notwithstanding_o the_o greatness_n and_o enormity_n of_o their_o sin_n do_v not_o cause_v they_o to_o despair_v but_o they_o assure_v themselves_o that_o the_o same_o shall_v not_o be_v impute_v unto_o they_o or_o lay_v unto_o their_o charge_n this_o i_o say_v lest_o any_o man_n shall_v think_v that_o after_o faith_n be_v receive_v there_o be_v little_a account_n to_o be_v make_v of_o sin_n sin_n be_v true_o sin_n whether_o a_o man_n commit_v it_o before_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n or_o after_o and_o god_n always_o hate_v sin_n yea_o all_o sin_n be_v

but_o to_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o in_o christ_n not_o only_o all_o his_o sin_n be_v damnable_a but_o even_o his_o good_a work_n also_o be_v sin_n according_a to_o that_o say_n whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n 14.23_o therefore_o the_o error_n of_o the_o schoolman_n be_v most_o pernicious_a schoolman_n which_o do_v distinguish_v sin_n according_a to_o the_o fact_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o person_n he_o that_o believe_v have_v as_o great_a sin_n as_o the_o unbeliever_n but_o to_o he_o that_o believe_v it_o be_v forgive_v and_o not_o impute_v to_o the_o unbeliever_n it_o be_v not_o pardon_v but_o impute_v to_o the_o believer_n it_o be_v venial_a to_o the_o unbeliever_n it_o be_v mortal_a and_o damnable_a not_o for_o any_o difference_n of_o sin_n or_o because_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o believer_n be_v less_o and_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o unbeliever_n great_a but_o for_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o person_n for_o the_o faithful_a assure_v himself_o by_o faith_n that_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v he_o for_o as_o much_o as_o christ_n have_v give_v himself_o for_o it_o therefore_o although_o he_o have_v sin_n in_o he_o and_o daily_o sin_v yet_o he_o continue_v godly_a but_o contrariwise_o the_o unbeliever_n continue_v wicked_a godly_a and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a wisdom_n and_o consolation_n of_o the_o godly_a that_o although_o they_o have_v and_o commit_v sin_n yet_o they_o know_v that_o for_o christ_n sake_n they_o be_v not_o impute_v unto_o they_o this_o i_o say_v for_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o godly_a sin_n for_o they_o only_o feel_v in_o deed_n that_o they_o have_v and_o do_v commit_v sin_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o feel_v that_o they_o do_v not_o love_n god_n so_o fervent_o as_o they_o shall_v do_v that_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v he_o so_o hearty_o as_o they_o will_v but_o rather_o they_o oftentimes_o doubt_v whether_o god_n have_v a_o care_n of_o they_o or_o no_o they_o be_v impatient_a and_o be_v angry_a with_o god_n in_o adversity_n hereof_o as_o i_o have_v say_v proceed_v the_o sorrowful_a complaint_n of_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o scripture_n and_o special_o in_o the_o psalm_n and_o paul_n himself_o complain_v that_o he_o be_v sell_v under_o sin_n and_o here_o he_o say_v 1.14_o that_o the_o flesh_n resist_v &_o rebel_v against_o the_o spirit_n but_o because_o they_o mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o that_o flesh_n by_o the_o spirit_n as_o he_o say_v in_o a_o other_o place_n &_o also_o in_o the_o end_n of_o this_o chapter_n they_o crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o desire_n and_o lust_n thereof_o 5.24_o therefore_o these_o sin_n do_v not_o hurt_v they_o nor_o condemn_v they_o but_o if_o they_o obey_v the_o flesh_n in_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n thereof_o then_o do_v they_o lose_v
