receive_v remisfion_n of_o sin_n wherefore_o as_o those_o be_v not_o to_o be_v defraud_v of_o their_o own_o praise_n who_o do_v all_o they_o can_v to_o bring_v the_o brutish_a mind_n of_o the_o people_n to_o a_o deteflation_n of_o their_o own_o evil_a deed_n so_o again_o it_o shall_v be_v inquire_v into_o whether_o this_o be_v all_o that_o must_v be_v do_v thou_o call_v they_o back_o to_o
