as_o the_o all-just_a god_n therefore_o can_v inflict_v the_o punishment_n or_o purgation_n on_o those_o that_o walk_v as_o pure_a already_o so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o cherish_v this_o little_a

have_v we_o not_o the_o same_o offer_v of_o grace_n and_o as_o fair_a a_o trial_n give_v we_o as_o ever_o they_o have_v for_o shame_v therefore_o let_v we_o serve_v god_n with_o all_o our_o strength_n

dead_a also_o i_o mean_v as_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god._n without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o see_v or_o please_v god_n whereas_o our_o faith_n if_o it_o be_v strong_a it_o must_v

evil_a it_o must_v needs_o draw_v down_o enthusiasm_n and_o delusion_n upon_o we_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v possible_a to_o he_o that_o believe_v mark_v 9.23_o indeed_o he_o say_v have_v we_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o grain_n of_o mustardseed_n we_o may_v at_o a_o word_n remove_v this_o sycamine-tree_n or_o mountain_n and_o cast_v it_o

9.41_o hence_o likewise_o it_o be_v that_o his_o apostle_n after_o he_o when_o they_o have_v their_o faith_n once_o strengthen_v in_o themselves_o to_o move_v it_o in_o other_o tell_v we_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n rom._n 14.23_o so_o also_o that_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o abraham_n for_o righteousness_n rom._n 4.22_o and_o therefore_o to_o use_v their_o argument_n though_o at_o the_o time_n of_o our_o ignorance_n god_n wink_v at_o we_o yet_o now_o he_o expect_v we_o shall_v repent_v act_v 17.30_o and_o remain_v in_o our_o dead_a and_o brutish_a infidelity_n no_o long_o nay_o further_o this_o faith_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v the_o only_a real_a and_o excellent_a faith_n to_o believe_v bare_o in_o christ_n and_o that_o he_o be_v

excellent_a doctrine_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o lead_v good_a life_n be_v to_o follow_v the_o design_n and_o scope_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o be_v that_o active_a faith_n which_o only_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n but_o why_o do_v i_o remain_v on_o the_o brink_n of_o my_o argument_n thus_o have_v not_o christ_n even_o express_o promise_v that_o those_o that_o keep_v his_o say_n shall_v never_o see_v death_n john_n 8.51_o and_o that_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v never_o die_v john_n 11.26_o but_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n unto_o life_n john_n 5.24_o and_o do_v he_o not_o express_o limit_v this_o death_n in_o his_o discourse_n to_o our_o life_n in_o this_o world_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o john_n 6.49_o 50.58_o nay_o have_v he_o not_o promise_v we_o more_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v great_a work_n than_o he_o himself_o have_v do_v and_o real_o whatever_o we_o shall_v ask_v in_o faith_n john_n 14.12_o as_o sin_n therefore_o be_v the_o road_n to_o

and_o death_n james_n 1.15_o and_o follow_v those_o way_n that_o lead_v we_o to_o holiness_n and_o life_n the_o apostle_n that_o can_v not_o get_v out_o of_o prison_n themselves_o yet_o through_o

just_o so_o also_o as_o infant_n and_o newborn_a babe_n god_n be_v merciful_a in_o withdraw_v we_o from_o the_o misery_n of_o life_n beside_o that_o death_n be_v our_o portion_n and_o our_o common_a

when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o age_n of_o discretion_n shall_v not_o through_o faith_n reverse_v the_o curse_n of_o adam_n and_o carry_v we_o first_o back_o again_o into_o the_o spiritual_a paradise_n restore_v we_o to_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n also_o christ_n indeed_o do_v not_o seem_v so_o much_o to_o declare_v such_o a_o immortality_n the_o immediate_a effect_n of_o faith_n as_o miracle_n but_o why_o because_o he_o lead_v his_o disciple_n to_o the_o lesser_a degree_n of_o faith_n first_o and_o instruct_v they_o as_o their_o capacity_n can_v bear_v or_o else_o he_o do_v not_o neglect_v
