it_o need_v no_o far_a enforcement_n yea_o in_o his_o answer_n he_o lay_v a_o far_a ground_n for_o such_o a_o charge_n his_o word_n be_v these_o if_o a_o fit_a of_o sickness_n and_o terrible_a pain_n

lie_v in_o the_o fiery_a lake_n perhaps_o a_o hundred_o year_n yea_o according_o to_o his_o principle_n perhaps_o it_o may_v not_o be_v a_o hundred_o day_n no_o nor_o a_o hundred_o hour_n neither_o for_o if_o they_o repent_v which_o he_o suppose_v they_o may_v and_o shall_v do_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n remain_v the_o same_o to_o procure_v their_o pardon_n then_o as_o now_o and_o no_o

papist_n for_o 1._o they_o make_v believer_n fideles_fw-la suppose_v to_o die_v in_o venial_a sin_n the_o subject_n of_o their_o purgatory_n but_o mr._n c._n will_v indulge_v the_o sodomite_n yea_o
