christ_n apostle_n do_v if_o this_o be_v their_o horrid_a wickedness_n that_o make_v they_o unworthy_a to_o live_v out_o of_o prison_n say_v so_o and_o pretend_v no_o other_o but_o if_o it_o be_v

their_o accuser_n common_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v most_o free_a from_o all_o immorality_n and_o have_v a_o outward_a show_n of_o righteousness_n but_o these_o heart-searcher_n see_v that_o

that_o in_o holiness_n justice_n and_o love_n excel_v the_o rest_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n or_o at_o least_o credible_o hear_v of_o such_o i_o can_v not_o have_v believe_v in_o christ_n as_o a_o

3._o but_o if_o this_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n why_o do_v you_o cull_v out_o those_o that_o have_v least_o sin_n to_o fasten_v your_o accusation_n of_o sin_n upon_o if_o there_o be_v a_o
