as_o if_o themselves_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v what_o christ_n do_v all_o these_o i_o affirm_v page_n 39_o 40._o can_v any_o thing_n say_v mr._n williams_n be_v more_o contrary_a they_o say_v i_o

not_o what_o imputation_n be_v or_o he_o seek_v to_o overthrow_v it_o in_o a_o protestant_a sense_n the_o objector_n fair_o gather_v up_o the_o natural_a sense_n of_o his_o word_n but_o be_v not_o

in_o judgement_n and_o after_o all_o that_o mr._n chancey_n and_o mr._n lob_n have_v say_v to_o prove_v that_o he_o do_v not_o hold_v any_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n but_o only_o in_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o if_o he_o will_v still_o hide_v himself_o in_o the_o thicket_n of_o cloudy_a doubtful_a expression_n that_o he_o may_v beguile_v the_o common_a people_n in_o seem_v to_o
