unrighteousness_n of_o man_n unrighteous_a immoral_a wicked_a man_n shall_v suffer_v for_o their_o fault_n and_o how_o then_o can_v it_o be_v safe_a for_o they_o to_o die_v sect._n 5_o the_o thing_n

with_o ready_a to_o yield_v both_o these_o then_o suppose_v they_o it_o can_v be_v but_o wicked_a man_n who_o be_v enemy_n to_o god_n while_o they_o live_v and_o die_v in_o the_o same_o state_n must_v
