of_o sin_n do_v intimate_v that_o people_n do_v not_o sin_v any_o more_o and_o therefore_o he_o anticipate_v it_o in_o the_o 8._o verse_n if_o any_o man_n say_v he_o have_v no_o sin_n he_o deceive_v

the_o world_n this_o appear_v plain_a for_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n the_o apostle_n drive_v at_o in_o these_o two_o verse_n first_o a_o enforcement_n of_o something_o that_o he_o will_v work_v upon_o little_a child_n as_o he_o call_v they_o that_o have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n second_o the_o great_a argument_n the_o apostle_n use_v to_o prevail_v with_o they_o to_o entertain_v and_o embrace_v that_o which_o he_o will_v fasten_v upon_o they_o the_o thing_n that_o the_o apostle_n will_v fasten_v upon_o believer_n be_v that_o they_o will_v not_o sin_v for_o which_o cause_n he_o write_v these_o thing_n to_o they_o the_o argument_n by_o which_o he_o will_v prevail_v with_o they_o to_o do_v this_o he_o call_v upon_o they_o for_o be_v a_o strange_a one_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o most_o man_n observe_v the_o argument_n if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n put_v they_o together_o and_o it_o amount_v to_o this_o i_o will_v have_v you_o not_o to_o sin_v now_o the_o only_a way_n and_o the_o best_a way_n to_o prevail_v with_o you_o not_o to_o sin_n be_v this_o i_o will_v acquaint_v you_o with_o this_o truth_n that_o if_o you_o do_v commit_v sin_n there_o be_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n that_o shall_v take_v order_n that_o the_o sin_n you_o commit_v shall_v do_v you_o no_o hurt_n at_o all_o though_o you_o do_v sin_n he_o be_v become_v the_o propitiation_n for_o your_o sin_n therefore_o fear_v not_o though_o you_o do_v sin_n of_o any_o hurt_n that_o can_v come_v to_o you_o by_o these_o sin_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o argument_n by_o which_o he_o will_v prevail_v with_o they_o and_o we_o against_o the_o commission_n of_o sin_n now_o what_o a_o absurd_a argument_n seem_v this_o to_o be_v not_o only_o to_o the_o world_n but_o even_o to_o zealous_a professor_n also_o to_o prevail_v with_o man_n to_o the_o forbearance_n of_o sin_n to_o tell_v they_o before_o hand_n that_o if_o they_o sin_v there_o be_v a_o advocate_n for_o they_o and_o he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o their_o sin_n that_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n for_o man_n to_o forbear_v sin_n be_v such_o a_o paradox_n not_o only_o to_o the_o world_n but_o even_o to_o professor_n themselves_o that_o for_o aught_o i_o see_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n at_o this_o day_n there_o be_v nothing_o so_o vile_o calumniate_v as_o the_o publish_n of_o this_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n to_o man_n in_o this_o way_n as_o be_v the_o high_a way_n to_o break_v out_o into_o all_o manner_n of_o sinfulness_n whatsoever_o this_o say_v man_n be_v that_o which_o let_v go_v the_o reins_o into_o the_o neck_n of_o libertisme_n this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v man_n take_v liberty_n without_o control_n free_o to_o commit_v any_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n who_o ever_o be_v of_o this_o mind_n i_o must_v tell_v he_o before_o i_o go_v on_o he_o do_v direct_o cross_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o direct_o give_v the_o lie_n to_o the_o apostle_n here_o that_o express_v with_o much_o infallibility_n to_o the_o world_n how_o little_a hurt_n the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n can_v do_v do_v to_o person_n in_o jesus_n christ_n in_o that_o he_o pass_v it_o as_o a_o argument_n to_o prevail_v from_o sin_n i_o shall_v beseech_v you_o belove_v not_o to_o have_v any_o regard_n to_o any_o word_n i_o shall_v say_v of_o myself_o to_o you_o but_o as_o i_o shall_v speak_v the_o full_a mind_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o one_o point_n first_o in_o general_n which_o be_v

and_o then_o as_o the_o scripture_n will_v evince_v the_o truth_n so_o for_o the_o truth_n sake_n receive_v that_o which_o shall_v be_v deliver_v though_o for_o the_o present_a it_o may_v seem_v

from_o be_v a_o spur_n to_o provoke_v he_o to_o the_o commission_n of_o sin_n that_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o strong_a argument_n and_o the_o best_a motive_n toprevail_v with_o such_o person_n to_o

the_o clear_a truth_n it_o appear_v plain_o that_o the_o apostle_n business_n here_o be_v to_o take_v man_n off_o from_o sin_v &_o that_o appear_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o tex_n
