and_o *_o i_o say_v that_o to_o a_o christian_a there_o be_v no_o other_o article_n of_o faith_n requisite_a as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o only_o this_o that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n but_o we_o must_v distinguish_v as_o we_o have_v already_o do_v before_o in_o the_o 4._o article_n between_o faith_n and_o profession_n a_o profession_n therefore_o of_o more_o article_n if_o they_o

to_o salvation_n and_o this_o be_v prove_v first_o out_o of_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o evangelist_n which_o be_v by_o the_o description_n of_o our_o saviour_n life_n to_o establish_v this_o one_o article_n and_o we_o shall_v know_v that_o such_o be_v the_o scope_n and_o counsel_n of_o the_o evangelist_n if_o we_o observe_v but_o the_o history_n itself_o saint_n matthew_n beginning_n at_o his_o

whether_o he_o be_v the_o christ_n or_o not_o to_o tell_v he_o what_o they_o have_v see_v namely_o the_o miracle_n which_o be_v only_o compatible_a with_o christ_n chap._n 11._o that_o he_o prove_v

may_v possible_o be_v distasteful_a to_o many_o divine_n first_o therefore_o when_o i_o say_v this_o article_n that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n i_o say_v not_o that_o faith_n only_o be_v necessary_a but_o i_o require_v justice_n also_o or_o that_o obedience_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o will_n to_o live_v righteous_o second_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o the_o profession_n of_o many_o article_n provide_v that_o that_o profession_n be_v command_v by_o the_o church_n be_v also_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o see_v faith_n be_v internal_a profession_n external_a i_o say_v that_o the_o former_a only_o be_v proper_o faith_n the_o latter_a a_o part_n of_o obedience_n insomuch_o as_o that_o article_n
