in_o one_o point_n he_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o because_o he_o keep_v no_o commandment_n sincere_o and_o out_o of_o love_n and_o reverence_n to_o god_n the_o lawgiver_n jam._n 2._o 10._o a._n another_o ground_n of_o my_o confidence_n be_v the_o fall_v of_o saint_n that_o be_v upon_o scripture_n record_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o to_o be_v intemperate_a with_o lot_n and_o noah_n

follow_v do_v not_o the_o apostle_n say_v let_v no_o man_n go_v beyond_o or_o defraud_v his_o brother_n in_o any_o matter_n because_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o avenger_n of_o all_o evil_a 1_o thes_n 4._o 6._o have_v not_o our_o lord_n plain_o signify_v thou_o shall_v not_o more_o wrong_v another_o than_o thou_o will_v be_v willing_a another_o shall_v wrong_v thou_o mat._n 7._o 12._o have_v he_o
