of_o the_o same_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a that_o god_n require_v 3.4_o they_o be_v the_o hypocrisy_n of_o the_o heart_n see_v for_o that_o very_a cause_n s._n john_n say_v that_o man_n which_o

the_o ignorance_n be_v a_o witness_n of_o the_o darkness_n which_o sin_n have_v engender_v in_o the_o understanding_n of_o man_n and_o of_o the_o contempt_n of_o god_n and_o what_o negligence_n

for_o to_o speak_v proper_o we_o may_v say_v that_o we_o do_v all_o sin_n of_o necessity_n and_o not_o by_o constraint_n t._n what_o difference_n put_v thou_o then_o between_o necessity_n and_o

we_o must_v here_o consider_v that_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v profitable_a and_o necessary_a in_o two_o sort_n m._n which_o be_v the_o first_o p._n i_o will_v give_v thou_o example_n touch_v the_o
