have_v a_o quiet_a and_o a_o glad_a consciens_fw-la be_v evermore_o sure_a and_o certain_a that_o god_n be_v favourable_a to_o they_o for_o christ_n which_o do_v delyver_v we_o from_o all_o evyls_n

the_o conclusion_n here_o i_o have_v provyd_v and_o teach_v out_o of_o the_o fundation_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o no_o faithful_a belever_n in_o christ_n can_v doubt_v or_o aught_o to_o

our_o adversares_fw-la can_v have_v no_o thing_n to_o lay_v against_o this_o doctrine_n or_o to_o subvert_v this_o foundation_n but_o one_o refuge_n they_o have_v and_o when_o we_o bring_v scripture_n against_o they_o what_o say_v they_o the_o lutherians_n say_v they_o bring_v scripture_n for_o they_o but_o they_o must_v expound_v scripture_n as_o our_o fore_a father_n do_v answer_n a_o answer_n i_o answer_v again_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v so_o to_o do_v for_o we_o may_v do_v it_o well_o enough_o and_o i_o may_v say_v with_o s._n cyrillꝰ_n cirillus_n cirillus_n we_o keep_v the_o faith_n of_o

through_o grace_n because_o the_o promise_n may_v stand_v firm_a and_o steadfast_a i_o marvel_v say_v he_o that_o man_n have_v rather_o look_v on_o their_o own_o infyrmite_n than_o unto_o the_o
