the_o necessity_n of_o believe_v this_o be_v evidence_v by_o the_o sad_a consequence_n of_o the_o contrary_a for_o deny_v christ_n jesus_n to_o be_v a_o fleshly_a substance_n and_o convert_v he_o into_o a_o spirit_n any_o spirit_n or_o every_o spirit_n and_o so_o in_o truth_n deny_v the_o christ_n of_o god_n and_o then_o blind_a injudicious_a man_n may_v form_v to_o themselves_o and_o world_n what_o they_o will_v fancy_v to_o call_v their_o christ_n this_o premise_a i_o shall_v now_o speak_v of_o offence_n what_o they_o be_v and_o what_o offence_n be_v not_o to_o hinder_v there_o be_v
