which_o god_n in_o mercy_n offer_v we_o by_o the_o
