therefore_o man_n may_v have_v a_o beginning_n of_o true_a faith_n and_o of_o a_o true_a work_n of_o salvation_n begin_v in_o they_o when_o the_o mystery_n of_o christ_n crucify_v and_o raise_v

the_o gospel_n before_o he_o suffer_v death_n he_o will_v have_v give_v they_o a_o express_a commission_n to_o preach_v it_o to_o all_o people_n how_o he_o be_v to_o be_v crucify_v and_o raise_v

the_o mount_n not_o one_o title_n or_o word_n do_v he_o mention_v of_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n express_o but_o he_o teach_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o expound_v the_o spirituality_n of_o the_o law_n in_o its_o extent_n far_o beyond_o the_o reach_n and_o conception_n which_o the_o people_n have_v of_o it_o at_o that_o time_n and_o withal_o drop_v some_o

be_v very_o safe_o conclude_v that_o the_o express_a knowledge_n and_o faith_n of_o christ_n crucify_v be_v not_o of_o absolute_a and_o indispensible_a necessity_n especial_o where_o it_o have_v not_o

require_v man_n to_o know_v he_o as_o he_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o die_v and_o rise_v again_o which_o be_v that_o great_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n as_o paul_n call_v it_o 1_o tim._n 3.16_o

scripture_n will_v not_o have_v say_v work_v out_o your_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_v and_o if_o you_o through_o the_o spirit_n do_v mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n you_o
