sufficient_a conviction_n you_o direct_v i_o by_o quotation_n to_o fifteen_o i_o thank_v you_o for_o this_o great_a charity_n and_o necessary_a pain_n but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o

the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n that_o they_o be_v convert_v but_o not_o that_o there_o be_v any_o conversion_n there_o the_o like_a of_o repentance_n because_o the_o act_n of_o conversion_n and_o

after_o they_o be_v lodge_v in_o that_o perfect_a state_n and_o have_v no_o dead_a work_n to_o repent_v from_o i_o conclude_v with_o a_o few_o passage_n of_o your_o own_o which_o make_v you_o seem_v
