more_o greaten_v a_o man_n sin_n than_o his_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v little_a second_o i_o answer_v that_o indeed_o no_o sin_n be_v little_a in_o the_o least_o sin_n that_o ever_o be_v commit_v there_o be_v a_o greatness_n as_o commit_v against_o the_o great_a god_n as_o it_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n and_o a_o abuse_n of_o the_o love_n of_o the_o great_a god_n nevertheless_o though_o every_o sin_n thus_o consider_v be_v great_a yet_o comparative_o some_o sin_n be_v but_o little_a and_o sin_n be_v weigh_v one_o with_o the_o other_o we_o may_v give_v this_o distinction_n of_o they_o into_o little_a and_o great_a light_a and_o heavy_a and_o as_o some_o godly_a man_n be_v faithful_a and_o fear_n god_n above_o many_o so_o some_o wicked_a man_n be_v sinful_a and_o
