only_o and_o original_a disease_n yet_o even_o those_o than_o cost_v christ_n his_o precious_a blood_n yea_o and_o make_v he_o a_o curse_n for_o we_o and_o to_o cry_v my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o

then_o that_o christ_n die_v not_o for_o contemptuous_a sinner_n and_o if_o christ_n die_v not_o for_o the_o rebellious_a contemner_n what_o shall_v be_v become_v of_o a_o great_a many_o in_o these_o

he_o we_o read_v of_o no_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v pardonable_a save_v that_o against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o also_o say_v the_o father_n if_o a_o man_n can_v repent_v of_o it_o be_v pardonable_a and_o if_o pardonable_a upon_o faith_n and_o repentance_n no_o doubt_n but_o christ_n take_v even_o that_o upon_o he_o also_o indeed_o if_o a_o man_n run_v on_o in_o sin_n with_o a_o

which_o have_v not_o make_v up_o the_o full_a measure_n of_o iniquity_n but_o have_v make_v up_o that_o or_o have_v their_o soul_n betroth_v unto_o wickedness_n he_o hate_v they_o his_o hate_n of_o they_o as_o reprobate_n be_v no_o less_o necessary_a or_o usual_a than_o his_o love_n of_o they_o as_o man_n but_o though_o he_o necessary_o hate_v they_o be_v once_o become_v reprobate_n or_o have_v

yet_o a_o little_a before_o where_o he_o say_v god_n unfeigned_o love_v all_o man_n god_n do_v not_o love_n but_o hate_v the_o reprobate_n although_o they_o be_v man_n yea_o the_o great_a part_n of_o
