extreme_o confuse_a what_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o most_o thing_n believe_v so_o be_v it_o as_o true_a that_o they_o be_v very_o careful_a that_o they_o be_v not_o too_o clear_o

in_o the_o definition_n of_o faith_n in_o both_o which_o point_n we_o hold_v the_o affirmative_a and_o they_o the_o negative_a they_o dare_v not_o declare_v in_o this_o public_a manner_n what_o they_o

to_o do_v good_a work_n pleasant_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n without_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n prevent_v we_o that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o good_a will_n and_o work_v with_o we_o when_o we_o
