of_o our_o god_n this_o point_n serve_v next_o for_o consolation_n to_o all_o penitent_a sinner_n how_o weary_a and_o load_v soever_o they_o be_v since_o sin_n can_v not_o abound_v in_o so_o great_a

there_o he_o make_v also_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o grace_n to_o abound_v much_o more_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o with_o cain_n esteem_v our_o sin_n great_a than_o we_o can_v bear_v

of_o god_n mercy_n give_v we_o in_o christ_n do_v always_o exceed_v the_o measure_n of_o our_o sin_n therefore_o do_v the_o apostle_n reason_n to_o the_o roman_n from_o this_o abundance_n of_o the_o

to_o justification_n show_v that_o justification_n by_o christ_n be_v far_o more_o large_a than_o the_o cause_n of_o condemnation_n in_o adam_n see_v that_o not_o only_o that_o one_o sin_n which_o

be_v save_v &_o that_o in_o respect_n neither_o be_v adam_n sin_n so_o powerful_a to_o make_v guilty_a unto_o death_n as_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o justify_v unto_o life_n neither_o be_v the_o guiltiness_n come_v from_o adam_n only_a sin_n so_o abundant_a as_o the_o justification_n which_o be_v by_o christ_n only_a obedience_n see_v our_o guiltiness_n come_v from_o one_o fin_n
