unto_o the_o flesh_n lest_o from_o vicious_a motion_n there_o come_v sinful_a action_n this_o rule_n the_o apostle_n give_v to_o the_o galatian_n 5.13_o gal._n 5.13_o exhort_v they_o not_o to_o use_v

so_o withhold_v from_o they_o that_o after_o they_o fall_v into_o that_o sin_n they_o be_v not_o convince_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o they_o live_v and_o die_v in_o it_o answ_n 2_o the_o spirit_n

that_o he_o may_v rather_o commit_v more_o sin_n to_o hide_v that_o one_o sin_n then_o to_o repent_v of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v a_o high_a step_n how_o near_a hell_n it_o be_v yet_o thus_o david_n after_o he_o have_v fall_v into_o adultery_n he_o do_v not_o put_v his_o conscience_n on_o work_n to_o repent_v of_o this_o sin_n but_o put_v his_o wit_n on_o work_n how_o to_o cover_v this_o sin_n
