judgement_n &_o condemnation_n of_o the_o wicked_a i_o find_v then_o that_o the_o impenitent_a and_o such_o as_o continue_v in_o their_o sin_n can_v not_o be_v save_v god_n can_v not_o forgive_v they_o hereupon_o some_o have_v say_v and_o do_v say_v still_o of_o i_o that_o i_o preach_v that_o god_n can_v not_o forgive_v sin_n i_o say_v and_o i_o say_v again_o the_o lord_n be_v as_o true_a

i_o say_v woe_n be_v to_o i_o if_o i_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n now_o repentance_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o we_o may_v repent_v it_o be_v needful_a to_o know_v our_o sin_n
