as_o well_o as_o a_o actual_a breach_n in_o our_o public_a person_n 1_o john_n 3._o 4._o again_o they_o be_v no_o other_o sin_n then_o those_o against_o that_o law_n give_v on_o sinai_n for_o the_o

the_o apostle_n speak_v but_o of_o two_o covenant_n to_o wit_n grace_n and_o work_n under_o which_o two_o covenant_n all_o be_v some_o under_o one_o and_o some_o under_o the_o other_o now_o this_o to_o adam_n be_v one_o therefore_o that_o on_o sinai_n be_v one_o and_o all_o one_o with_o this_o and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n i_o say_v i_o know_v that_o the_o sin_n against_o that_o on_o
