he_o do_v nothing_o deficient_a as_o fall_v from_o that_o eternal_a and_o immutable_a law_n of_o righteousness_n whereas_o the_o angel_n and_o man_n do_v miss_v or_o come_v short_a of_o the_o rule_n

in_o this_o condition_n they_o stand_v till_o remission_n or_o forgiveness_n come_v which_o take_v away_o their_o sin_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o consider_v this_o foundation_n that_o every_o sin_n commit_v by_o a_o man_n though_o the_o sin_n be_v transient_a and_o quick_o pass_v away_o yet_o it_o do_v still_o continue_v and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v still_o in_o act_v till_o by_o

which_o be_v pass_v and_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v think_v upon_o but_o you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v something_o which_o do_v remain_v after_o a_o sin_n be_v commit_v which_o be_v somewaies_o the_o same_o with_o the_o action_n of_o sin_n so_o that_o not_o figurative_o but_o proper_o the_o sin_n itself_o be_v say_v to_o continue_v thus_o the_o scripture_n call_v something_o by_o the_o name_n of_o sin_n that_o do_v continue_v when_o yet_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o sin_n be_v past_a as_o david_n many_o month_n after_o he_o have_v sin_v pray_v god_n to_o blot_v out_o his_o sin_n why_o where_o be_v his_o sin_n it_o be_v commit_v long_o before_o and_o it_o be_v a_o transient_a act_n but_o yet_o david_n by_o this_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v something_o which_o do_v continue_v that_o act_n of_o sin_n whereby_o david_n be_v as_o much_o bind_v up_o in_o his_o conscience_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v in_o the_o very_a commission_n of_o it_o consider_v
