partly_o out_o of_o the_o love_n of_o themselves_o and_o partly_o out_o of_o the_o love_n of_o their_o sin_n therefore_o job_n say_v 31.33_o job_n 31.33_o i_o have_v not_o hide_v my_o sin_n as_o

man_n there_o be_v a_o more_o impossibility_n unto_o this_o duty_n because_o they_o know_v good_a and_o evil_a sin_n and_o righteousness_n no_o further_o than_o they_o have_v by_o that_o light_n and_o

where_o they_o shall_v indeed_o see_v themselves_o they_o be_v altogether_o ignorant_a and_o will_v not_o look_v into_o it_o neither_o of_o themselves_o take_v the_o pain_n so_o they_o will_v not_o
