the_o same_o more_o at_o large_a therefore_o i_o shall_v divide_v the_o matter_n into_o two_o question_n the_o first_o be_v whether_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n to_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o do_v no_o body_n any_o injury_n that_o be_v to_o say_v whether_o every_o one_o may_v be_v save_v in_o his_o own_o private_a faith_n or_o belief_n if_o he_o endeavour_v to_o live_v honest_o and_o virtuous_o the_o second_o be_v that_o suppose_v that_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v necessary_a whether_o that_o alone_o be_v sufficient_a or_o whether_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v something_o else_o the_o first_o question_n as_o to_o the_o first_o question_n many_o at_o this_o time_n opinion_n the_o foundation_n of_o our_o adversary_n opinion_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o every_o one_o may_v be_v save_v in_o his_o own_o faith_n or_o religion_n the_o reason_n which_o they_o chief_o give_v be_v because_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o incredible_a that_o all_o jew_n and_o turk_n many_o of_o which_o worship_n god_n devout_o in_o their_o way_n and_o deal_v just_o with_o their_o neighbour_n shall_v be_v damn_v eternal_o only_o because_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o christ_n since_o in_o this_o regard_n they_o seem_v not_o to_o offend_v very_o much_o because_o from_o their_o infancy_n they_o be_v teach_v otherwise_o for_o why_o shall_v god_n who_o will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v save_v make_v the_o way_n of_o salvation_n so_o strict_a 1_o tim._n 2.4_o joh._n 3.17_o why_o shall_v he_o condemn_v to_o eternal_a punishment_n these_o miserable_a wretch_n who_o study_n to_o please_v he_o
