also_o as_o well_o as_o from_o his_o mercy_n there_o arise_v a_o necessary_a reason_n to_o persuade_v unto_o we_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o many_o way_n the_o first_o section_n first_o for_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v promise_v to_o forgive_v our_o sin_n as_o before_o have_v be_v sufficient_o prove_v in_o regard_n whereof_o it_o stand_v with_o his_o justice_n to_o perform_v the_o same_o and_o that_o also_o in_o such_o a_o necessity_n as_o that_o either_o he_o must_v forgive_v we_o our_o offence_n according_a to_o his_o word_n or_o else_o we_o must_v account_v he_o unfaithful_a in_o the_o breach_n of_o his_o promise_n or_o else_o which_o be_v horrible_a to_o think_v or_o judge_v he_o to_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n or_o a_o dissembler_n in_o pretend_v one_o thing_n

against_o his_o truth_n for_o injustice_n do_v not_o consist_v only_o in_o work_n but_o in_o word_n also_o and_o it_o appertain_v unto_o a_o just_a man_n to_o deal_v not_o only_o upright_o but_o
