true_a faith_n to_o believe_v in_o christ_n to_o come_v before_o he_o be_v come_v so_o it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a faith_n but_o a_o great_a mistake_n or_o error_n at_o least_o though_o pardonable_a to_o believe_v in_o christ_n to_o come_v in_o flesh_n when_o the_o true_a christ_n be_v already_o come_v for_o their_o faith_n can_v not_o be_v the_o true_a faith_n which_o have_v not_o the_o true_a object_n for_o to_o believe_v in_o a_o christ_n yet_o to_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v a_o false_a faith_n such_o as_o the_o faith_n be_v of_o those_o harden_a jew_n who_o general_o believe_v not_o in_o christ_n who_o be_v already_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o in_o a_o christ_n or_o messiah_n who_o they_o imagine_v yet_o to_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o before_o that_o peter_n preach_v to_o cornelius_n christ_n be_v crucify_v and_o raise_v again_o and_o see_v you_o grant_v cornelius_n have_v not_o faith_n in_o christ_n crucify_v until_o peter_n preach_v unto_o he_o and_o yet_o be_v
