that_o christ_n be_v preach_v to_o we_o by_o the_o gospel_n be_v receive_v not_o by_o work_n but_o by_o faith_n and_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v by_o divine_a testimony_n so_o declare_v this_o matter_n of_o importance_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v need_v hereafter_o either_o to_o doubt_n or_o waver_v in_o the_o same_o to_o all_o this_o now_o i_o add_v this_o note_n still_o most_o necessary_a to_o be_v

among_o all_o other_o for_o these_o especial_o which_o follow_v hereafter_o first_o of_o all_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o christ_n the_o often_o repeat_v doctrine_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o in_o his_o only_a son_n do_v through_o faith_n alone_o work_v justification_n be_v by_o so_o many_o divine_a testimony_n even_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n by_o so_o many_o

sincere_a sort_n fear_n of_o god_n for_o we_o confess_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n sincere_a and_o unsincere_a the_o sincere_a fear_n of_o god_n be_v perceive_v in_o the_o
