of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n worthy_a consideration_n on_o this_o manner_n there_o be_v a_o threefold_a certainty_n the_o first_o be_v certainty_n of_o reason_n or_o of_o general_a

of_o the_o bible_n which_o also_o faith_n conclude_v on_o this_o manner_n that_o doctrine_n which_o assure_v we_o to_o be_v god_n child_n be_v certain_o of_o god_n but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o

upon_o a_o inward_a assurance_n of_o our_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n of_o this_o certainty_n our_o saviour_n christ_n speak_v notable_o if_o any_o man_n will_v do_v my_o father_n will_n 7.17_o
