same_o sufficient_o long_a ago_o especial_o for_o that_o the_o prophet_n nahum_n say_v 9_o nahum_n 1_o 9_o say_v that_o god_n will_v not_o twice_o judge_v for_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_o thing_n i_o know_v some_o do_v answer_v that_o god_n do_v not_o twice_o give_v judgement_n upon_o that_o sin_n but_o once_o only_o for_o that_o under_o one_o judgement_n he_o comprehend_v adam_n and_o all_o

why_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v punish_v and_o that_o therefore_o in_o every_o person_n be_v condemn_v not_o the_o fault_n of_o another_o similitude_n how_o be_v understand_v the_o revenge_n of_o adam_n

our_o corruption_n have_v the_o original_n from_o he_o even_o as_o if_o one_o be_v sick_a of_o the_o plague_n do_v infect_v other_o and_o they_o die_v but_o if_o a_o man_n will_v say_v that_o they_o
