in_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v not_o forgevenes_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o epistle_n unto_o the_o hebrew_n in_o the_o 10._o chap._n say_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o goat_n and_o of_o ox_n and_o of_o

notwithstanding_o we_o have_v already_o by_o faith_n obtain_v justification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n farther_o i_o have_v oftentimes_o admonish_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n seem_v to_o

of_o wickedness_n if_o we_o want_v christ_n then_o must_v we_o needs_o abhor_v god_n and_o fly_v from_o he_o as_o from_o a_o avenger_n and_o punisher_n of_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v that_o hatred_n
