all_o which_o and_o much_o more_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o apostle_n though_o then_o in_o a_o state_n of_o justification_n have_v a_o very_a general_n and_o defective_a knowledge_n of_o the_o

the_o ransom_n and_o remedy_n we_o know_v that_o all_o man_n partake_v of_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o mercy_n from_o god_n after_o the_o notorious_a demerit_n of_o their_o sin_n we_o know_v that_o
