as_o i._o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o account_v any_o sin_n a_o light_n or_o a_o small_a thing_n such_o a_o thing_n as_o god_n almighty_n will_v not_o concern_v himself_o about_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o we_o may_v allow_v ourselves_o in_o and_o yet_o be_v object_n of_o the_o divine_a favour_n this_o be_v evident_a from_o what_o we_o have_v say_v or_o rather_o be_v our_o text_n itself_o in_o other_o word_n but_o i_o add_v for_o the_o far_o clear_v of_o the_o truth_n hereof_o that_o that_o sin_n which_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o fancy_n so_o light_a a_o matter_n be_v either_o a_o transgression_n of_o god_n law_n or_o it_o be_v not_o if_o it_o be_v not_o we_o may_v not_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o sin_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n how_o can_v it_o be_v a_o light_n or_o a_o trivial_a thing_n if_o it_o be_v real_o so_o then_o must_v god_n need_v so_o account_v it_o for_o he_o judge_n of_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v but_o how_o can_v god_n so_o account_v it_o when_o he_o have_v make_v a_o law_n against_o it_o will_v his_o infinite_a wisdom_n suffer_v he_o to_o make_v a_o law_n which_o he_o matter_n not_o whether_o it_o be_v observe_v or_o no_o such_o a_o law_n will_v be_v a_o very_a vain_a and_o needless_a one_o and_o therefore_o can_v be_v of_o god_n make_v no_o wise_a man_n will_v be_v the_o maker_n of_o such_o a_o law_n but_o because_o some_o sin_n be_v account_v small_a and_o other_o great_a this_o distinction_n be_v not_o to_o be_v bear_v except_o we_o mean_v that_o some_o sin_n be_v small_a one_o in_o comparison_n of_o other_o not_o that_o any_o be_v absolute_o and_o in_o themselves_o small_a indeed_o consider_v sin_n as_o transgression_n of_o god_n law_n so_o all_o be_v alike_o for_o one_o sin_n be_v not_o more_o contrary_a to_o the_o law_n
