that_o christ_n die_v effectual_o for_o every_o man_n if_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n than_o it_o must_v be_v so_o because_o god_n have_v promise_v it_o or_o declare_v it_o or_o foretell_v it_o if_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n because_o promise_v than_o it_o be_v with_o condition_n of_o faith_n for_o though_o the_o very_a promise_n be_v true_a in_o itself_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o perform_v unto_o we_o without_o believe_v the_o same_o promise_n still_o require_v faith_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o and_o then_o this_o will_v not_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n die_v for_o
