in_o any_o part_n but_o only_o christ_n have_v full_o satisfy_v the_o same_o for_o we_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v open_a blasphemy_n to_o say_v that_o god_n can_v not_o forgive_v a_o man_n his_o sin_n except_o he_o be_v willing_o to_o suffer_v due_a correction_n therefore_o for_o christ_n have_v once_o suffer_v for_o we_o and_o find_v eternal_a redemption_n that_o god_n require_v 10._o repentance_n in_o they_o that_o receive_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v of_o discretion_n that_o be_v such_o as_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o believe_v it_o be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o

convert_v we_o we_o can_v repent_v therefore_o it_o be_v a_o presumptuous_a say_n to_o affirm_v that_o god_n can_v because_o he_o be_v righteous_a forgive_v a_o man_n without_o he_o be_v penitent_a for_o his_o righteousness_n be_v thorough_o satisfy_v in_o christ_n before_o we_o be_v bear_v and_o if_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o forgive_v a_o man_n his_o sin_n he_o will_v also_o give_v he_o
