any_o flee_v from_o sin_n and_o not_o rather_o add_v sin_n to_o sin_n do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v that_o god_n grace_n may_v be_v the_o more_o manifest_v to_o his_o glory_n the_o apostle_n

for_o it_o do_v no_o way_n lessen_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n that_o god_n get_v glory_n by_o it_o for_o sin_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n tend_v to_o the_o darken_n of_o god_n glory_n and_o man_n by_o

we_o the_o apostle_n answer_v this_o after_o his_o usual_a manner_n with_o detestation_n and_o then_o more_o full_o know_v you_o not_o that_o to_o who_o you_o yield_v yourselves_o servant_n to_o

from_o the_o curse_n the_o condemnation_n and_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n be_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o servant_n of_o righteousness_n but_o they_o that_o sin_n secure_o upon_o a_o conceit_n
