you_o may_v have_v the_o great_a hope_n to_o make_v they_o papist_n ii_o what_o wonder_n be_v it_o that_o you_o that_o be_v no_o better_o a_o puritan_n than_o you_o describe_v be_v turn_v papist_n you_o that_o profess_v you_o be_v a_o puritan_n must_v needs_o be_v judge_v to_o tell_v we_o what_o a_o one_o you_o be_v yourself_o when_o you_o tell_v we_o what_o they_o be_v alas_o poor_a man_n

save_v without_o love_n and_o good_a work_n be_v you_o delude_v by_o such_o antinomian_a conceit_n as_o you_o describe_v and_o take_v that_o for_o puritanisme_n how_o else_o do_v you_o quiet_a your_o

leave_v to_o repeat_v what_o i_o have_v oft_o write_v what_o wonder_n be_v it_o at_o any_o man_n turn_v papist_n when_o according_a to_o your_o own_o principle_n no_o protestant_n puritan_n or_o

be_v not_o this_o your_o case_n for_o 1._o you_o affirm_v that_o all_o man_n that_o have_v true_a prevalent_a love_n to_o god_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o have_v right_a to_o salvation_n

god_n but_o you_o know_v that_o in_o our_o christian_a covenant_n and_o profession_n we_o all_o take_v god_n for_o our_o god_n the_o infinite_a and_o most_o amiable_a good_a our_o father_n in_o

the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o that_o you_o may_v be_v save_v 2_o thes_n 2._o and_o note_v here_o that_o if_o any_o man_n know_v that_o he_o true_o love_v god_n and_o goodness_n you_o
