to_o bear_v up_o faith_n if_o he_o be_v not_o eternal_a god_n and_o lord_n equal_a with_o his_o father_n he_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v trust_v and_o curse_a be_v he_o that_o trust_v in_o man_n and_o

man_n that_o come_v to_o christ_n must_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v eternal_a god_n and_o one_o with_o the_o father_n or_o else_o he_o can_v expect_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n satisfaction_n for_o

all_o man_n be_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o so_o like_a to_o be_v lose_v for_o ever_o four_o true_a faith_n must_v come_v to_o christ_n as_o lord_n or_o else_o we_o can_v have_v any_o assurance_n that_o
