if_o thou_o be_v a_o child_n of_o wisdom_n and_o one_o who_o god_n have_v pardon_v as_o god_n have_v justify_v thou_o so_o thou_o will_v justify_v god_n this_o note_n may_v meet_v with_o those_o

in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n for_o that_o be_v the_o way_n that_o accompany_v pardon_v of_o sin_n to_o forgive_v because_o i_o have_v have_v more_o forgive_v such_o a_o one_o have_v offend_v i_o but_o how_o much_o more_o have_v i_o offend_v the_o lord_n and_o if_o the_o lord_n forgive_v i_o ought_v not_o i_o to_o forgive_v he_o you_o know_v in_o the_o gospel_n he_o that_o have_v so_o many_o

his_o brother_n the_o utmost_a farthing_n have_v god_n forgive_v thou_o thy_o sin_n which_o have_v he_o not_o it_o will_v have_v everlasting_o chain_v thou_o in_o torment_n and_o will_v not_o thou_o

of_o the_o rule_n how_o to_o apply_v the_o evidence_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a concernment_n to_o we_o to_o try_v whether_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v for_o in_o
