life_n and_o salvation_n which_o be_v most_o full_o and_o often_o record_v ●nd_v testify_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n to_o and_o concern_v such_o person_n in_o such_o manner_n qualify_v as_o

who_o dare_v say_v so_o and_o be_v he_o now_o unjust_a in_o publish_v his_o gospel_n to_o all_o because_o he_o save_v not_o all_o or_o dare_v thou_o say_v he_o alter_v his_o purpose_n and_o change_v
