ignorant_a person_n be_v most_o forward_o to_o commend_v their_o faith_n yet_o they_o be_v to_o know_v while_o they_o continue_v in_o ignorance_n they_o be_v altogether_o void_a of_o faith_n and_o

lively_a and_o effectual_a when_o thou_o do_v not_o only_o believe_v in_o general_n what_o god_n be_v but_o by_o particular_a application_n to_o thyself_o do_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v such_o a_o one_o to_o thou_o as_o for_o example_n if_o thou_o do_v believe_v only_o by_o a_o general_a and_o historical_a faith_n that_o god_n be_v omnipresent_v that_o be_v in_o every_o place_n present_a fill_a

notwithstanding_o his_o impenitency_n and_o infidelity_n promise_v to_o himself_o impunity_n but_o when_o as_o a_o man_n apply_v the_o threaten_n after_o this_o manner_n to_o himself_o if_o this_o be_v true_a as_o i_o unsained_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v the_o undoubted_a word_n of_o god_n that_o every_o one_o be_v in_o himself_o accurse_a and_o subject_a to_o 10._o eternal_a death_n and_o
