the_o legal_a expiation_n extend_v only_o to_o such_o sin_n as_o be_v commit_v out_o of_o ignorance_n or_o weakness_n but_o for_o great_a fin_n which_o be_v manifest_a transgression_n of_o the_o law_n no_o sacrifice_n be_v appoint_v but_o the_o penalty_n of_o death_n be_v propose_v but_o if_o god_n do_v remit_v such_o sin_n to_o any_o one_o that_o be_v not_o do_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o by_o the_o singular_a grace_n of_o god_n which_o god_n beyond_o the_o covenant_n exhibit_v when_o and_o to_o who_o he_o list_v but_o under_o the_o new_a covenant_n not_o only_o those_o sin_n be_v remit_v which_o have_v be_v act_v through_o ignorance_n and_o weakness_n but_o such_o as_o be_v the_o most_o open_a transgression_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n so_o that_o he_o who_o have_v fall_v in_o that_o manner_n do_v not_o persevere_v therein_o but_o true_o repent_v and_o relapse_n no_o more_o into_o such_o sin_n second_o in_o that_o under_o the_o old_a covenant_n the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n be_v so_o make_v as_o that_o the_o temporary_a punishment_n only_o be_v take_v away_o whereas_o the_o new_a covenant_n exhibite_v such_o a_o expiation_n as_o remove_v not_o only_o the_o
