and_o so_o need_v no_o pardon_n or_o christ_n satisfaction_n for_o such_o fail_n as_o be_v consistent_a with_o true_a christianity_n second_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o pardon_v of_o

1._o his_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o any_o law_n of_o god_n set_v the_o gospel_n itself_o aside_o make_v with_o mankind_n to_o this_o tenor_n or_o purport_n that_o he_o

of_o any_o such_o law_n but_o only_o from_o a_o temporal_a curse_n or_o curse_v of_o this_o life_n the_o consequence_n be_v apparent_a because_o he_o know_v not_o what_o he_o say_v that_o shall_v

possible_o be_v any_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n as_o to_o eternal_a punishment_n at_o all_o because_o the_o first_o law_n to_o which_o the_o satisfaction_n be_v make_v do_v not_o threaten_v it_o
