as_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o foundation_n and_o edification_n it_o may_v be_v interrogat_n what_o sin_n can_v consist_v with_o the_o foundation_n i_o answer_v personal_a sin_n sin_n of_o

durham_n understand_v sin_n of_o ignorance_n of_o duty_n because_o he_o say_v mens_fw-la understanding_n be_v not_o perfect_a nor_o of_o equal_a reach_n now_o ignorance_n or_o simple_a infirmity_n can_v never_o be_v cause_n of_o separation_n see_v separation_n consist_v either_o in_o defect_n or_o else_o in_o excess_n now_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n in_o

former_o commit_v in_o this_o he_o can_v give_v a_o liberty_n to_o the_o gospel_n because_o it_o involve_v a_o contradiction_n by_o reason_n that_o he_o can_v serve_v two_o opposite_n viz._n the_o

they_o be_v opposite_n for_o love_n and_o fidelity_n terminate_v only_o in_o one_o single_a object_n so_o that_o from_o this_o you_o see_v that_o as_o a_o enemy_n he_o can_v never_o give_v liberty_n to_o the_o gospel_n second_o as_o a_o friend_n and_o subject_a to_o the_o crown_n and_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n he_o can_v retain_v a_o authority_n over_o the_o church_n that_o be_v supra_fw-la

the_o gospel_n moreover_o in_o the_o next_o place_n protestant_n can_v never_o embrace_v that_o liberty_n as_o they_o call_v it_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v 1._o it_o set_v limit_n to_o the_o extent_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o its_o doctrine_n which_o be_v to_o go_v throw_v all_o nation_n and_o consequent_o all_o place_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o teach_v they_o to_o observe_v all_o thing_n
