deceive_v we_o and_o turn_v religion_n into_o word_n and_o holiness_n into_o hypocrisy_n and_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n into_o a_o snare_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n into_o a_o lie_n for_o

than_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n or_o of_o the_o law_n he_o do_v not_o admit_v we_o to_o a_o covenant_n of_o idleness_n and_o a_o incurious_a walk_n in_o a_o state_n of_o disobedience_n but_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n lead_v we_o to_o repentance_n and_o when_o he_o give_v we_o better_a promise_n he_o intend_v we_o shall_v pay_v he_o a_o better_a obedience_n when_o he_o forgive_v we_o what_o be_v past_a he_o intend_v we_o shall_v sin_v no_o more_o when_o he_o offer_v we_o his_o grace_n he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o when_o he_o cause_v we_o to_o distrust_v

this_o covenant_n of_o faith_n and_o mercy_n be_v also_o a_o covenant_n of_o holiness_n and_o the_o grace_n that_o pardon_v we_o do_v also_o purify_v we_o for_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o that_o

now_o that_o justify_v and_o save_v faith_n must_v be_v define_v by_o something_o more_o than_o a_o act_n of_o understanding_n appear_v not_o only_o in_o this_o that_o s._n peter_n reckon_v faith_n

this_o also_o because_o a_o error_n in_o life_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v against_o holiness_n be_v against_o faith_n and_o therefore_o s._n paul_n reckon_v the_o lawless_a and_o the_o disobedient_a

now_o from_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o faith_n be_v godliness_n because_o all_o wickedness_n be_v infidelity_n it_o be_v a_o apostasy_n from_o the_o faith_n ille_fw-la erit_fw-la ille_fw-la
