for_o now_o it_o be_v sure_a to_o all_o the_o seed_n but_o four_o this_o doctrine_n of_o come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o life_n inform_v we_o of_o the_o evil_a of_o unbelief_n that_o wicked_a

therefore_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v that_o by_o which_o a_o soul_n be_v say_v to_o depart_v from_o god_n because_o it_o be_v that_o which_o at_o first_o cause_v the_o world_n to_o go_v off_o from_o

therefore_o a_o little_a to_o discourse_v of_o this_o evil_a disease_n first_o it_o be_v that_o sin_n above_o all_o other_o that_o have_v some_o show_n of_o reason_n in_o its_o attempt_n for_o it_o

to_o come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n four_o it_o be_v the_o sin_n above_o all_o other_o that_o most_o suit_v with_o the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o flesh_n the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o flesh_n think_v it_o

willingness_n to_o receive_v it_o and_o save_v it_o and_o no_o sin_n can_v do_v this_o so_o artificient_o as_o unbelief_n six_o it_o be_v also_o that_o sin_n which_o be_v always_o at_o hand_n to_o
