god_n set_v down_o the_o text_n of_o scripture_n and_o reveal_v the_o same_o to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n he_o confirm_v it_o by_o his_o work_n from_o heaven_n by_o miracle_n which_o do_v convince_v

of_o the_o spirit_n the_o work_n and_o the_o word_n of_o the_o spirit_n go_v together_o nay_o so_o evident_a be_v this_o that_o the_o doctor_n have_v seek_v to_o establish_v this_o revelation_n of_o

spirit_n do_v give_v man_n to_o credit_v what_o he_o speak_v his_o meaning_n i_o conceive_v to_o be_v that_o by_o this_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n by_o which_o man_n heart_n be_v frame_v to_o

q._n d._n if_o when_o god_n have_v speak_v man_n will_v not_o sit_v down_o with_o god_n bare_a word_n but_o seek_v for_o sign_n and_o mark_n draw_v from_o his_o own_o work_n this_o man_n have_v make_v god_n a_o liar_n the_o sum_n of_o all_o return_n to_o this_o that_o this_o act_n of_o faith_n receive_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v when_o the_o soul_n do_v rest_n in_o it_o without_o any_o far_o doubt_v that_o this_o i_o say_v be_v the_o evidence_n of_o our_o adoption_n and_o justification_n so_o then_o ask_v he_o how_o do_v you_o know_v that_o sin_n be_v pardon_v his_o

he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptise_v shall_v be_v save_v have_v he_o well_o mark_v it_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o add_v by_o baptism_n to_o complete_a the_o state_n of_o a_o christian_a why_o be_v it_o enjoin_v i_o demand_v whether_o a_o believer_n suppose_v he_o to_o live_v and_o die_v in_o the_o wilful_a neglect_n of_o that_o sacrament_n can_v be_v save_v nay_o more_o suppose_v he_o to_o

to_o wash_v in_o respect_n of_o conversation_n by_o which_o it_o seem_v that_o there_o be_v no_o far_a use_n of_o baptism_n to_o paul_n at_o this_o time_n save_v only_o to_o manifest_v to_o the_o

still_o insist_v upon_o this_o whether_o contrition_n be_v not_o require_v of_o believer_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o well_o as_o of_o they_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n to_o make_v they_o capable_a of_o remission_n if_o not_o what_o be_v there_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o answer_v to_o that_o figure_n i_o find_v it_o intersert_v in_o a_o parenthesis_n that_o priest_n sacrifice_n and_o people_n be_v all_o of_o they_o figure_n of_o christ_n what_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v i_o can_v guess_v except_o it_o be_v this_o that_o christ_n must_v be_v all_o and_o do_v
