be_v a_o special_a revelation_n st._n paul_n have_v of_o his_o own_o salvation_n which_o be_v most_o injurious_a to_o the_o whole_a text_n for_o though_o he_o say_v i_o be_o persuade_v as_o speak_v of_o himself_o yet_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o persuasion_n he_o join_v all_o the_o faithful_a as_o that_o nothing_o can_v separate_v u_fw-mi 35._o v._o 39_o &_o so_o v._n 35._o v._n 39_o speak_v

all_o the_o faithful_a therefore_o it_o be_v a_o poor_a shift_n of_o the_o papist_n to_o say_v st._n paul_n have_v this_o certain_a persuasion_n of_o god_n love_n to_o he_o in_o christ_n by_o special_a revelation_n for_o such_o thing_n as_o he_o have_v by_o revelation_n 2_o cor._n 12._o 4._o they_o be_v ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d thing_n not_o to_o be_v speak_v but_o this_o persuasion_n of_o his_o he_o utter_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v none_o of_o those_o secret_n which_o he_o have_v by_o special_a revelation_n they_o say_v again_o the_o word_n ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d signify_v only_o a_o conjectural_a persuasion_n but_o this_o be_v contrary_n to_o themselves_o for_o they_o say_v he_o be_v certain_o persuade_v of_o god_n love_n by_o revelation_n again_o the_o word_n indeed_o sometime_o signify_v a_o persuasion_n of_o charity_n touch_v other_o particular_a person_n and_o then_o it_o be_v not_o so_o certain_a but_o when_o it_o be_v use_v of_o a_o man_n self_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v then_o a_o persuasion_n of_o faith_n and_o most_o certain_a and_o so_o it_o be_v here_o use_v by_o the_o apostle_n 2._o this_o assurance_n may_v be_v attain_v to_o because_o a_o christian_a may_v be_v certain_a of_o the_o promise_n therefore_o of_o the_o undeniable_a conclusion_n from_o they_o a_o christian_a may_v be_v certain_a of_o both_o promise_n first_o he_o may_v be_v certain_a that_o who_o god_n love_v with_o a_o special_a and_o a_o everlasting_a love_n shall_v be_v save_v that_o whoever_o be_v in_o christ_n shall_v be_v save_v for_o he_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o his_o body_n that_o whoever_o believe_v shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n that_o whoever_o love_v christ_n in_o sincerity_n shall_v be_v glorify_v for_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v what_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o they_o that_o love_v he_o this_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o this_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o second_o as_o a_o christian_a may_v know_v that_o whosoever_o be_v in_o god_n love_n be_v in_o christ_n be_v a_o believer_n shall_v be_v save_v so_o he_o may_v know_v that_o he_o love_v god_n be_v
