requisite_a and_o that_o we_o must_v be_v sorry_a for_o our_o sin_n but_o we_o obtain_v not_o remission_n of_o sin_n thereby_o for_o remission_n of_o sin_n come_v only_o hereby_o if_o that_o i_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o word_n and_o promise_v of_o god_n and_o embrace_v that_o with_o a_o strong_a faith_n but_o they_o invert_v this_o and_o turn_v it_o up_o side_n down_o they_z omytte_n the_o

this_o as_o concern_v remission_n of_o sin_n to_o conforte_v both_o yourselves_o and_o other_o also_o for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n in_o baptism_n in_o absolution_n in_o the_o open_a preach_v of_o

and_o when_o a_o man_n go_v about_o to_o draw_v his_o foot_n or_o his_o hand_n to_o he_o the_o far_o they_o fall_v from_o he_o wherefore_o aristotle_n in_o his_o ethike_n compare_v such_o a_o man_n
