sixthly_a i_o do_v however_o believe_v that_o though_o not_o any_o man_n can_v make_v himself_o so_o good_a as_o to_o be_v save_v by_o it_o yet_o most_o man_n may_v be_v abundant_o better_a than_o

most_o base_o innumerate_v and_o may_v also_o be_v in_o a_o hopeful_a way_n of_o conversation_n and_o so_o of_o salvation_n like_o the_o poor_a man_n that_o lay_v at_o the_o pool_n of_o bethesda_n john_n 5.3.5_o who_o though_o he_o be_v not_o able_a of_o himself_o to_o go_v in_o the_o pool_n he_o lay_v in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o cure_n but_o if_o man_n will_v follow_v wickedness_n with_o greediness_n they_o be_v in_o the_o ready_a way_n of_o damnation_n without_o any_o ground_n of_o hope_n for_o salvation_n seven_o i_o believe_v that_o salvation_n of_o sinner_n be_v found_v altogether_o upon_o christ_n and_o lay_v up_o only_o and_o alone_o in_o christ_n viz._n in_o his_o person_n as_o god_n and_o man_n in_o his_o perfect_a righteousness_n in_o his_o painful_a suffering_n in_o the_o garden_n and_o upon_o the_o cross_n in_o his_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a in_o his_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n and_o in_o his_o intercession_n in_o heaven_n and_o shall_v be_v most_o full_o complete_v at_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o second_o come_v of_o christ_n when_o the_o vile_a body_n of_o saint_n shall_v be_v like_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o

eternal_a salvation_n of_o some_o particular_a person_n infallible_o certain_a by_o decree_a their_o save_a conversion_n before_o time_n and_o blessing_n of_o they_o with_o it_o in_o time_n it_o
