the_o beginning_n and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n it_o shall_v be_v profitable_a to_o touch_v what_o these_o form_n of_o speak_v do_v differ_v from_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n i_o call_v

love_v he_o therein_o be_v rather_o show_v what_o manner_n of_o man_n be_v his_o servant_n which_o have_v faithful_o receive_v his_o covenant_n than_o the_o cause_n be_v express_v why_o the_o lord_n

shall_v be_v love_v fear_a &_o honour_v of_o we_o so_o whatsoever_o promise_v there_o be_v of_o his_o mercy_n in_o the_o scripture_n they_o be_v rightful_o direct_v to_o this_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v reverence_v and_o worship_v the_o author_n of_o the_o benefit_n so_o oft_o therefore_o as_o we_o hear_v that_o he_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o keep_v his_o law_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v there_o signify_v by_o the_o duty_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v continual_a in_o they_o that_o we_o be_v for_o this_o cause_n adopt_v that_o we_o shall_v honour_v

we_o believe_v that_o the_o promise_n itself_o be_v not_o vanish_v away_o but_o rather_o thus_o we_o consider_v god_n by_o baptism_n promise_v the_o forgevenesse_n of_o sin_n and_o sith_o he_o have_v promise_v it_o will_v undouted_o perform_v it_o to_o all_o that_o believe_v it_o that_o promise_n be_v offer_v we_o in_o baptism_n by_o faith_n therefore_o let_v we_o embrace_v it_o it_o have_v in_o

the_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n remain_v always_o steadfast_a and_o inviolable_a therefore_o with_o the_o only_a condition_n of_o repentance_n they_o be_v
