the_o same_o grace_n which_o the_o promise_n do_v therefore_o none_o can_v be_v bind_v to_o lessthan_fw-ge to_o believe_v that_o god_n of_o his_o mercy_n will_v pardon_v sin_n and_o save_v penitent_a

that_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o victorious_a seed_n though_o it_o seem_v too_o obscure_a to_o bind_v man_n to_o so_o distinct_a a_o faith_n as_o we_o be_v be_v by_o tradition_n tell_v to_o adam_n

of_o which_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o anon_o hitherto_o than_o i_o have_v vindicate_v the_o christian_a doctrine_n of_o man_n salvation_n for_o the_o first_o 4000_o year_n second_o and_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n since_o which_o shall_v make_v it_o more_o offensive_a to_o you_o first_o as_o to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n i_o have_v say_v enough_o in_o my_o treatise_n the_o reason_n of_o christian_a religion_n very_o i_o think_v it_o far_o hard_a to_o confute_v those_o that_o feign_v all_o the_o world_n to_o be_v animate_v by_o god_n as_o the_o universal_a soul_n and_o to_o conceive_v how_o god_n who_o be_v most_o intimate_a to_o all_o thing_n in_o who_o we_o live_v and_o move_v and_o be_v shall_v not_o be_v as_o near_o unite_v to_o all_o thing_n as_o christian_n

second_o and_o as_o to_o christ_n work_n i_o have_v so_o large_o show_v you_o the_o necessity_n the_o reasonableness_n and_o the_o harmonical_a congruity_n that_o i_o will_v not_o repeat_v they_o in_o

be_v then_o to_o say_v that_o our_o repentance_n be_v sufficient_a without_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o merit_n and_o intercession_n and_o administration_n which_o do_v procure_v and_o behow_v it_o how_o

of_o the_o thing_n do_v prove_v it_o because_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o secure_v the_o end_n of_o government_n shall_v such_o a_o law_n alone_o be_v make_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v forgive_v all_o the_o villainy_n of_o their_o life_n if_o they_o will_v but_o repent_v at_o last_o first_o it_o will_v encourage_v the_o most_o in_o the_o world_n to_o live_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o
