to_o have_v know_v it_o and_o not_o to_o practice_v it_o though_o both_o be_v evil_a because_o all_o christian_n be_v oblige_v to_o know_v the_o gospel_n for_o we_o can_v without_o gild_n be_v

you_o ought_v first_o to_o have_v overcome_v all_o human_a regard_v which_o you_o have_v not_o yet_o do_v likewise_o you_o must_v have_v the_o courage_n to_o expose_v your_o life_n for_o this_o

this_o decalogue_n that_o they_o may_v discover_v their_o sin_n and_o abstain_v from_o they_o in_o time_n come_v for_o before_o these_o sin_n god_n never_o give_v any_o other_o law_n to_o man_n but_o this_o of_o resign_v his_o will_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o that_o he_o who_o shall_v abstain_v from_o commit_v the_o sin_n contain_v in_o the_o decalogue_n shall_v not_o be_v save_v if_o

into_o any_o error_n by_o this_o doctrine_n but_o it_o be_v also_o very_o good_a that_o after_o we_o have_v quit_v our_o dependence_n god_n give_v we_o the_o ten_o commandment_n that_o by_o their_o

as_o necessary_a mean_n to_o be_v resign_v to_o he_o this_o have_v be_v a_o desirable_a thing_n for_o by_o show_v that_o whosoever_o be_v resign_v to_o god_n do_v not_o kill_v nor_o steal_v nor_o do_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o righteousness_n goodness_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n they_o will_v discover_v to_o all_o those_o who_o do_v commit_v such_o thing_n that_o they_o forsake_v their_o
