of_o sin_n than_o in_o a_o act_n of_o sin_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n god_n commend_v his_o love_n to_o we_o in_o that_o when_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o rom_n 5.8_o if_o

to_o fail_v second_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o of_o and_o accept_v that_o good_a which_o be_v in_o his_o saint_n notwithstanding_o their_o sin_n indeed_o man_n be_v apt_a so_o to_o mind_v their_o

the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o to_o overlook_v what_o be_v good_a in_o they_o like_o fly_n that_o pitch_n upon_o the_o sore_a and_o like_a vulture_n that_o fly_v over_o the_o pleasant_a garden_n and_o pitch_n upon_o carrion_n so_o wicked_a man_n watch_v for_o the_o halting_n of_o god_n people_n and_o feed_v their_o malice_n with_o their_o fail_n but_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o a_o little_a
