all_o sin_n be_v equal_a and_o like_a that_o do_v augustine_n true_o and_o plain_o deny_v he_o say_v that_o the_o stoic_n do_v go_v about_o to_o prove_v it_o when_z they_o say_v that_z all_o virtue_n

do_v not_o 1._o agree_v with_o the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o do_v witness_v that_o in_o many_o thing_n we_o do_v all_o offend_v and_o if_o we_o say_v that_o we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o do_v deceyve_v our_o self_n and_o there_o be_v no_o truithe_n in_o us._n wherefore_o see_v that_o we_o sin_n in_o many_o thing_n and_z in_o synning_a we_o can_v not_o have_v that_o virtue_n which_o be_v
