though_o when_o it_o move_v they_o will_v speak_v such_o sad_a blasphemy_n and_o vent_v such_o horrible_a doctrine_n that_o it_o make_v i_o wonder_n to_o see_v the_o patience_n of_o god_n in_o that_o he_o do_v not_o command_n either_o the_o ground_n to_o open_v her_o mouth_n and_o swallow_v they_o up_o or_o else_o suffer_v the_o devil_n to_o fetch_v they_o away_o alive_a to_o the_o astonishment_n

john_n 16._o 8._o answ._n yes_o it_o do_v so_o but_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o place_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o this_o namely_o that_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n which_o do_v manifest_a sin_n or_o convince_v of_o sin_n first_o the_o law_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n rom._n 3._o 20._o therefore_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v in_o his_o sight_n viz._n god_n sight_n for_o by_o the_o law_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n 2._o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n do_v make_v manifest_a or_o reprove_v of_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v write_v john_n 16._o 8._o 9_o and_o when_o he_o the_o spirit_n be_v come_v he_o will_v reprove_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n of_o righteousness_n and_o of_o judgement_n of_o sin_n because_o they_o believe_v not_o on_o i_o say_v the_o son_n of_o mary_n which_o be_v christ._n now_o the_o law_n do_v sometime_o by_o its_o own_o power_n manifest_a sin_n without_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n after_o as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o judas_n who_o be_v convince_v of_o the_o sin_n of_o marth_a which_o make_v make_v he_o cry_v out_o i_o have_v sin_v yet_o at_o that_o time_n he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o he_o that_o he_o be_v most_o violent_o possess_v of_o the_o devil_n luke_n 22._o 3_o 4._o again_o sometime_o the_o spirit_n of_o
