express_v you_o see_v to_o assure_v all_o sinner_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n of_o christ_n heart_n towards_o they_o this_o be_v his_o drift_n for_o this_o very_a cause_n say_v paul_n the_o second_o place_n i_o allege_v in_o proof_n of_o this_o be_v the_o story_n of_o paul_n conversion_n where_o he_o diligent_o insert_v the_o very_a word_n that_o christ_n speak_v to_o he_o from_o

to_o open_v their_o eye_n and_o to_o turn_v they_o from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n unto_o god_n that_o they_o may_v receive_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o

unto_o he_o to_o testify_v thus_o much_o this_o for_o paul_n conference_n with_o he_o then_o again_o sixty_o year_n after_o his_o ascension_n do_v the_o apostle_n john_n receive_v a_o revelation_n
