may_v soon_o deceive_v himself_o and_o think_v in_o his_o own_o fantasy_n that_o he_o by_o faith_n know_v god_n love_v he_o fear_v he_o and_o belong_v to_o he_o when_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o do_v

hereby_o we_o manif_n st_o know_v the_o child_n of_o god_n from_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n he_o that_o do_v not_o righteous_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o god_n nor_o he_o that_o hate_v his_o

that_o we_o can_v trust_v to_o the_o world_n and_o all_o that_o be_v therein_o be_v but_o vanity_n it_o be_v god_n that_o must_v be_v our_o defence_n and_o protection_n against_o all_o temptation_n

therefore_o let_v we_o set_v our_o whole_a faith_n and_o trust_n in_o god_n and_o neither_o the_o world_n the_o devil_n nor_o all_o the_o power_n of_o they_o shall_v prevail_v against_o we_o let_v we_o therefore_o good_a christian_a poople_n try_v and_o examine_v our_o faith_n what_o it_o be_v let_v we_o not_o flatter_v ourselves_o but_o look_v upon_o our_o work_n and_o so_o judge_v of_o our_o

otherwise_o thy_o faith_n be_v without_o good_a work_v be_v but_o the_o devil_n faith_n the_o faith_n of_o the_o wicked_a a_o fantasy_n of_o faith_n and_o not_o a_o true_a christian_n faith_n and_o like_v as_o the_o devil_n and_o evil_a people_n be_v nothing_o the_o better_a for_o their_o counterfeit_a faith_n but_o it_o be_v unto_o they_o the_o more_o cause_n of_o damnation_n so_o they_o that_o

the_o fruit_n that_o do_v belong_v to_o such_o a_o high_a profession_n upon_o such_o presumptuous_a person_n and_o wilful_a sinner_n must_v needs_o remain_v the_o great_a vengeance_n of_o god_n and_o eternal_a punishment_n in_o hell_n prepare_v for_o the_o unjust_a and_o wicked_a liver_n therefore_o as_o you_o profess_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n good_a christian_a people_n let_v no_o such_o fantasy_n and_o imagination_n of_o faith_n at_o any_o time_n beguile_v you_o but_o be_v sure_a of_o your_o faith_n try_v it_o by_o your_o live_n look_v upon_o the_o fruit_n that_o come_v of_o it_o mark_v the_o increase_n of_o love_n and_o charity_n by_o it_o towards_o god_n and_o your_o neighbour_n and_o so_o shall_v you_o perceive_v it_o to_o be_v a_o true_a lively_a faith_n if_o you_o feel_v

so_o shall_v you_o when_o his_o will_n be_v come_v to_o he_o and_o receive_v the_o end_n and_o final_a reward_n of_o your_o faith_n as_o st._n peter_n name_v it_o the_o salvation_n of_o your_o soul_n 1._o 1_o pet._n 1._o the_o which_o god_n grant_v we_o that_o have_v promise_v the_o same_o unto_o his_o faithful_a to_o who_o be_v all_o honour_n and_o glory_n world_n without_o end_n amen_n a_o

pleasure_n and_o consolation_n but_o the_o unmerciful_a rich_a man_n descend_v down_o into_o hell_n and_o be_v in_o torment_n he_o cry_v for_o comfort_n complain_v of_o the_o intolerable_a pain_n that_o he_o suffer_v in_o that_o flame_n of_o fire_n but_o it_o be_v too_o late_o so_o unto_o this_o place_n bodily_a death_n send_v all_o they_o that_o in_o this_o world_n have_v their_o joy_n and_o

wherefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o the_o worldly_a man_n fear_v death_n for_o he_o have_v much_o more_o cause_n so_o to_o do_v than_o he_o himself_o do_v consider_v thus_o we_o see_v three_o cause_n why_o worldly_a man_n fear_v death_n one_o first_o the_o first_o because_o they_o shall_v lose_v thereby_o their_o worldly_a honour_n riches_n possession_n and_o all_o their_o heart_n desire_n

the_o chief_a cause_n above_o all_o other_o be_v the_o dread_n of_o the_o miserable_a state_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n which_o they_o fear_v shall_v follow_v after_o
