under_o the_o law_n as_o the_o strength_n of_o sin_n special_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v then_o say_v the_o apostle_n be_v the_o law_n sin_n that_o 12._o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o it_o and_o that_o sin_n have_v its_o strength_n from_o it_o and_o so_o deliverance_n from_o sin_n be_v a_o deliverance_n from_o the_o law_n as_o the_o strength_n of_o it_o or_o be_v the_o law_n death_n since_o sin_n by_o this_o mean_n do_v work_v death_n no_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o law_n be_v holy_a just_a and_o good_a the_o law_n give_v no_o occasion_n to_o sin_n but_o sin_n take_v occasion_n

it_o be_v such_o a_o mercy_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o it_o be_v it_o a_o favour_n to_o be_v put_v into_o golden_a fetter_n suppose_v the_o law_n to_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a yet_o since_o it_o be_v

to_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a by_o the_o law_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n i_o have_v not_o know_v lust_n except_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v whether_o

to_o be_v sin_n but_o that_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v why_o but_o be_v that_o then_o that_o be_v good_a make_v death_n to_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n you_o must_v know_v
