of_o which_o a_o person_n have_v be_v guilty_a but_o i_o have_v say_v enough_o to_o this_o scruple_n believe_v whether_o the_o first_o work_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v to_o repent_v or_o to_o believe_v

while_o he_o yet_o remain_v impenitent_a three_o as_o to_o the_o order_n of_o practice_n i_o will_v prescribe_v both_o of_o they_o to_o be_v first_o the_o sinner_n shall_v repent_v first_o and_o the_o
