wherever_o this_o be_v there_o will_v be_v another_o work_n and_o bring_v grace_n into_o the_o soul_n for_o we_o forgive_v other_o this_o be_v make_v a_o argument_n to_o prevail_v with_o god_n we_o

forgive_v we_o as_o though_o first_o we_o can_v forgive_v other_o before_o god_n forgive_v we_o hence_o the_o question_n draw_v on_o namely_o whether_o be_v the_o soul_n able_a to_o forgive_v trespass_n to_o other_o before_o the_o lord_n forgive_v its_o trespase_n quest_n quest_n no_o our_o forgive_a other_o do_v not_o go_v before_o our_o own_o forgiveness_n answ_n answ_n god_n must_v first_o forgive_v we_o before_o we_o can_v forgive_v other_o because_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o grace_n to_o do_v this_o as_o god_n require_v and_o it_o come_v from_o a_o gracious_a disposition_n of_o soul_n which_o god_n must_v put_v into_o we_o before_o we_o can_v do_v it_o but_o now_o sanctification_n follow_v justification_n as_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v a_o tree_n bringsforth_o fruit_n
