but_o when_o we_o once_o thorough_o know_v our_o own_o infirmity_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o law_n let_v we_o hearken_v to_o saint_n john_n baptist_n who_o point_v we_o to_o the_o sovereign_a physician_n

be_v all_o quicken_v and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v that_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n which_o we_o have_v by_o inheritance_n from_o he_o shall_v be_v of_o more_o force_n than_o the_o
