we_o and_o the_o papist_n do_v affirm_v that_o while_o we_o consider_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o merit_n of_o christ_n we_o have_v cause_n of_o assurance_n as_o the_o protestant_n teach_v but_o when_o we_o look_v into_o ourselves_o we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o doubt_v according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o papist_n but_o i_o answer_v if_o we_o look_v into_o ourselves_o as_o we_o be_v in_o ourselves_o consider_v a_o part_n from_o christ_n the_o best_a of_o we_o all_o shall_v have_v just_a cause_n not_o only_o to_o doubt_v as_o the_o papist_n teach_v but_o also_o to_o despair_v yea_o it_o be_v presumption_n for_o a_o man_n in_o that_o case_n to_o make_v but_o a_o doubtful_a matter_n of_o it_o but_o although_o we_o be_v to_o be_v humble_v in_o the_o conceit_n of_o our_o own_o vileness_n and_o be_v not_o only_o to_o doubt_v but_o also_o to_o despair_v of_o salvation_n in_o ourselves_o we_o be_v not_o consider_v as_o in_o christ_n yet_o this_o hinder_v not_o but_o that_o we_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v assure_v of_o saluationin_n christ._n for_o though_o we_o be_v sinful_a in_o ourselves_o yet_o be_v we_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n though_o in_o ourselves_o we_o have_v break_v the_o law_n and_o be_v therefore_o subject_a to_o the_o curse_n thereof_o yet_o in_o christ_n we_o have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o be_v free_v 13._o from_o the_o curse_n though_o in_o ourselves_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n and_o servant_n 3._o of_o sin_n yet_o in_o christ_n we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n of_o eternal_a life_n as_o 16._o therefore_o the_o faithful_a most_o certain_o be_v in_o christ_n so_o let_v they_o learn_v to_o conceive_v of_o themselves_o as_o they_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o what_o cause_n soever_o they_o have_v in_o themselves_o to_o doubt_v they_o may_v in_o christ_n assure_v themselves_o of_o their_o justification_n and_o salvation_n many_o a_o one_o that_o indeed_o believe_v in_o christ_n do_v himself_o wrong_a by_o not_o think_v of_o himself_o as_o he_o be_v in_o christ._n for_o the_o more_o assure_v we_o be_v of_o god_n love_n in_o christ_n the_o more_o shall_v our_o heart_n be_v inflame_v with_o love_n towards_o god_n and_o our_o brethren_n for_o his_o sake_n the_o more_o zealous_a we_o shall_v be_v of_o god_n glory_n the_o more_o cheerful_a in_o his_o service_n and_o that_o which_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o a_o christian_a here_o we_o shall_v lead_v our_o life_n 13._o in_o the_o expectation_n of_o a_o better_a life_n for_o the_o life_n as_o it_o be_v of_o this_o life_n mortal_a be_v the_o assurance_n of_o life_n immortal_a thus_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o the_o faithful_a be_v in_o christ_n and_o the_o use_n which_o we_o be_v to_o make_v thereof_o now_o we_o be_v
