how_o to_o pass_v by_o low_a principle_n as_o well_o as_o pardon_v lewd_a practice_n he_o that_o can_v and_o do_v forgive_v act_n of_o sin_n when_o very_o high_a can_v and_o will_v forgive_v abstinence_n from_o sin_n when_o the_o principle_n be_v low_a indeed_o christ_n high_o embrace_v soul_n who_o be_v yet_o principled_a but_o low_a nathaniel_n first_o principle_n of_o faith_n in_o

he_o also_o convince_v of_o righteousness_n as_o it_o be_v john_n 16.10_o i.e._n the_o spirit_n convince_v the_o soul_n that_o albeit_o it_o be_v unrighteous_a yet_o there_o be_v a_o righteousness_n

that_o unbelief_n and_o yet_o withal_o a_o sight_n of_o free_a and_o full_a righteousness_n tender_v as_o a_o cure_n of_o both_o if_o i_o say_v thou_o do_v see_v these_o thing_n in_o thy_o
