suppose_v we_o shall_v look_v on_o these_o as_o distinct_a there_o be_v as_o little_a reason_n to_o attribute_v the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n to_o his_o entrance_n consider_v as_o distinct_a from_o

there_o because_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v make_v a_o condition_n of_o pardon_n under_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v so_o now_o although_o in_o

no_o reason_n to_o recede_v from_o that_o signification_n when_o they_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ._n and_o we_o do_v not_o contend_v that_o when_o the_o word_n ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d
