difference_n of_o a_o twofold_a respect_n be_v to_o be_v note_v for_o otherwise_o we_o know_v not_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n then_o if_o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o

namely_o while_o he_o cause_v faith_n with_o he_o have_v put_v into_o our_o heart_n to_o appear_v forth_o by_o confession_n yea_o his_o mind_n be_v simple_o to_o note_v which_o be_v true_a faith_n faith_n the_o nature_n of_o a_o true_a faith_n whence_o this_o fruit_n proceed_v lest_o any_o shall_v pretend_v a_o vain_a title_n of_o faith_n for_o it_o for_o true_a faith_n ought_v so_o to_o

they_o see_v what_o they_o can_v answer_v unto_o paul_n who_o at_o this_o day_n proud_o boast_v unto_o we_o a_o imaginary_a faith_n which_o be_v content_a with_o the_o secrecy_n of_o the_o heart_n leave_v out_o confession_n of_o mouth_n as_o a_o superfluous_a thing_n for_o it_o be_v too_o childish_a to_o say_v there_o be_v fire_n there_o where_o there_o be_v neither_o flame_n nor_o heat_n 11_o
