deceive_v not_o yourselves_o the_o same_o death_n of_o christ_n that_o forgive_v your_o sin_n destroy_v also_o your_o sin_n for_o christ_n by_o his_o own_o death_n &_o once_o offer_v up_o himself_o upon_o the_o altar_n of_o his_o cross_n have_v destroy_v the_o body_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n the_o be_v aswell_o as_o the_o guiltiness_n the_o power_n as_o well_o as_o the_o merit_n of_o sin_n
