john_n 17._o 3._o this_o be_v life_n eternal_a to_o know_v thou_o etc._n etc._n show_v that_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n in_o a_o man_n be_v call_v eternal_a life_n because_o it_o have_v its_o

seven_o day_n therein_o day_n in_o respect_n of_o any_o mystery_n contain_v therein_o but_o as_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o sabbath_n but_o hence_o you_o will_v deduce_v a_o wrong_a conclusion_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v as_o be_v the_o jewish_a shadow_n abrogative_n in_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o dark_a mystery_n say_v you_o in_o this_o clear_a
