therefore_o must_v both_o acknowledge_v the_o fact_n and_o know_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o be_v to_o say_v against_o the_o law_n if_o a_o man_n therefore_o think_v that_o what_o he_o have_v do_v be_v not_o against_o the_o law_n its_o impossible_a he_o shall_v repent_v of_o it_o before_o repentance_n therefore_o its_o necessary_a there_o be_v a_o applicacation_n of_o the_o fact_n unto_o

be_v the_o rule_n of_o man_n action_n but_o sure_o either_o one_o man_n or_o some_o man_n be_v the_o interpreter_n of_o the_o law_n for_o every_o man_n be_v not_o judge_v of_o his_o own_o fact_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n or_o not_o wherefore_o the_o fact_n of_o which_o we_o doubt_v whether_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n or_o not_o must_v be_v unfold_v before_o some_o man_n or_o man_n and_o the_o

with_o himself_o not_o to_o do_v so_o any_o more_o it_o be_v repentance_n and_o thus_o either_o it_o be_v not_o true_a repentance_n or_o else_o it_o be_v not_o antecedent_n but_o subsequent_a to_o

there_o be_v two_o thing_n considerable_a one_o the_o judgement_n or_o condemnation_n whereby_o the_o fact_n be_v judge_v to_o be_v a_o sin_n the_o other_o when_o the_o party_n condemn_v do_v
