of_o cause_n and_o i_o say_v your_o mistake_n be_v the_o not_o understand_v of_o cause_n i_o do_v allow_v of_o as_o many_o distinction_n of_o cause_n as_o the_o scripture_n do_v but_o i_o be_o not_o

it_o be_v as_o plain_a that_o he_o die_v for_o those_o that_o curse_v themselves_o his_o blood_n be_v upon_o we_o say_v they_o and_o on_o our_o child_n and_o yet_o say_v he_o father_n forgive_v they_o he_o make_v his_o murderer_n execration_n become_v his_o prayer_n he_o wish_v as_o well_o as_o they_o that_o his_o blood_n may_v be_v both_o upon_o they_o and_o their_o child_n but_o in_o his_o most_o
