if_o he_o learn_v to_o know_v his_o own_o sin_n i_o know_v my_o iniquity_n say_v david_n this_o knowledge_n come_v by_o the_o law_n therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o have_v the_o law_n ever_o

be_v that_o they_o know_v not_o their_o sin_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v acknowledge_v it_o wherefore_o let_v we_o beg_v from_o our_o gracious_a god_n that_o we_o may_v see_v our_o sin_n and_o
