2._o a_o second_o defect_n be_v that_o his_o argument_n prove_v that_o the_o saint_n have_v their_o imperfection_n and_o sin_n before_o they_o be_v full_o wash_v and_o cleanse_v from_o they_o which_o we_o also_o acknowledge_v but_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v that_o some_o time_n or_o other_o they_o witness_v a_o perfect_a cleanse_n before_o death_n a_o three_o defect_n be_v his_o confound_a ●he_n state_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o saint_n to_o wit_n their_o weak_a estate_n when_o they_o be_v but_o in_o the_o warfare_n and_o struggle_v against_o sin_n with_o their_o last_o and_o final_a estate_n wherein_o they_o have_v overcome_v and_o get_v the_o victory_n and_o last_o to_o mention_v no_o more_o his_o misapply_v the_o word_n or_o term_n perfect_a when_o it_o be_v take_v in_o a_o high_a sense_n to_o the_o low_a condition_n of_o a_o sinless_a state_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o paul_n when_o he_o say_v philip._n 3._o 12._o he_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o perfect_v where_o he_o
