it_o clean_o away_o but_o rather_o the_o strength_n and_o force_v of_o the_o same_o so_o christ_n he_o save_v we_o from_o other_o calamity_n not_o take_v the_o same_o clean_a away_o but_o rather_o

which_o sin_n can_v be_v forgive_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o this_o make_v many_o man_n unquiet_a in_o their_o heart_n and_o conscience_n for_o some_o there_o be_v which_o ever_o be_v afraid_a lest_o they_o have_v commit_v that_o same_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v irremissible_a therefore_o some_o say_v i_o can_v tell_v

may_v repent_v and_o leave_v his_o wickednsse_n to_o morrow_n and_o so_o not_o commit_v that_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n our_o saviour_n christ_n pronounce_v against_o the_o scribe_n and_o

to_o the_o very_a end_n of_o their_o life_n further_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n be_v general_a they_o pertain_v to_o all_o mankind_n he_o make_v a_o general_a v._n proclamation_n

i_o will_v refresh_v you_o you_o shall_v be_v ease_v from_o the_o burden_n of_o your_o sin_n therefore_o as_o i_o say_v before_o he_o that_o be_v blasphemous_a and_o obstinate_o wicked_a and_o abide_v in_o his_o wickedness_n still_o to_o the_o very_a end_n he_o sin_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o st._n augustine_n and_o all_o other_o godly_a writer_n do_v affirm_v but_o he_o that_o leave_v
