A56405 A revindication set forth by William Parker, in the behalfe of Dr. Drayton deceased, and himself of the possibility of a total mortification of sin in this life: and, of the saints perfect obedience to the law of God: to be the orthodox Protestant doctrine, and no innovations (as they are falsly charged to be) of Dr. Drayton and W. Parker; in an illogicall vindication, wherein the necessity of sins remaining in the best saints as long as they live, and the impossibility of perfect obedience to the law of God, is ignorantly and perversly avouched to to [sic] be the orthodox Protestant doctrine; by one who subscribeth his name John Tendring. ...

against_o god_n if_o they_o sin_n against_o thou_o now_o solomon_n word_n which_o be_v by_o he_o bring_v as_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o say_v to_o god_n if_o they_o sin_n against_o thou_o which_o be_v

it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o sin_v not_o than_o its_o ridiculous_a and_o nonsense_n to_o say_v to_o god_n or_o any_o other_o if_o they_o do_v sin_n when_o it_o be_v

may_v not_o sin_n or_o that_o be_v not_o in_o a_o possibility_n to_o sin_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o man_n weakness_n for_o a_o long_a time_n and_o the_o manifold_a temptation_n he_o be_v liable_a unto_o hence_o the_o translator_n ought_v to_o have_v translate_v the_o say_a verse_n to_o make_v it_o good_a sense_n if_o they_o sin_n against_o thou_o for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n which_o may_v not_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o potential_a mood_n of_o the_o verb_n and_o present_a tense_n of_o the_o same_o mood_n which_o the_o translator_n ought_v to_o have_v render_v the_o verb_n in_o to_o
