they_o suppose_v due_a to_o sin_n have_v yet_o another_o error_n consequent_a upon_o it_o that_o since_o every_o man_n must_v undergo_v they_o according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o his_o sin_n if_o

to_o make_v for_o our_o sin_n beside_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o we_o and_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n that_o that_o be_v either_o true_a or_o false_a certain_a or_o uncertain_a this_o
