sin_n the_o stoic_n say_v all_o sin_n be_v alike_o and_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n it_o be_v true_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o object_n all_o sin_n be_v against_o god_n yet_o when_o you_o come_v to_o beg_v pardon_n for_o sin_n according_a as_o your_o sin_n be_v greatn_v you_o be_v according_o to_o behave_v yourselves_o in_o seek_v for_o pardon_n god_n can_v pardon_v great_a sin_n as_o well_o as_o small_a in_o regard_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n nor_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n but_o yet_o in_o your_o behaviour_n in_o seek_v for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n you_o be_v to_o make_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o greatness_n and_o the_o smallnesse_n of_o your_o evil_n for_o consider_v the_o scripture_n make_v a_o difference_n between_o sin_n therefore_o we_o must_v do_v so_o the_o scripture_n compare_v some_o sin_n to_o camel_n and_o some_o to_o gnat_n the_o scripture_n compare_v some_o sin_n to_o beam_n and_o some_o to_o mote_n some_o

true_a every_o sin_n deserve_v hell_n yet_o there_o be_v more_o of_o the_o punishment_n of_o hell_n inflict_v on_o some_o sinner_n than_o other_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o speak_v of_o this_o case_n be_v to_o let_v you_o know_v that_o as_o god_n have_v suffer_v any_o of_o you_o to_o fall_v into_o aggravate_v and_o heinous_a evil_n so_o he_o require_v more_o of_o you_o then_o of_o other_o man_n consider_v that_o god_n require_v of_o you_o more_o humiliation_n than_o he_o require_v of_o other_o man_n in_o the_o law_n you_o read_v that_o if_o a_o man_n touch_v the_o unclean_a thing_n he_o be_v unclean_a till_o evening_n but_o if_o a_o man_n bear_v a_o unclean_a thing_n he_o be_v to_o wash_v his_o clothes_n to_o show_v that_o the_o touch_n of_o sin_n require_v humiliation_n but_o the_o bear_n of_o a_o sin_n in_o thy_o bosom_n thy_o continue_v in_o sin_n require_v more_o work_n then_o mere_o the_o touch_n of_o sin_n peter_n weep_v bitter_o for_o his_o denial_n he_o do_v more_o for_o that_o sin_n then_o for_o a_o ordinary_a sin_n so_o that_o you_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o though_o in_o regard_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o a_o great_a sin_n and_o a_o small_a as_o the_o red_a sea_n can_v drown_v pharaoh_n and_o his_o host_n as_o well_o as_o a_o single_a man_n so_o christ_n blood_n can_v drown_v a_o huge_a host_n of_o sin_n but_o yet_o you_o must_v
