righteousness_n and_o everlasting_a life_n be_v come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o he_o death_n be_v slay_v whereof_o saint_n paul_n make_v a_o very_a godly_a discourse_n which_o i_o purpose_v

forasmuch_o as_o all_o man_n have_v sin_v for_o until_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n but_o sin_n be_v not_o regard_v as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nevertheless_o death_n reign_v from_o adam_n unto_o moses_n even_o over_o they_o also_o that_o sin_v not_o after_o the_o like_a manner_n of_o the_o transgression_n of_o adam_n who_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o he_o that_o be_v

much_o more_o shall_v they_o which_o receive_v the_o abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n reign_n in_o life_n through_o one_o that_o be_v jesus_n christ_n likewise_o then_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o that_o fault_n come_v on_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o benefit_n abound_v towards_o all_o man_n to_o

the_o law_n enter_v thereupon_o that_o the_o offence_n shall_v abound_v nevertheless_o where_o sin_n abound_v there_o grace_v abound_v much_o more_o that_o as_o sin_n have_v reign_v unto_o death_n

wherethrough_a we_o recover_v the_o image_n of_o god_n for_o these_o selfsame_o cause_n jesus_n christ_n do_v right_o attribute_v blessedness_n unto_o this_o inspire_a faith_n which_o blessedness_n

for_o before_o he_o know_v that_o his_o do_v of_o good_a work_n be_v rather_o to_o make_v himself_o righteous_a then_o for_o the_o love_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o so_o he_o defile_v all_o his_o
