heir_n of_o eternal_a life_n let_v this_o testimony_n appear_v evident_a by_o way_n of_o demonstration_n in_o this_o manner_n whosoever_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o in_o their_o heart_n cry_v abba_n

that_o all_o such_o as_o be_v persuade_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v predestinate_v to_o eternal_a life_n &_o be_v thorough_o persuade_v in_o

to_o unmask_v such_o a_o disguise_a hypocrite_n there_o be_v two_o proper_a mark_n to_o discern_v this_o affection_n from_o the_o false_a 1._o the_o first_o be_v his_o love_n to_o a_o christian_a in_o

than_o it_o shall_v not_o betoken_v grace_n but_o be_v the_o mean_n of_o our_o damnation_n but_o such_o obedience_n as_o in_o the_o favourable_a acceptation_n of_o god_n measure_v a_o deed_n rather_o

aswell_o as_o the_o rest_n yet_o all_o this_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o that_o the_o one_o will_v not_o obey_v the_o seven_o commandment_n in_o leave_v his_o brother_n phi●ips_n wife_n and_o the_o other_o will_v not_o leave_v his_o covetousness_n to_o die_v for_o it_o entire_a and_o true_a obedience_n do_v stretch_v out_o itself_o to_o all_o the_o commandment_n as_o david_n say_v i_o
