cold_a conjecture_n now_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o infallible_a verity_n will_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v build_v the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n upon_o conjecture_n but_o upon_o the_o

for_o we_o must_v first_o declare_v what_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v necessary_a unto_o salvation_n and_o how_o it_o have_v be_v always_o preach_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n among_o all_o people_n &_o nation_n and_o how_o it_o have_v be_v sufficient_o manifest_v unto_o the_o elect_a for_o their_o salvation_n &_o to_o the_o reprobate_n for_o their_o condemnation_n insomuch_o that_o they_o be_v all_o inexcusable_a &_o they_o can_v allege_v ignorance_n sufficient_a for_o to_o excuse_v they_o and_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a that_o they_o have_v any_o more_o preach_v after_o this_o life_n but_o i_o have_v rather_o that_o we_o will_v omit_v and_o leave_v off_o that_o matter_n until_o a_o other_o time_n that_o we_o may_v speak_v more_o ample_o of_o it_o and_o better_a to_o satisfy_v the_o question_n which_o be_v make_v daily_o touch_v the_o salvation_n or_o damnation_n of_o our_o predecessor_n which_o have_v live_v in_o error_n and_o ignorance_n yet_o nevertheless_o because_o that_o the_o place_n which_o we_o have_v accustom_v to_o allege_v for_o y_fw-es preach_v to_o the_o dead_a may_v also_o serve_v to_o the_o matter_n at_o this_o present_a

in_o like_a manner_n to_o which_o the_o other_o will_v make_v they_o serve_v but_o for_o that_o that_o it_o may_v be_v that_o eusebus_n do_v put_v they_o forth_o amongst_o his_o defence_n it_o be_v

put_v i_o in_o remembrance_n thomas_n yet_o nevertheless_o before_o that_o eusebius_n pursue_v the_o other_o place_n that_o he_o have_v determine_v to_o put_v forth_o or_o open_v i_o will_v propound_v unto_o he_o a_o argument_n concern_v the_o point_n of_o which_o we_o have_v entreat_v off_o that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o remission_n &_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o other_o world_n whereupon_o i_o demand_v of_o thou_o eusebius_n when_o jesus_n christ_n do_v give_v the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n unto_o his_o church_n as_o well_o in_o you_o person_n of_o s._n
