in_o it_o can_v possible_o escape_v we_o but_o it_o be_v certain_a and_o apparent_a to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o christian_n through_o gross_a and_o wilful_a negligence_n remain_v utter_o ignorant_a of_o many_o necessary_a point_n of_o their_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o man_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v fear_v that_o this_o book_n and_o the_o religion_n of_o christ_n contain_v in_o it_o among_o a_o infinite_a of_o professor_n labour_n with_o great_a penury_n of_o true_a beleiver_n it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n if_o the_o time_n will_v permit_v to_o

we_o to_o know_v i_o will_v content_v myself_o to_o add_v only_o one_o more_o take_v from_o our_o voluntary_a and_o presumptuous_a neglect_n to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o we_o know_v and_o

that_o he_o know_v but_o one_o way_n to_o it_o and_o i_o shall_v see_v he_o stand_v still_o or_o go_v some_o other_o way_n have_v i_o any_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o this_o man_n believe_v

we_o do_v but_o believe_v in_o god_n so_o much_o as_o most_o subject_n do_v in_o their_o king_n do_v we_o as_o very_o believe_v that_o god_n can_v and_o will_v make_v we_o perfect_o happy_a if_o we_o serve_v he_o though_o all_o the_o world_n conspire_v to_o make_v we_o miserable_a and_o that_o he_o can_v and_o will_v make_v we_o miserable_a if_o we_o serve_v he_o not_o though_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v conspire_v to_o make_v we_o happy_a how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o to_o such_o a_o faith_n our_o life_n shall_v not_o be_v comformable_a who_o be_v there_o ever_o so_o mad_o in_o love_n

therefore_o though_o they_o profess_v &_o protest_v they_o have_v faith_n yea_o their_o protestation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v regard_v against_o their_o action_n but_o we_o may_v safe_o and_o
