have_v sin_v they_o shall_v be_v forgive_v he_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n be_v very_o plain_a that_o whereas_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n there_o be_v many_o miracle_n wrought_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o other_o they_o do_v not_o those_o thing_n by_o any_o power_n which_o they_o have_v in_o themselves_o but_o by_o the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n the_o sick_a be_v heal_v and_o if_o their_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o sickness_n as_o they_o be_v many_o time_n although_o not_o always_o 9.3_o john_n 9.3_o as_o by_o saint_n johns_n gospel_n it_o appear_v he_o promise_v that_o god_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v heal_v will_v take_v away_o their_o sin_n and_o forgive_v their_o

you_o have_v commit_v sin_n for_o the_o apostle_n nothing_o doubt_v but_o that_o they_o have_v sin_n for_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n 1.8_o 1_o john_n 1.8_o we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o there_o be_v no_o truth_n in_o us._n but_o he_o may_v just_o doubt_v whether_o sickness_n be_v always_o lay_v upon_o man_n for_o and_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o sin_n therefore_o to_o doubt_v whether_o they_o may_v have_v sin_n or_o not_o belong_v unto_o they_o that_o know_v not_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n nature_n which_o we_o can_v think_v of_o the_o apostle_n saint_n james._n but_o to_o know_v that_o god_n do_v not_o always_o send_v affliction_n in_o respect_n of_o sin_n he_o have_v learn_v by_o that_o which_o our_o saviour_n christ_n himself_o say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n of_o the_o blind_a man_n neither_o have_v this_o man_n sin_v neither_o his_o parent_n 9.33_o john_n 9.33_o but_o that_o the_o work_n of_o god_n may_v be_v manifest_a and_o for_o this_o cause_n saint_n james_n say_v if_o he_o commit_v sin_n they_o shall_v be_v forgive_v he_o that_o be_v if_o his_o sin_n have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o sickness_n his_o sin_n shall_v be_v forgive_v he_o that_o

in_o the_o true_a sacrament_n in_o deed_n the_o promise_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v most_o certain_a otherwise_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o any_o true_a comfort_n thus_o then_o see_v sickness_n sometime_o come_v of_o sin_n sometime_o of_o other_o cause_n the_o apostle_n say_v if_o it_o come_v of_o sin_n not_o only_o the_o man_n over_o who_o the_o elder_n make_v their_o faithful_a prayer_n and_o who_o they_o so_o oynt_v with_o this_o visible_a oil_n shall_v be_v raise_v up_o but_o also_o his_o sin_n the_o cause_n of_o his_o sickness_n shall_v be_v take_v
