21.31_o as_o may_v be_v further_a instanced_a in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o pharisee_fw-mi and_o publican_n luke_n 18.9_o now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o point_n have_v be_v before_o hint_v namely_o

because_o one_o sin_n put_v a_o man_n under_o the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o law_n as_o well_o as_o a_o million_o of_o sin_n against_o it_o one_o felony_n condemn_v a_o man_n as_o well_o as_o a_o

so_o that_o still_o the_o case_n of_o a_o just_a man_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o law_n be_v as_o dangerous_a as_o the_o great_a sinner_n in_o the_o world_n use_v a_o little_a further_o to_o press_v this_o you_o who_o be_v baptize_v have_v a_o general_a belief_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v under_o part_n of_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n be_v just_a and_o harmless_a as_o to_o man_n but_o
