who_o shall_v one_o day_n pronounce_v condemnation_n upon_o the_o sinner_n thus_o former_o condemn_v of_o himself_o for_o even_o as_o many_o as_o have_v sin_v without_o the_o law_n write_v shall_v

50.16.17_o psal_n 50.16.17_o as_o he_o that_o hate_v to_o be_v reform_v and_o the_o gentile_n say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o place_n foremention_v 2.14_o rom._n 2.14_o do_v by_o nature_n the_o

to_o please_v he_o whether_o thy_o conscience_n do_v therefore_o only_o not_o disquiet_v thou_o because_o either_o thou_o have_v not_o afford_v it_o due_a information_n out_o of_o the_o law_n of_o

we_o may_v see_v apparent_a difference_n between_o the_o regenerate_a and_o the_o unsanctified_a man_n for_o as_o the_o natural_a sleep_n cut_v not_o off_o all_o the_o operation_n &_o evidence_n of_o
