some_o such_o he_o also_o find_v among_o they_o at_o corinth_n which_o make_v he_o say_v awake_v to_o righteousness_n and_o sin_v not_o 15.34_o he_o find_v such_o at_o ephesus_n and_o cry_v out_o to_o

that_o be_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n this_o he_o also_o find_v among_o the_o hebrew_n wherefore_o he_o say_v to_o they_o let_v we_o lay_v aside_o every_o weight_n 3._o and_o the_o sin_n that_o do_v so_o easy_o beset_v we_o and_o let_v we_o run_v with_o patience_n the_o race_n that_o be_v set_v before_o we_o these_o professor_n be_v easy_o beset_v with_o sin_n yea_o it_o do_v hang_v

to_o word_n right_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n the_o first_o of_o those_o do_v need_v some_o explanation_n because_o in_o some_o sense_n even_o the_o best_a of_o saint_n can_v depart_v from_o sin_n or_o iniquity_n 1._o because_o as_o to_o the_o be_v of_o it_o it_o be_v seat_v and_o root_v in_o their_o flesh_n and_o have_v its_o dwell_n there_o
