unto_o god_n that_o they_o may_v receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o come_v to_o a_o inheritance_n among_o all_o that_o be_v sanctify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o whosoever_o do_v not_o bring_v this_o message_n be_v not_o to_o be_v receive_v for_o it_o be_v the_o same_o gospel_n that_o be_v preach_v unto_o abraham_n and_o in_o which_o he_o believe_v it_o be_v the_o same_o gospel_n that_o be_v preach_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o which_o many_o then_o believe_v and_o what_o they_o have_v hear_v and_o see_v and_o taste_v and_o handle_v of_o the_o word_n of_o life_n that_o they_o declare_v in_o the_o life_n and_o so_o they_o preach_v christ_n jesus_n the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n and_o there_o be_v not_o another_o gospel_n to_o be_v bring_v either_o by_o angel_n or_o man_n but_o they_o that_o bring_v it_o be_v to_o be_v accurse_v for_o the_o apostle_n say_v though_o we_o or_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n preach_v any_o other_o gospel_n unto_o you_o then_o that_o which_o we_o have_v preach_v unto_o you_o let_v he_o be_v accurse_v as_o we_o say_v before_o so_o say_v i_o now_o again_o if_o any_o man_n preach_v any_o other_o gospel_n unto_o you_o then_o that_o you_o have_v receive_v let_v he_o be_v accurse_v but_o i_o certify_v you_o brethren_n that_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v preach_v of_o i_o be_v not_o after_o man_n for_o i_o neither_o receive_v it_o of_o man_n neither_o be_v i_o teach_v it_o but_o by_o the_o revelation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n gal._n 1._o oh_o that_o they_o which_o speak_v of_o themselves_o will_v consider_v this_o who_o know_v no_o more_o of_o the_o gospel_n then_o what_o they_o receive_v of_o man_n and_o be_v teach_v by_o man_n which_o be_v not_o the_o way_n by_o which_o the_o apostle_n come_v to_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o such_o have_v not_o the_o gospel_n to_o preach_v who_o deny_v revelation_n and_o so_o they_o preach_v another_o gospel_n then_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n preach_v but_o now_o the_o same_o gospel_n be_v know_v again_o by_o many_o in_o who_o jesus_n christ_n be_v reveal_v who_o have_v bring_v life_n and_o immortality_n to_o light_v by_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o his_o power_n it_o be_v preach_v again_o even_o the_o same_o gospel_n which_o be_v neither_o of_o man_n nor_o by_o man_n but_o in_o the_o same_o power_n receive_v as_o they_o receive_v it_o and_o in_o the_o same_o power_n preach_v as_o they_o preach_v it_o and_o it_o be_v commit_v unto_o faithful_a man_n who_o god_n have_v entrust_v with_o it_o who_o be_v able_a to_o teach_v other_o also_o and_o this_o be_v the_o light_n which_o shine_v out_o of_o darkness_n and_o go_v over_o the_o night_n of_o apostasy_n with_o all_o the_o apostate_n invention_n and_o in_o power_n redeem_v people_n up_o to_o god_n again_o from_o who_o they_o be_v alienate_v in_o the_o apostasy_n and_o such_o who_o eye_n be_v shut_v and_o ear_n stop_v and_o heart_n harden_v against_o this_o glorious_a administration_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o be_v of_o all_o man_n most_o miserable_a for_o it_o be_v the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n unto_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o it_o and_o receive_v it_o but_o they_o that_o reject_v it_o and_o be_v rebellious_a against_o it_o they_o reject_v the_o love_a kindness_n of_o god_n and_o with_o the_o gospel_n be_v condemn_v and_o not_o save_v for_o they_o that_o believe_v not_o they_o be_v condemn_v because_o they_o believe_v not_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n but_o unto_o all_o that_o do_v believe_v his_o appearance_n bring_v life_n and_o immortality_n to_o light_v by_o the_o gospel_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o gospel_n that_o be_v now_o preach_v and_o not_o another_o for_o it_o have_v wrought_v effectual_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o many_o and_o have_v purge_v and_o expel_v the_o uncleanness_n and_o filthiness_n both_o of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n and_o have_v pull_v down_o felf-righteousness_n and_o reveal_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o which_o many_o be_v establish_v so_o that_o the_o life_n of_o such_o now_o who_o have_v receive_v the_o gospel_n do_v full_o answer_v to_o the_o life_n of_o such_o then_o by_o which_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o gospel_n and_o not_o another_o have_v wrought_v the_o same_o work_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o that_o have_v receive_v it_o as_o in_o time_n past_a and_o they_o answer_v to_o the_o same_o in_o life_n and_o practice_n as_o face_n answer_v face_n in_o a_o glass_n so_o that_o the_o demonstration_n of_o the_o gospel_n power_n may_v be_v clear_o distinguish_v from_o all_o invention_n for_o though_o there_o may_v be_v fair_a show_n of_o godliness_n in_o some_o particular_a form_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o translate_v into_o the_o power_n and_o life_n of_o christ_n in_o which_o the_o gospel_n administration_n stand_v therefore_o unto_o all_o such_o who_o yet_o abide_v in_o darkness_n and_o be_v seek_v peace_n in_o their_o own_o way_n be_v this_o message_n send_v in_o love_n that_o they_o unto_o the_o light_n may_v be_v turn_v

the_o light_n make_v manifest_a without_o which_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n can_v never_o be_v perceive_v for_o as_o the_o light_n be_v in_o itself_o a_o most_o holy_a pure_a and_o righteous_a
