in_o the_o gospel_n of_o this_o day_n let_v it_o be_v what_o way_n soever_o he_o think_v best_o very_o this_o may_v we_o well_o learn_v of_o it_o that_o christ_n will_v help_v and_o comfort_v we_o

then_o strive_v and_o wag_v battle_n with_o sin_n death_n the_o devel_n and_o hell_n then_o be_v we_o very_o can_v and_o coward_n and_o unprofitable_a and_o then_o do_v we_o with_o the_o deed_n perceive_v that_o we_o never_o have_v true_a faith_n nor_o ever_o be_v sincere_o in_o our_o mind_n affectionate_a towards_o the_o gospel_n now_o they_o that_o in_o the_o cross_n in_o persecution_n in_o tribulation_n and_o in_o peril_n will_v so_o soon_o flee_v from_o christ_n and_o deny_v he_o and_o will_v not_o suffer_v so_o small_a ieoperdye_o or_o peril_n for_o his_o sake_n if_o need_n be_v and_o so_o continue_v always_o in_o the_o same_o they_o never_o have_v one_o crome_z of_o sincere_a &_o true_a faith_n but_o rather_o a_o shadow_n or_o vizard_n of_o faith_n therefore_o they_o shall_v

their_o faith_n have_v be_v many_o time_n feeble_a in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o persecution_n yet_o have_v they_o not_o altogether_o fall_v into_o despiration_n but_o have_v ask_v

so_o likewise_o do_v the_o appostel_n when_o they_o be_v with_o christ_n in_o the_o ship_n for_o when_o their_o faith_n be_v so_o weak_a that_o they_o wear_v not_o able_a to_o strive_v with_o
