pass_v to_o the_o six_o argument_n application_n infer_v 1._o from_o hence_o we_o infer_v that_o those_o man_n who_o affirm_v that_o such_o who_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n beget_v and_o bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n may_v perish_v be_v strange_o becloud_v for_o they_o must_v suppose_v that_o a_o child_n may_v utter_o lose_v the_o nature_n and_o relation_n of_o a_o child_n and_o degenerate_a so_o far_o as_o to_o become_v a_o dog_n a_o swine_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v impossible_a in_o nature_n and_o much_o more_o in_o grace_n for_o as_o none_o but_o the_o almighty_a power_n of_o the_o infinite_a god_n can_v change_v the_o soul_n so_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o diabolical_a power_n to_o turn_v or_o change_v that_o holy_a nature_n again_o and_o that_o not_o only_o because_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o image_n of_o god_n be_v such_o in_o self_n but_o also_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o design_n and_o purpose_n of_o god_n in_o and_o by_o jesus_n christ_n in_o our_o restauration_n that_o be_v such_o that_o it_o can_v be_v lose_v any_o more_o without_o the_o high_a dishonour_n to_o god_n and_o a_o frustration_n of_o his_o eternal_a purpose_n and_o counsel_n which_o be_v to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n if_o any_o shall_v object_v that_o adam_n have_v the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o he_o before_o he_o fall_v and_o lose_v it_o i_o answer_v he_o

also_o therefore_o inform_v all_o believer_n that_o they_o be_v in_o a_o most_o happy_a and_o safe_a condition_n because_o they_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o bring_v by_o grace_n and_o regeneration_n

the_o sacrifice_n be_v over_o yet_o the_o virtue_n and_o excellent_a causality_n of_o it_o remain_v and_o not_o only_o to_o justify_v and_o absolve_v a_o believe_a sinner_n but_o also_o to_o quicken_v

general_a faith_n without_o a_o particular_a application_n of_o the_o promise_n or_o promise_v of_o god_n and_o experience_v the_o effect_n of_o christ_n death_n be_v a_o false_a faith_n and_o

power_n of_o sin_n therefore_o that_o may_v be_v a_o false_a faith_n 3._o that_o faith_n that_o do_v not_o change_v the_o heart_n purify_v the_o heart_n be_v a_o false_a faith_n but_o many_o that_o
