many_o more_o testimony_n prove_v the_o same_o truth_n may_v be_v instance_a and_o though_o the_o holy_a scripture_n without_o and_o the_o saint_n practice_n be_v as_o light_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o

what_o i_o have_v already_o in_o love_n say_v i_o shall_v leave_v to_o his_o more_o serious_a and_o better_a consideration_n 1._o query_n how_o and_o by_o what_o mean_n may_v salvation_n be_v attain_v

the_o light_n of_o the_o lamb_n rev._n 21._o 24._o which_o be_v the_o best_a and_o most_o excellent_a way_n though_o we_o must_v confess_v as_o jesus_n the_o true_a light_n of_o the_o world_n be_v god_n bless_v forever_o our_o vessel_n be_v not_o able_a to_o contain_v he_o because_o his_o presence_n be_v infinite_a and_o fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o as_o he_o be_v thus_o infinite_a in_o

according_a to_o what_o the_o apostle_n say_v rom._n 1._o 19_o that_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v manifest_a in_o they_o for_o god_n have_v show_v it_o unto_o they_o and_o col._n 1._o

hope_n of_o glory_n therefore_o i_o say_v the_o hope_n which_o we_o with_o all_o true_a christians_n have_v whereby_o we_o may_v attain_v heaven_n where_o all_o felicity_n and_o happiness_n be_v enjoy_v for_o ever_o be_v not_o by_o any_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n at_o a_o distance_n without_o we_o but_o as_o he_o be_v inward_o reveal_v by_o his_o light_n and_o spirit_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o they_o who_o thus_o know_v he_o have_v and_o do_v experience_n the_o virtue_n of_o his_o precious_a blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o many_o to_o wash_v away_o their_o sin_n and_o to_o purge_v
