for_o his_o sin_v which_o god_n have_v very_o forgyven_v i_o think_v it_o good_a to_o speak_v more_o at_o large_a of_o this_o point_n because_o in_o the_o last_o synod_n i_o hear_v say_v that_o

of_o this_o article_n i_o think_v good_a to_o bring_v in_o these_o thing_n by_o the_o way_n now_o will_v i_o come_v again_o to_o that_o point_n where_o i_o leave_v other_o the_o anabaptiste_n more_o
