therefore_o must_v both_o acknowledge_v the_o fact_n and_o know_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o be_v to_o say_v against_o the_o law_n if_o a_o man_n therefore_o think_v that_o what_o he_o have_v do_v be_v not_o against_o the_o law_n its_o impossible_a he_o shall_v repent_v of_o it_o before_o repentance_n therefore_o its_o necessary_a there_o be_v a_o applicacation_n of_o the_o fact_n unto_o

there_o be_v two_o thing_n considerable_a one_o the_o judgement_n or_o condemnation_n whereby_o the_o fact_n be_v judge_v to_o be_v a_o sin_n the_o other_o when_o the_o party_n condemn_v do_v
