a_o breach_n between_o god_n and_o you_o as_o the_o whole_a creation_n can_v make_v up_o but_o now_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n and_o but_o one_o that_o can_v make_v god_n amends_o and_o full_a

2._o 1_o 2._o though_o thou_o have_v be_v never_o so_o vile_a and_o ungodly_a yet_o if_o thou_o can_v but_o get_v this_o blood_n sprinkle_v upon_o thou_o through_o faith_n in_o it_o it_o will_v make_v

for_o all_o the_o wicked_a abomination_n of_o thy_o heart_n and_o life_n oh_o what_o a_o precious_a blood_n be_v this_o then_o and_o take_v but_o one_o thing_n more_o for_o it_o which_o be_v 4._o the_o dreadful_a vengeance_n which_o god_n do_v take_v upon_o man_n wherever_o the_o gild_n of_o this_o blood_n of_o christ_n lie_v if_o he_o do_v but_o come_v once_o to_o avenge_v the_o blood_n of_o a_o man_n he_o do_v that_o severe_o if_o any_o one_o have_v commit_v wilful_a murder_n upon_o his_o neighbour_n god_n be_v resove_v that_o that_o man_n shall_v be_v sure_o put_v to_o death_n for_o

the_o manifestation_n of_o your_o gratitude_n to_o he_o by_o a_o obediential_a fruitfulness_n do_v but_o live_v as_o those_o that_o be_v he_o and_o that_o be_v all_o he_o desire_v why_o now_o shall_v he_o that_o have_v pay_v this_o great_a price_n for_o you_o require_v any_o duty_n at_o your_o hand_n and_o will_v you_o not_o do_v it_o or_o call_v you_o to_o any_o difficulty_n for_o his_o sake_n and_o will_v you_o stick_v at_o it_o remember_v christ_n observe_v how_o you_o walk_v after_o such_o great_a thing_n as_o he_o have_v do_v for_o you_o and_o do_v it_o give_v he_o cause_n to_o say_v

you_o know_v man_n many_o time_n after_o they_o have_v buy_v a_o purchase_n and_o make_v it_o their_o own_o they_o sell_v it_o again_o something_n or_o other_o be_v in_o it_o that_o they_o do_v not_o

to_o break_v the_o bond_n of_o wedlock_n which_o christ_n will_v never_o suffer_v true_a believer_n to_o do_v though_o she_o have_v a_o great_a many_o fault_n yet_o he_o resolve_v he_o will_v put_v she_o away_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n will_v let_v he_o nor_o which_o be_v more_o the_o law_n of_o his_o love_n will_v let_v he_o he_o think_v when_o he_o look_v upon_o she_o with_o all_o her_o
