which_o comprehend_v the_o express_a doctrine_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n they_o will_v forbear_v to_o object_v to_o we_o that_o we_o injure_v the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o

that_o this_o seem_v the_o most_o necessary_a point_n to_o be_v right_o understand_v first_o we_o believe_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v free_o by_o the_o divine_a mercy_n for_o jesvs-christ's_a

of_o a_o sinner_n we_o do_v therefore_o believe_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v not_o only_o cover_v but_o entire_o efface_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o by_o the_o grace_n by_o which_o
