for_o the_o first_o consider_v 1._o it_o be_v the_o case_n of_o most_o sinner_n to_o think_v themselves_o free_a from_o those_o sin_n that_o they_o be_v most_o enslave_v to_o and_o one_o reason_n why_o we_o can_v reform_v they_o be_v because_o we_o can_v convince_v they_o of_o their_o gild_n it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n so_o far_o to_o blind_v and_o besool_v the_o sinner_n that_o he_o
