of_o heaven_n and_o life_n everlasting_a even_o he_o undoubted_o that_o can_v never_o be_v just_o recompense_v by_o a_o sinful_a man_n observation_n and_o conversation_n be_v it_o never_o so_o holy_a and_o therefore_o be_v it_o that_o we_o be_v always_o in_o debt_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n be_v it_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o desire_n god_n in_o our_o prayer_n that_o he_o will_v forgive_v we_o our_o debt_n as_o we_o forgyve_v our_o debtor_n and_o then_o how_o can_v we_o deserve_v any_o thing_n at_o god_n hand_n when_o we_o can_v not_o make_v recompense_n for_o the_o small_a thing_n that_o we_o have_v have_v already_o and_o do_v daily_o receive_v wherefore_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o very_a comfortable_a doctrine_n unto_o we_o in_o that_o we_o be_v not_o our_o own_o and_o in_o that_o we_o be_v buy_v for_o a_o price_n for_o if_o we_o be_v our_o own_o we_o shall_v perish_v as_o man_n that_o be_v wicked_a sinner_n and_o as_o man_n that_o can_v do_v no_o good_a thing_n nor_o deserve_v any_o good_a thing_n therefore_o of_o all_o creature_n we_o be_v happy_a that_o we_o be_v buy_v by_o his_o blood_n who_o have_v make_v we_o acceptable_a
