not_o distinguish_v about_o precept_n between_o shadowy_a and_o substantial_a temporary_a and_o eternal_a legal_a and_o gospel_n 3._o that_o he_o be_v not_o this_o christian_n because_o he_o do_v

and_o intercessor_n that_o the_o scripture_n contain_v godly_a precept_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v believe_v &_o obey_v yea_o that_o the_o

fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v therein_o express_v &_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a day_n of_o general_a judgement_n to_o eternal_a felicity_n or_o misery_n according_a
