speak_v improper_o as_o the_o condition_n of_o life_n or_o salvation_n be_v to_o set_v up_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n not_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o that_o be_v to_o puzzle_v not_o to_o preach_v true_a christianity_n we_o find_v adam_n have_v but_o one_o poor_a commandment_n upon_o the_o first_o covenant_n viz._n not_o to_o eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o one_o single_a tree_n among_o so_o many_o and_o he_o keep_v it_o not_o though_o he_o be_v endue_v with_o strength_n to_o keep_v it_o he_o be_v to_o do_v but_o one_o thing_n while_o he_o have_v his_o perfect_a strength_n and_o he_o
