in_o actual_a sin_n bodily_a sin_n thou_o be_v dead_a if_o thou_o be_v not_o mortify_v in_o they_o give_v up_o your_o body_n a_o live_a sacrifice_n that_o be_v mortification_n let_v not_o sin_n

this_o to_o be_v in_o divers_a place_n at_o once_o be_v the_o prerogative_n of_o god_n himself_o second_o they_o prove_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n be_v

of_o these_o be_v that_o we_o can_v neither_o sensible_o nor_o safe_o preach_v mercy_n in_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n unless_o as_o we_o do_v acquaint_v you_o with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n as_o

though_o the_o action_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v short_a yet_o the_o passion_n will_v be_v long_o a_o sin_n may_v be_v soon_o commit_v but_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o soon_o have_v
