this_o attribute_n of_o mercy_n we_o that_o have_v be_v the_o sinner_n be_v the_o great_a sharer_n and_o therefore_o i_o dare_v not_o say_v it_o be_v a_o error_n of_o charity_n to_o assert_v that_o the_o bless_a virgin_n have_v no_o sin_n to_o be_v forgive_v she_o i_o may_v say_v it_o be_v a_o error_n for_o it_o be_v against_o the_o text_n death_n pass_v upon_o all_o for_o that_o all_o have_v

doctrine_n may_v seem_v to_o add_v to_o her_o honour_n yet_o it_o must_v needs_o detract_v and_o diminish_v from_o her_o joy_n since_o herself_o have_v proclaim_v these_o word_n my_o soul_n do_v
