avail_v not_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n if_o thou_o believe_v not_o in_o he_o as_o he_o be_v crucify_v &_o dead_a and_o this_o not_o enough_o to_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v crucify_v and_o dead_a except_o thou_o with_o a_o steadfast_a faith_n believe_v that_o he_o be_v crucify_v and_o dead_a for_o thy_o sin_n the_o devil_n know_v he_o be_v crucify_v he_o see_v he_o crucify_v and_o no_o doubt_n he_o be_v present_a at_o the_o crucify_a of_o he_o for_o he_o be_v the_o burrior_n of_o god_n to_o he_o at_o his_o crucify_a yet_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n crucify_v do_v he_o no_o good_a but_o evil_a because_o he_o believe_v not_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o his_o sin_n and_o he_o can_v believe_v because_o he_o his_fw-mi no_o faith_n so_o the_o first_o ground_n be_v faith_n in_o christ_n crucify_v and_o that_o he_o die_v for_o thou_o yet_o believe_v more_o he_o say_v and_o rise_v again_o thou_o must_v believe_v as_o ever_o thou_o will_v rise_v in_o the_o last_o day_n that_o christ_n be_v raise_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n to_o the_o heaven_n and_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o believe_v that_o he_o rise_v the_o devil_n believe_v that_o he_o rise_v again_o but_o believe_v he_o rise_v for_o thou_o for_o thy_o justification_n for_o thy_o salvation_n as_o paul_n affirm_v rom._n 4._o 25_o then_o this_o be_v our_o faith_n in_o christ_n where-upon_a our_o resurrection_n be_v

second_o ground_n be_v nothing_o but_o perseverance_n in_o this_o faith_n in_o christ_n even_o to_o the_o last_o gasp_n and_o breath_n so_o that_o in_o death_n and_o in_o the_o point_n of_o death_n thy_o soul_n take_v hold_v on_o christ_n crucify_v and_o rise_v and_o stick_v by_o he_o in_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o in_o all_o our_o
