in_o the_o observation_n be_v that_o many_o time_n it_o be_v too_o late_o when_o hypocrite_n be_v discover_v to_o 9_o themselves_o this_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o parable_n for_o the_o foolish_a

be_v so_o reign_v a_o sin_n as_o to_o denominate_v a_o man_n a_o hypocrite_n he_o must_v sure_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o and_o acknowledge_v it_o before_o the_o lord_n or_o else_o how_o can_v he_o hope_v of_o pardon_n for_o it_o now_o i_o say_v there_o be_v pardon_n for_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n only_o that_o against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n except_v and_o therefore_o sure_a some_o
