that_o which_o he_o do_v not_o feel_v for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o mo_z as_o great_o torment_v as_o he_o but_o he_o think_v not_o so_o because_o he_o d●th_v not_o feel_v it_o so_o thus_o do_v you_o deal_v you_o be_v great_o trouble_v with_o the_o weakness_n of_o your_o own_o faith_n which_o you_o feel_v therefore_o according_a to_o your_o feel_n you_o complain_v faith_n many_o dear_a servant_n of_o god_n be_v great_o greeve_v for_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o faith_n that_o none_o have_v so_o weak_a a_o faith_n as_o you_o have_v not_o withstand_v there_o be_v a_o great_a

you_o have_v faith_n and_o therefore_o say_v i_o or_o rather_o the_o lord_n himself_o for_o your_o comfort_n you_o can_v possible_o perish_v for_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n 3.16_o john_n 3.16_o

again_o do_v answer_v you_o with_o a_o better_a warrant_n than_o your_o thought_n that_o a_o weak_a faith_n be_v a_o faith_n yea_o a_o good_a and_o a_o sound_a faith_n the_o weakness_n of_o faith_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o nature_n and_o be_v of_o faith_n that_o because_o there_o be_v weakness_n in_o it_o therefore_o it_o shall_v cease_v to_o be_v a_o faith_n will_v you_o say_v a_o weak_a
