more_o large_o in_o my_o sermon_n on_o 2_o cor._n 5.17_o if_o we_o be_v sick_a of_o sin_n if_o as_o a_o man_n surcharge_v with_o gross_a humour_n be_v never_o at_o ease_n till_o he_o have_v abate_v

to_o god_n by_o confession_n execute_v revenge_n upon_o it_o by_o godly_a sorrow_n and_o purge_v it_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n then_o sin_n be_v in_o a_o good_a degree_n to_o death_n second_o by_o these_o two_o concomitant_n which_o go_v with_o it_o first_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n must_v decay_v if_o therefore_o our_o eye_n do_v feeble_o behold_v vanity_n and_o not_o with_o that_o vigour_n

further_o in_o the_o death_n unto_o sin_n three_o we_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o these_o consequent_n which_o follow_v upon_o it_o to_o wit_n coldness_n and_o putrefaction_n if_o therefore_o the_o
