righteousness_n of_o we_o but_o of_o his_o own_o free_a mercy_n offer_v up_o himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o we_o sinner_n that_o he_o may_v sanctify_v we_o for_o ever_o christ_n then_o be_v no_o

and_o goodness_n free_o give_v and_o bountiful_o give_v unto_o we_o and_o thus_o shall_v you_o paint_v out_o christ_n in_o his_o right_a colour_n if_o you_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v paint_v out_o to_o you_o any_o otherwise_o then_o thus_o when_o tentation_n and_o trouble_n come_v you_o shall_v soon_o be_v overthrow_v right_o now_o as_o it_o be_v the_o great_a knowledge_n and_o cunning_a that_o

that_o christ_n be_v a_o lawgiver_n enter_v in_o i_o even_o as_o it_o be_v oil_n into_o my_o bone_n you_o young_a man_n therefore_o be_v in_o this_o case_n much_o more_o happy_a than_o we_o that_o

a_o judge_n for_o it_o often_o return_v and_o pluck_v i_o back_o then_o to_o plant_v in_o my_o heart_n a_o new_a &_o a_o true_a persuasion_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v a_o justifier_n &_o a_o saviour_n you_o i_o say_v that_o be_v young_a may_v learn_v with_o much_o less_o difficulty_n to_o know_v christ_n pure_o and_o sincere_o if_o you_o will._n wherefore_o if_o any_o man_n feel_v himself_o oppress_v with_o heaviness_n and_o anguish_n of_o heart_n he_o must_v not_o impute_v it_o unto_o christ_n although_o it_o come_v under_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n but_o unto_o the_o devil_n who_o oftentimes_o come_v under_o the_o colour_n of_o christ_n and_o transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n let_v we_o learn_v therefore_o to_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o christ_n and_o a_o lawgiver_n not_o only_o in_o word_n but_o in_o practice_n &_o in_o deed_n also_o that_o when_o the_o devil_n shall_v come_v under_o the_o shadow_n of_o christ_n &_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o
