a_o sense_n as_o he_o understand_v it_o the_o old_a pelagian_o may_v make_v good_a that_o position_n of_o they_o that_o original_a sin_n be_v by_o imitation_n they_o that_o come_v after_o do_v only_o

in_o this_o case_n only_o and_o if_o the_o answer_n may_v be_v admit_v any_o man_n may_v suffer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o any_o father_n because_o it_o may_v be_v say_v here_o as_o well_o as_o there_o
