and_o yet_o the_o same_o people_n hold_v no_o other_o gospel_n than_o here_o they_o receive_v except_o they_o make_v their_o lay-eldership_n their_o gospel_n or_o some_o of_o their_o outward_a work_n to_o give_v be_v to_o the_o gospel_n and_o then_o they_o fall_v upon_o the_o rock_n of_o popery_n which_o they_o will_v seem_v to_o sail_v so_o far_o from_o establish_v not_o only_o a_o justification_n with_o god_n by_o faith_n only_o at_o first_o but_o after_o that_o a_o second_o justification_n with_o god_n by_o work_n also_o nor_o indeed_o be_v it_o better_o with_o they_o if_o

the_o romish-church_n since_o the_o first_o plantation_n of_o it_o there_o have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v a_o true_a christian_a people_n hold_v the_o main_a posui_fw-la foundation_n lay_v in_o

as_o some_o schismatic_n make_v it_o but_o in_o the_o profession_n visible_a witness_v not_o only_o many_o their_o justifi_n write_n but_o also_o many_o their_o sermon_n there_o at_o home_n as_o
