A42503	Sapientia justificata, or, A vindication of the fifth chapter to the Romans and therein of the glory of the divine attributes, and that in the question or case of original sin, against any way of erroneous understanding it, whether old or new : more especially, an answer to Dr. Jeremy Taylors Deus justificatus / by John Gaule ...

we_o ourselves_o do_v it_o or_o else_o give_v occasion_n for_o other_o to_o quarrel_v at_o they_o for_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v this_o clause_n thus_o translate_v be_v greedy_o snatch_v at_o of_o

and_o again_o seem_v to_o admit_v of_o original_a sin_n for_o her_o share_n in_o this_o reckon_n but_o his_o in_o asmuch_o quite_o thrust_v it_o out_o and_o bring_v in_o actual_a sin_n in_o its_o
