further_o and_o as_o we_o admonish_v in_o the_o 2._o observation_n he_o diligent_o enquire_v what_o time_n faith_n be_v impute_v unto_o abraham_n for_o righteousness_n now_o he_o find_v that_o thing_n

for_o a_o man_n must_v always_o first_o believe_v and_o confess_v his_o faith_n or_o ever_o he_o can_v right_o use_v any_o sacrament_n institute_v of_o god_n and_o unless_o a_o man_n already_o endue_v
