the_o same_o be_v this_o in_o effect_n which_o saint_n peter_n say_v in_o this_o place_n for_o it_o be_v asmuch_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v we_o certain_o look_v for_o eternal_a life_n although_o

whatsoever_o christ_n have_v either_o do_v or_o suffer_v shall_v be_v to_o we_o in_o no_o steed_n and_o therefore_o this_o manner_n of_o teach_v be_v most_o requisite_a behold_v christ_n have_v dye_v

of_o they_o this_o if_o we_o steadfast_o believe_v we_o have_v a_o perfect_a assurance_n and_o full_a possession_n of_o all_o these_o benefit_n which_o be_v each_o way_n impossible_a to_o be_v bring_v
