of_o the_o saint_n while_o they_o have_v their_o many_o spot_n in_o this_o world_n and_o so_o in_o 1_o pet._n 1._o 19_o there_o be_v the_o same_o expression_n we_o be_v redeem_v with_o the_o

that_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o unregenerate_a man_n you_o will_v say_v what_o difference_n difference_n first_o in_o this_o the_o contagion_n and_o infection_n of_o sin_n in_o a_o wicked_a man_n make_v his_o very_a person_n to_o be_v abominable_a and_o be_v loathsome_a through_o his_o sin_n the_o sin_n of_o the_o saint_n have_v no_o such_o infection_n in_o they_o they_o have_v not_o such_o

that_o have_v iniquity_n in_o they_o and_o this_o be_v a_o wide_a difference_n in_o their_o contagion_n and_o infection_n yea_o second_o that_o sin_n that_o be_v in_o a_o wicked_a man_n it_o do_v

all_o they_o meddle_v with_o and_o make_v every_o thing_n that_o they_o meddle_v with_o to_o be_v unclean_a to_o they_o you_o know_v what_o the_o scripture_n say_v in_o 1_o tit._n 1._o 5._o unto_o
