of_o god_n our_o saviour_n who_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v &_o to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o truth_n whereby_o the_o holy_a apostle_n understand_v none_o other_o

have_v we_o to_o take_v it_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v fain_o to_o confess_v that_o god_n do_v against_o his_o own_o will_n and_o appointment_n when_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v his_o word_n to_o be_v

that_o our_o brother_n philalethes_n say_v must_v neade_n to_o be_v most_o true_a for_o since_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o only_a mean_a for_o to_o come_v to_o salvation_n for_o by_o it_o only_o do_v we_o take_v hold_v upon_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o that_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v x._o rom._n x._o and_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n when_o god_n do_v keep_v his_o word_n and_o gospel_n from_o any_o nation_n &_o people_n it_o be_v a_o plain_a token_n &_o sign_n that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v that_o people_n to_o be_v save_v nor_o yet_o to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o truth_n how_o shall_v then_o the_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n stand_v if_o we_o shall_v take_v it_o as_o they_o do_v therefore_o this_o must_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o god_n
