a_o true_a copy_n of_o the_o speech_n of_o mr._n francis_n johnston_n alias_o dormore_n alias_o webb_n alias_o wall_n a_o priest_z of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o be_v convict_v before_o mr._n

the_o merit_n of_o his_o son_n christ_n jesus_n ordain_v or_o make_v choice_n of_o three_o virtue_n whereby_o we_o must_v walk_v which_o be_v these_o viz._n faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n first_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o faith_n we_o be_v to_o believe_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v in_o this_o world_n second_o by_o virtue_n of_o hope_n we_o be_v to_o believe_v and_o hope_v for_o all_o thing_n in_o another_o world_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o christian_n do_v believe_v this_o hope_n be_v to_o bring_v and_o conduct_v they_o to_o salvation_n in_o the_o other_o world_n and_o if_o we_o hope_v in_o god_n we_o can_v but_o believe_v god_n for_o with_o the_o mouth_n confession_n be_v make_v but_o with_o the_o heart_n and_o through_o faith_n we_o must_v believe_v unto_o salvation_n so_o that_o faith_n be_v not_o to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n or_o to_o be_v hide_v under_o a_o bushel_n but_o to_o be_v set_v upon_o a_o candlestick_n luke_n the_o 12_o whosoever_o do_v confess_v i_o before_o

bind_v to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o faith_n and_o if_o but_o one_o faith_n then_o but_o one_o christian_n faith_n there_o be_v but_o one_o faith_n one_o lord_n one_o baptism_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o how_o can_v this_o stand_v with_o so_o many_o sectary_n as_o there_o be_v and_o if_o there_o be_v one_o faith_n how_o can_v this_o be_v i_o believe_v the_o creed_n of_o st._n
