may_v give_v out_o the_o sentence_n yet_o there_o be_v some_o accusation_n here_o that_o he_o be_v a_o evil_a doer_n be_v that_o sufficient_a when_o a_o man_n be_v deliver_v to_o the_o judge_n to_o say_v this_o man_n be_v a_o evil_a man_n no_o he_o must_v qualify_v it_o in_o particular_a wherein_o he_o be_v evil_a and_o have_v fail_v if_o they_o have_v find_v any_o they_o will_v not_o have_v

these_o two_o thing_n to_o be_v see_v manifest_o first_o the_o innocence_n of_o christ_n for_o look_v the_o whole_a process_n yea_o when_o he_o be_v slay_v &_o dead_a upon_o the_o cross_n his_o very_a

but_o in_o this_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v their_o innocence_n appear_v what_o and_o if_o all_o the_o world_n condemn_v thou_o so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n justify_v thou_o for_o albeit_o thou_o
