on_o which_o they_o say_v the_o stress_n of_o sinner_n salvation_n depend_v be_v a_o mere_a human_a invention_n god_n have_v promise_v nothing_o to_o it_o upon_o popish_a term_n neither_o can_v a_o

who_o fancy_n a_o strange_a mock-forgiveness_n of_o a_o sinner_n by_o the_o god_n of_o truth_n this_o they_o do_v to_o colour_n and_o palltate_fw-la their_o own_a hypocritical_a reconciliation_n

and_o invalidate_v their_o testimony_n by_o false_a recrimination_n now_o it_o be_v alike_o absurd_a for_o a_o malefactor_n convict_v by_o law_n to_o presume_v to_o clear_a himself_o by_o calumniate_a of_o another_o as_o for_o one_o real_o innocent_a to_o bear_v a_o false_a testimony_n against_o himself_o this_o be_v unnatural_a and_o against_o regular_a self-love_n but_o the_o other_o be_v

the_o charity_n of_o these_o jesuit_n towards_o their_o enemy_n be_v the_o more_o to_o be_v suspect_v because_o their_o
