other_o yet_o that_o unto_o we_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o they_o be_v evident_a by_o these_o two_o strong_a reason_n first_o because_o the_o scripture_n do_v distinguish_v between_o they_o for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o distinguish_v where_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o distinguish_v for_o which_o cause_n the_o schoolman_n be_v just_o tax_v of_o all_o learned_a protestant_n to_o have_v corrupt_v the_o gospel_n and_o all_o religion_n by_o their_o idle_a and_o curious_a distinction_n not_o use_v in_o the_o scripture_n whereupon_o that_o new_a distinction_n between_o the_o guilt_n and_o the_o sin_n namely_o that_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o from_o before_o his_o father_n or_o out_o of_o his_o father_n sight_n not_o the_o sin_n itself_o but_o the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o we_o by_o our_o holy_a walk_a may_v take_v away_o the_o sin_n itself_o out_o of_o god_n sight_n be_v the_o more_o worthy_o to_o be_v suspect_v for_o a_o corrupt_a of_o the_o gospel_n because_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n make_v no_o such_o distinction_n say_v no_o where_n that_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o say_v every_o where_o that_o the_o sin_n itself_o and_o the_o effect_n and_o punishment_n thereof_o be_v take_v away_o out_o of_o god_n sight_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n where_o god_n do_v distinguish_v for_o our_o capacity_n there_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o we_o not_o to_o distinguish_v and_o therefore_o see_v god_n word_n in_o this_o point_n do_v distinguish_v not_o only_o in_o word_n as_o psal_n 94._o 10._o psal_n 9_o â—â—_o 10._o verse_n 9_o 10._o where_o they_o be_v both_o distinct_o set_v down_o but_o also_o in_o continual_a practice_n say_v no_o where_n that_o god_n know_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o child_n

righteousness_n utter_o abolish_v they_o out_o of_o his_o own_o sight_n now_o this_o distinction_n if_o all_o man_n devil_n and_o angel_n will_v gainsay_v it_o must_v stand_v the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o if_o we_o do_v not_o by_o curious_a pry_n into_o god_n incomprehensible_a nature_n cast_v ourselves_o into_o a_o maze_n and_o as_o luther_n true_o say_v by_o curious_a speculation_n of_o the_o divine_a majesty_n fall_v with_o lucifer_n and_o lose_v god_n his_o gospel_n and_o all_o together_o we_o may_v discern_v some_o difference_n even_o in_o nature_n between_o know_v and_o
