they_o think_v pleasant_o with_o themselves_o what_o manner_n of_o body_n they_o shall_v have_v the_o eternal_a judgement_n though_o it_o make_v they_o sometime_o afraid_a yet_o they_o encourage_v

they_o be_v now_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v past_o sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n &_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 2._o to_o the_o roman_n they_o have_v a_o heart_n y_fw-es can_v repent_v so_o say_v s._n

here_o to_o consider_v be_v with_o what_o mind_n they_o do_v commit_v this_o great_a sin_n which_o here_o the_o apostle_n set_v out_o with_o these_o word_n they_o crucify_v again_o unto_o themselves_o

again_o with_o all_o opprobry_n and_o shame_n &_o where_o it_o be_v say_v they_o do_v this_o unto_o themselves_o it_o note_v how_o desirous_o &_o willing_o &_o with_o what_o consent_n of_o mind_n they_o do_v it_o even_o so_o as_o they_o will_v again_o have_v the_o cross_n of_o christ_n a_o mock_a stock_n in_o the_o world_n thus_o their_o own_o conscience_n be_v their_o accuser_n of_o most_o
