that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n condemn_v do_v not_o nature_n condemn_v lie_v cozen_v in_o your_o trade_n lust_n and_o uncleanness_n how_o many_o tradesman_n be_v there_o that_o need_n not_o a_o

heathen_n be_v faithful_a and_o just_a in_o their_o deal_n it_o be_v true_a that_o man_n have_v not_o godliness_n enough_o who_o have_v natural_a honesty_n therefore_o there_o be_v many_o spiritual_a sin_n that_o he_o never_o humble_v himself_o for_o as_o paul_n say_v he_o know_v not_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o heart_n to_o be_v sin_n hence_o man_n be_v to_o be_v exhort_v to_o get_v further_a

to_o heaven_n for_o let_v a_o man_n be_v never_o so_o great_a a_o sinner_n yet_o if_o he_o do_v but_o believe_v all_o be_v well_o now_o the_o people_n of_o god_n sensible_a of_o their_o sin_n find_v
