why_o parent_n iustify_v &_o in_o state_n of_o grace_n do_v nevertheless_o beget_v child_n subject_v to_o sin_n &_o original_a corruption_n as_o much_o as_o other_o not_o so_o much_o because_o

be_v true_a the_o sacrament_n of_o our_o law_n in_o like_a sort_n require_v faith_n &_o devotion_n but_o moreover_o in_o themselves_o they_o be_v more_o than_o sign_n and_o do_v contain_v &_o confer_v

though_o the_o law_n of_o the_o gospel_n propound_v more_o temporal_a affliction_n and_o less_o store_n of_o worldly_a prosperity_n yet_o do_v it_o affoarde_v a_o more_o speedy_a passage_n to_o
