our_o sin_n natural_o and_o as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o seed_n of_o our_o parent_n whereof_o we_o be_v bear_v a_o natural_a inclination_n by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n to_o grow_v so_o there_o

nature_n have_v make_v they_o such_o so_o neither_o can_v man_n clean_o put_v away_o his_o sin_n since_o nature_n have_v make_v he_o a_o sinner_n which_o thing_n howsoever_o it_o can_v excuse_v the_o

and_o therefore_o a_o common_a reason_n why_o i_o shall_v spare_v our_o brute_n beast_n behave_v themselves_o more_o brutish_o alas_o say_v we_o let_v they_o alone_o they_o do_v but_o their_o nature_n and_o why_o shall_v it_o not_o seem_v unto_o reason_n as_o good_a reason_n why_o the_o lord_n in_o regard_n of_o who_o man_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o brute_n beast_n be_v unto_o a_o man_n shall_v spare_v &_o not_o for_o merit_n but_o for_o pity_n pardon_v man_n who_o when_o he_o sin_v do_v nothing_o else_o but_o his_o nature_n for_o his_o own_o nature_n drive_v he_o unto_o sin_n this_o reason_n therefore_o seem_v so_o good_a unto_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o comfortable_a unto_o david_n that_o he_o especial_o use_v the_o same_o in_o his_o 103._o psalm_n to_o show_v that_o as_o
