such_o a_o paradox_n true_o very_o easy_o and_o that_o without_o run_v far_o for_o a_o argument_n if_o you_o remember_v they_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o only_a way_n for_o a_o sinner_n to_o

assent_n that_o he_o be_v just_a and_o consequent_o if_o this_o be_v the_o only_a way_n for_o a_o sinner_n to_o rise_v unto_o justification_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o after_o he_o be_v fall_v by_o sin_n to_o rise_v again_o by_o justification_n and_o so_o where_o the_o tree_n fall_v there_o it_o must_v lie_v for_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o sick_a man_n if_o he_o be_v in_o his_o
