concern_v god_n and_o concern_v christ_n but_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n to_o believe_v in_o christ_n to_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n to_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n life_n and_o power_n which_o flow_v from_o jesus_n this_o indeed_o be_v hard_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a darkness_n and_o ignorance_n which_o man_n be_v fall_v into_o through_o transgression_n second_o i_o have_v experience_v this_o also_o that_o faith_n be_v god_n gift_n and_o that_o it_o flow_v from_o the_o power_n of_o his_o life_n there_o be_v first_o a_o quicken_a first_o a_o touch_v

he_o he_o can_v believe_v in_o that_o which_o touch_v and_o quicken_v he_o three_o that_o faith_n never_o stand_v in_o a_o man_n own_o power_n but_o always_o in_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o

four_o i_o have_v observe_v this_o in_o my_o travel_n that_o the_o earthly_a wisdom_n and_o notion_n there_o from_o get_v into_o the_o mind_n and_o hold_v in_o the_o mind_n out_o of_o the_o sense_n
