one_o sinner_n that_o convert_v more_o than_o for_o ninety_o and_o nine_o just_a man_n yea_o let_v this_o above_o all_o the_o rest_n prick_v thou_o up_o unto_o repentance_n consider_v both_o how_o

after_o john_n that_o he_o which_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n have_v everlasting_a life_n but_o what_o say_v the_o same_o john_n in_o a_o other_o place_n he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o

for_o if_o you_o believe_v that_o paul_n or_o the_o holy_a spirit_n rather_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o paul_n do_v speak_v the_o truth_n you_o see_v plain_o that_o you_o can_v have_v no_o hope_n of_o

of_o god_n all_o man_n though_o they_o have_v but_o mean_a skill_n in_o logic_n see_v that_o this_o conclusion_n follow_v of_o the_o former_a proposition_n which_o be_v manifest_o true_a and_o grant_v even_o of_o our_o adversary_n for_o this_o argument_n be_v make_v in_o right_a mood_n and_o figure_n popish_a priest_n therefore_o with_o their_o harlot_n have_v none_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v neither_o do_v they_o believe_v as_o they_o false_o report_v albeit_o they_o feign_v certain_a vain_a dream_n to_o themselves_o concern_v faith_n but_o some_o will_v say_v it_o may_v be_v that_o
