that_o which_o be_v so_o to_o he_o second_o a_o repent_a soul_n look_v upon_o sin_n as_o a_o hurtful_a thing_n to_o he_o we_o natural_o turn_v from_o and_o abhor_v that_o which_o be_v so_o we_o

answer_v first_o because_o he_o be_v convince_v that_o self-righteousness_n be_v a_o weak_a imperfect_a thing_n even_o in_o sanctification_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o boast_v of_o

all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o filthy_a rag_n and_o as_o he_o abhor_v it_o because_o it_o be_v unfit_a and_o incompetent_a in_o itself_o for_o that_o use_n so_o because_o it_o be_v utter_o
