to_o any_o man._n this_o they_o prove_v after_o this_o follow_a manner_n first_o they_o say_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o when_o god_n pardon_v sin_n he_o do_v it_o not_o with_o any_o respect_n to_o

second_o they_o say_v if_o it_o be_v confession_n that_o procure_v a_o man_n the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n what_o will_v become_v of_o that_o passage_n in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o the_o
