to_o be_v for_o or_o against_o a_o state_n the_o truth_n must_v needs_o be_v that_o all_o thing_n reckon_v and_o in_o the_o end_n it_o can_v never_o prove_v a_o good_a doctrine_n for_o any_o state_n that_o god_n have_v not_o teach_v nor_o that_o unproffitable_a which_o he_o have_v deliver_v us._n but_o i_o say_v further_o that_o our_o doctrine_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o doctrine_n itself_o be_v more_o to_o restrain_v from_o vice_n then_o that_o of_o they_o for_o what_o great_a encouragement_n can_v there_o be_v in_o all_o good_a reason_n and_o policy_n to_o sin_n then_o impiety_n &_o

to_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o scripture_n it_o appear_v by_o this_o that_o whatsoever_o the_o law_n forbid_v be_v sin_n for_o of_o the_o law_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n but_o this_o
