to_o a_o thorough_a conversion_n so_o that_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mention_v in_o that_o text_n may_v be_v very_o apt_o compare_v to_o the_o leaven_n in_o the_o parable_n mat._n

to_o forgive_v not_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v those_o only_a that_o confess_v and_o forsake_v that_o shall_v find_v mercy_n then_o again_o how_o often_o be_v we_o scofft_fw-mi and_o mock_v at_o

which_o they_o themselves_o can_v deny_v to_o be_v infallible_a and_o as_o man_n be_v govern_v by_o that_o spirit_n he_o will_v infallible_o be_v lead_v out_o of_o all_o that_o which_o be_v fallible_a and_o erroneous_a both_o in_o faith_n and_o life_n yea_o they_o themselves_o will_v i_o hope_v allow_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o infallible_a rule_n and_o if_o so_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n
