that_o the_o religion_n teach_v the_o worship_v of_o god_n lean_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o reveal_v of_o god_n himself_o but_o this_o neither_o be_v sufficient_a that_o the_o religion_n

religion_n and_o not_o immortal_a death_n see_v then_o that_o the_o end_n of_o man_n in_o this_o life_n be_v to_o return_v to_o god_n that_o he_o may_v be_v join_v with_o he_o in_o the_o other_o life_n which_o be_v his_o sovereign_a good_a and_o felicity_n or_o beatitude_n and_o that_o the_o way_n to_o return_v to_o god_n be_v religion_n and_o that_o as_o there_o be_v one_o true_a god_n so_o there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o true_a religion_n who_o mark_n be_v to_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n and_o that_o by_o the_o appointment_n of_o his_o own_o word_n and_o such_o as_o reconcile_v man_n
