this_o same_o jesus_n who_o be_v now_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n make_v intercession_n for_o he_o and_o call_v to_o mind_n how_o gracious_a he_o be_v to_o st._n peter_n who_o he_o pardon_v

how_o much_o more_o numerous_a the_o sin_n be_v which_o he_o pardon_v to_o we_o that_o therefore_o provide_v he_o have_v a_o break_a and_o contrite_a heart_n he_o need_v not_o in_o the_o least_o

say_v he_o will_v forget_v the_o iniquity_n of_o a_o sinner_n at_o what_o hour_n soever_o he_o shall_v turn_v and_o repent_v that_o pardon_n be_v in_o the_o gospel_n itself_o secure_v to_o we_o upon_o

they_o that_o have_v offend_v we_o thus_o shall_v the_o minister_n support_v his_o hope_n by_o continual_o say_v before_o he_o god_n mercy_n and_o promise_n of_o pardon_n to_o we_o for_o the_o sake_n
