he_o call_v himself_o our_o friend_n while_o at_o home_n he_o hate_v we_o and_o destroy_v we_o now_o i_o shall_v first_o speak_v to_o the_o thing_n in_o general_a and_o its_o design_n than_o i_o

natural_o chaste_a and_o some_o be_v abstemious_a and_o many_o be_v just_a and_o friendly_a and_o noble_a and_o charitable_a and_o therefore_o all_o actual_a sin_n do_v not_o proceed_v from_o this_o

that_o we_o sin_n by_o his_o fall_n it_o shall_v rather_o be_v that_o we_o can_v choose_v but_o do_v this_o or_o that_o and_o then_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o to_o say_v that_o our_o actual_a sin_n
