man_n that_o by_o no_o mean_n it_o can_v be_v conceive_v how_o god_n at_o any_o time_n can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o any_o sin_n because_o see_v sin_n be_v a_o defect_n it_o can_v have_v no_o other_o

4._o there_o appear_v manifest_o in_o all_o man_n a_o certain_a insensibleness_n from_o nature_n itself_o in_o discern_v of_o thing_n true_o good_a and_o true_o evil_a howbeit_o there_o be_v a_o far_o
