in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n quest_n but_o how_o shall_v i_o come_v to_o believe_v on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n answ_n 1._o you_o must_v be_v convince_v of_o sin_n you_o must_v see_v that_o you_o be_v

his_o blood_n and_o righteousness_n and_o so_o cast_v yourself_o whole_o upon_o he_o this_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o christ_n except_o the_o father_n which_o

of_o the_o greatness_n of_o god_n the_o holiness_n of_o his_o law_n the_o revenge_a justice_n of_o god_n and_o his_o own_o guilt_n and_o filth_n it_o be_v a_o great_a work_n of_o god_n to_o fix_v
