the_o way_n in_o which_o man_n be_v to_o walk_v to_o eternal_a salvation_n and_o eternal_a happiness_n which_o will_v easy_o appear_v to_o be_v summary_o comprise_v in_o faith_n if_o that_o be_v true_a which_o be_v most_o true_a which_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o attain_v salvation_n and_o the_o same_o will_v shine_v yet_o more_o bright_o if_o we_o do_v
