and_o the_o christian_n from_o all_o other_o people_n b._n m._n but_o see_v that_o the_o faith_n be_v in_o the_o heart_n whereby_o man_n believe_v to_o justification_n how_o can_v it_o distinguish_v the_o religion_n p._n i_o do_v not_o here_o speak_v propre_o of_o the_o distinction_n which_o be_v make_v by_o the_o outward_a confession_n which_o man_n make_v but_o of_o that_o which_o lie_v in_o the_o true_a foundation_n and_o in_o the_o proper_a substance_n of_o the_o religion_n which_o have_v his_o only_a foundation_n in_o god_n and_o in_o his_o word_n a_o albeit_o that_o under_o the_o

jesus_n christ_n be_v no_o true_a religion_n but_o false_a p._n if_o religion_n may_v be_v religion_n without_o have_v a_o god_n which_o be_v honour_v thereby_o they_o may_v be_v account_v for_o religion_n and_o not_o otherwise_o m._n why_o say_v thou_o so_o p._n forsomuch_o as_o there_o be_v no_o true_a god_n but_o only_o he_o which_o have_v show_v himself_o in_o jesus_n christ_n d_o no_o

p._n that_o see_v that_o god_n can_v not_o be_v know_v such_o as_o he_o be_v but_o in_o jesus_n christ_n who_o soever_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v he_o in_o jesus_n christ_n know_v he_o not_o at_o all_o wherefore_o he_o forge_v to_o himself_o a_o other_o god_n than_o the_o true_a god._n m._n in_o what_o sort_n do_v he_o forge_v he_o p._n in_o so_o much_o as_o he_o make_v and_o pourtrait_v god_n not_o
