man_n have_v sufficient_a grace_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o salvation_n if_o they_o improve_v their_o talon_n that_o be_v nature_n and_o what_o help_v they_o have_v as_o they_o shall_v do_v hence_o the_o first_o quaker_n be_v arminian_o form_v this_o into_o other_o word_n but_o the_o same_o for_o substance_n that_o there_o be_v a_o sufficient_a light_n in_o all_o man_n that_o if_o they_o do_v but_o heed_n it_o will_v bring_v they_o to_o salvation_n and_o so_o arminianism_n be_v the_o fundamental_a point_n of_o that_o sect._n i_o say_v also_o in_o my_o second_o letter_n that_o a_o good_a

what_o popery_n be_v i_o will_v maintain_v what_o this_o divine_a say_v thus_o though_o the_o papist_n hold_v many_o other_o error_n yet_o the_o life_n and_o soul_n of_o popery_n be_v their_o

for_o sin_n by_o his_o death_n they_o look_v to_o be_v reconcile_v and_o purge_v by_o their_o own_o merit_n and_o think_v that_o faith_n alone_o in_o that_o propitiation_n and_o purgation_n by_o the_o

such_o good_a work_n as_o be_v appoint_v in_o the_o word_n be_v not_o sufficient_o meritorious_a they_o have_v invent_v many_o superstition_n observation_n and_o then_o lest_o all_o shall_v fail_v
