as_o saint_n paul_n witness_v no_o man_n can_v say_v the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n no_o man_n speak_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v call_v jesus_n sect._n 1._o cor._n 12._o sect._n execrable_a nor_o speak_v evil_a of_o he_o nor_o blaspheme_v he_o wherefore_o for_o a_o full_a conclusion_n if_o we_o will_v of_o right_o be_v count_v christian_n before_o god_n &_o before_o his_o elect_a and_o his_o church_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o lay_v this_o foundation_n that_o as_o it_o be_v requisite_a to_o have_v a_o true_a faith_n plant_v in_o heart_n to_o be_v

own_o brain_n but_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o christian_n be_v not_o only_o as_o a_o speculative_a knowledge_n without_o fall_v to_o action_n &_o put_v nothing_o to_o effect_v for_o it_o can_v be_v in_o no_o place_n wtout_fw-fr show_v itself_o it_o fare_v so_o with_o it_o as_o jeremie_n witness_v that_o he_o have_v prove_v it_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o he_o willing_o sometime_o have_v

the_o flane_n light_n and_o heat_n or_o at_o the_o least_o some_o little_a smoke_n will_v show_v forth_o for_o when_o as_o faith_n be_v almost_o whole_o extinguish_v &_o yet_o there_o remain_v some_o
