forasmuch_o as_o all_o man_n have_v sin_v for_o until_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n but_o sin_n be_v not_o regard_v as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nevertheless_o death_n

much_o more_o shall_v they_o which_o receive_v the_o abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n reign_n in_o life_n through_o one_o that_o be_v jesus_n christ_n likewise_o then_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o that_o fault_n come_v on_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o benefit_n abound_v towards_o all_o man_n to_o

the_o law_n enter_v thereupon_o that_o the_o offence_n shall_v abound_v nevertheless_o where_o sin_n abound_v there_o grace_v abound_v much_o more_o that_o as_o sin_n have_v reign_v unto_o death_n so_o may_v grace_v also_o reign_v by_o righteousness_n unto_o eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n by_o these_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n we_o manifest_o perceive_v the_o thing_n

more_o mighty_a than_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n and_o if_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n be_v sufficient_a enough_o to_o make_v all_o man_n sinner_n and_o child_n of_o wrath_n without_o any_o misdeed_n of_o

but_o when_o we_o once_o thorough_o know_v our_o own_o infirmity_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o law_n let_v we_o hearken_v to_o saint_n john_n baptist_n who_o point_v we_o to_o the_o sovereign_a physician_n
