sin_n and_o with_o hearty_a repentance_n forsake_v they_o and_o when_o we_o go_v about_o to_o search_v out_o our_o fin_n we_o must_v remember_v that_o there_o be_v three_o place_n where_o we_o must_v

again_o another_o cause_n of_o our_o fast_v this_o day_n be_v to_o prepare_v we_o to_o make_v a_o church_n of_o christ_n among_o we_o and_o if_o you_o say_v what_o must_v we_o do_v to_o prepare_v for_o church-estate_n i_o answer_v we_o must_v repent_v of_o our_o sin_n and_o make_v ourselves_o clean_o we_o must_v get_v cleanness_n of_o heart_n when_o we_o come_v near_o unto_o god_n according_a
