necessity_n of_o faith_n and_o regeneration_n sort_n these_o be_v not_o only_o averse_a to_o all_o humane_a innovation_n and_o tradition_n of_o man_n and_o so_o contend_v for_o god_n holy_a

this_o further_a aggravate_v their_o sin_n and_o misery_n for_o whilst_o open_o profane_a and_o not_o pretend_v to_o religion_n and_o godliness_n they_o can_v not_o injure_v the_o name_n of_o god_n

be_v stop_v and_o the_o whole_a world_n become_v guilty_a before_o god_n it_o be_v evident_a as_o god_n will_v not_o forgive_v a_o impenitent_a person_n so_o he_o will_v not_o forgive_v the_o penitent_a except_o they_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o sake_n or_o worth_n of_o repentance_n that_o god_n forgive_v any_o man_n the_o penitent_a as_o well_o as_o the_o

will_v not_o do_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n and_o by_o any_o thing_n we_o can_v do_v no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v if_o man_n believe_v not_o on_o christ_n let_v they_o be_v what_o

never_o come_v to_o shed_v his_o precious_a blood_n i_o remember_v some_o year_n ago_o i_o hear_v of_o a_o man_n who_o lie_v on_o his_o deathbed_n when_o a_o godly_a person_n desire_v he_o to_o look_v
