sinner_n against_o god_n as_o adam_n be_v god_n may_v just_o when_o he_o make_v he_o a_o father_n make_v he_o the_o father_n of_o a_o sinner_n as_o he_o do_v adam_n and_o so_o visit_v the_o sin_n of_o

without_o sin_n how_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n come_v together_o in_o infant_n i_o dare_v not_o dispute_v that_o pass_v my_o capacity_n but_o if_o this_o be_v true_a which_o they_o imagine_v that_o

that_o they_o lust_n after_o evil_n and_o transgress_v the_o law_n it_o be_v a_o sure_a truth_n that_o if_o infant_n be_v without_o sin_n they_o can_v not_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o
