some_o divine_n ascribe_v to_o sin_v something_o positive_a not_o absolute_o as_o if_o it_o be_v somewhat_o subsistent_a but_o relative_o and_o moral_o as_o it_o be_v oppose_v to_o pure_a nothing_o for_o say_v they_o sin_n be_v a_o privation_n which_o make_v the_o act_n whereto_o it_o belong_v sinful_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o mere_a nothing_o so_o suarez_n say_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o
