do_v justify_v see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o text_n in_o the_o gospel_n which_o do_v manifest_o beat_v down_o this_o their_o opinion_n and_o i_o wonder_v much_o more_o at_o ourselves_o that_o none_o of_o we_o heretofore_o can_v find_v it_o out_o for_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o have_v long_o since_o shut_v up_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o the_o lutheran_n and_o constrain_v they_o to_o magnify_v good_a

apostle_n be_v in_o a_o ship_n toss_v with_o a_o tempest_n jesus_n christ_n appear_v unto_o they_o on_o the_o wave_n and_o that_o s._n peter_n who_o be_v then_o a_o lutheran_n believe_v that_o faith_n alone_o be_v sufficient_a to_o save_v he_o say_v unto_o christ_n bid_v i_o come_v unto_o thou_o on_o the_o water_n and_o that_o after_o christ_n have_v command_v he_o to_o come_v he_o leap_v into_o the_o sea_n with_o his_o faith_n and_o be_v almost_o drown_v yea_o he_o have_v be_v drown_v in_o deed_n if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o miraculous_o aid_v he_o and_o place_v he_o again_o in_o the_o
