honour_n of_o our_o saviour_n if_o ever_o we_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v by_o he_o he_o that_o deny_v i_o before_o man_n say_v christ_n himself_n he_o will_v i_o deny_v before_o my_o father_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n now_o to_o disow_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o to_o refuse_v to_o appear_v in_o the_o defence_n of_o they_o when_o call_v in_o question_n be_v indeed_o no_o better_a

interest_n of_o all_o that_o be_v call_v christian_n to_o be_v zealous_a for_o the_o honour_n of_o christ_n to_o vindicate_v his_o truth_n and_o to_o adorn_v his_o doctrine_n with_o a_o holy_a
