speak_v lie_n for_o as_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o there_o be_v a_o very_a wide_a difference_n between_o man_n be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v in_o sin_n and_o their_o go_v astray_o from_o their_o

because_o it_o can_v hardly_o be_v imagine_v but_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o original_a sin_n it_o will_v produce_v suitable_a effect_n in_o those_o in_o who_o it_o be_v and_o

therefore_o inquire_v we_o in_o the_o next_o place_n whether_o that_o original_a sin_n whereof_o we_o speak_v do_v not_o discover_v itself_o by_o suitable_a effect_n and_o so_o add_v yet_o far_o
