to_o receive_v the_o benefit_n thereof_o be_v to_o be_v seek_v out_o and_o take_v from_o the_o scripture_n 4._o that_o because_o many_o thing_n of_o importance_n concern_v this_o doctrine_n be_v to_o

that_o he_o will_v pardon_v you_o if_o you_o believe_v and_z and_o repent_v 3._o that_o the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n pardon_v your_o sin_n be_v at_o present_a but_o imperfect_o and_o inchoate_o
