the_o major_a of_o all_o these_o three_o argument_n be_v further_o prove_v thus_o no_o man_n be_v profess_o a_o christian_n that_o profess_v not_o to_o accept_v of_o christ_n as_o christ_n or_o to_o

from_o these_o essential_n relate_v to_o we_o and_o accept_v by_o we_o do_v our_o own_o denomination_n of_o christian_n arise_v and_o that_o a_o bare_a assent_n without_o acceptance_n do_v not_o
