all_o one_o more_o heinous_a sin_n and_o worthy_a of_o death_n and_o so_o all_o both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n without_o difference_n and_o without_o acception_n be_v guilty_a before_o god_n rom._n 3._o 19_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o divine_a wrath_n and_o eternal_a death_n thus_o he_o verbatim_o his_o great_a argument_n against_o the_o ordinary_a interpretation_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n viz._n that_o no_o law_n of_o god_n require_v any_o more_o than_o a_o man_n can_v do_v which_o i_o grant_v to_o be_v true_a but_o not_o in_o his_o sense_n in_o the_o sense_n that_o he_o use_v it_o will_v do_v strange_a feat_n by_o the_o same_o argument_n that_o he_o prove_v that_o god_n do_v not_o require_v his_o people_n to_o be_v free_a from_o their_o daily_a fail_n viz._n because_o no_o man_n clothe_v with_o flesh_n can_v live_v without_o such_o he_o may_v prove_v that_o any_o man_n for_o any_o impotency_n on_o he_o to_o the_o contrary_a may_v be_v free_a from_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o pardon_n or_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n thus_o whosoever_o can_v live_v free_a from_o any_o great_a sin_n deserve_v or_o threaten_v with_o eternal_a death_n can_v live_v without_o need_n of_o pardon_n or_o christ_n satisfaction_n but_o all_o man_n can_v live_v free_a from_o any_o great_a sin_n deserve_v or_o threaten_v with_o eternal_a death_n ergo._n the_o consequence_n be_v apparent_a he_o may_v prove_v his_o minor_a thus_o if_o there_o be_v any_o man_n that_o can_v not_o live_v without_o any_o great_a sin_n threaten_v with_o eternal_a death_n than_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v no_o law_n require_v he_o to_o live_v without_o such_o sin_n but_o the_o law_n of_o god_n require_v he_o to_o live_v without_o such_o sin_n ergo._n yea_o and_o he_o may_v produce_v aquinas_n and_o other_o affirm_v that_o though_o a_o man_n may_v live_v a_o little_a while_n without_o venialsin_n though_o yet_o not_o long_o yet_o he_o may_v live_v without_o mortal_a sin_n all_o his_o life_n yea_o this_o argument_n will_v as_o well_o prove_v the_o heathen_a may_v live_v perfect_a and_o without_o sin_n as_o any_o else_o if_o they_o do_v what_o they_o can_v do_v what_o they_o can_v do_v and_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n he_o say_v to_o say_v otherwise_o the_o consequence_n he_o may_v prove_v still_o thus_o that_o no_o law_n require_v any_o man_n to_o do_v more_o than_o he_o can_v as_o for_o such_o word_n proper_o sin_n improper_o sin_n less_o proper_o sin_n sin_n not_o deserve_v eternal_a death_n and_o then_o sometime_o again_o say_v no_v law_n require_v a_o man_n to_o live_v without_o they_o it_o be_v such_o slippery_a discourse_n off_o and_o on_o that_o i_o can_v but_o ask_v question_n to_o have_v he_o clear_v his_o meaning_n in_o answer_v and_o such_o question_n i_o will_v ask_v a_o man_n speak_v obscure_o about_o venial-sin_n among_o which_o some_o reckon_v fornication_n be_v these_o thing_n or_o entity_n that_o be_v consistent_a with_o truth_n of_o grace_n or_o sincerity_n
