here_o be_v no_o fiction_n but_o evident_a truth_n adam_n in_o the_o very_a act_n of_o sin_v deserve_v because_o he_o sin_v that_o god_n shall_v have_v withdraw_v his_o influence_n but_o it_o be_v a_o

a_o law_n not_o to_o sin_v nor_o to_o refuse_v virtual_o the_o lord_n influence_n and_o because_o the_o lord_n be_v under_o no_o law_n to_o give_v influence_n his_o free_a withdraw_a can_v never_o
