which_o can_v import_v nothing_o but_o the_o commit_v sin_n remain_v on_o the_o sinner_n person_n and_o conscience_n as_o a_o forbid_a and_o condemn_a fault_n by_o the_o law_n neither_o do_v we_o

corrupt_v thereby_o last_o we_o can_v but_o adore_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o call_v personal_a guilt_n sin_n because_o 1._o a_o bare_a physical_a act_n as_o such_o be_v not_o sin_n and_o as_o
