that_o as_o by_o baptism_n you_o be_v make_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o enter_v into_o the_o state_n of_o salvation_n so_o by_o this_o communion_n with_o he_o you_o continue_v in_o that_o

of_o the_o christian_a society_n nor_o have_v any_o reason_n to_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o live_a member_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n viii_o and_o if_o you_o do_v not_o come_v up_o to_o your_o resolution_n in_o every_o thing_n but_o find_v rather_o you_o have_v several_a way_n fail_v in_o the_o performance_n of_o your_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o your_o

more_o spiritual_a strength_n unto_o you_o ix_o and_o if_o you_o still_o start_v back_o again_o let_v not_o that_o discourage_v you_o nor_o make_v you_o think_v you_o shall_v never_o grow_v better_o but_o hope_v in_o god_n rather_o that_o by_o the_o constant_a and_o frequent_a use_n of_o this_o and_o all_o other_o holy_a mean_n you_o shall_v at_o last_o be_v steadfast_a and_o unmovable_a in_o well-doing_n you_o will_v never_o be_v so_o if_o you_o leave_v off_o to_o communicate_v but_o you_o will_v grow_v more_o and_o more_o careless_a in_o other_o thing_n and_o therefore_o continue_v to_o

to_o triumph_v over_o the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n x._o and_o last_o be_v not_o hinder_v by_o doubt_n and_o scruple_n wherewith_o many_o be_v wont_a to_o perplex_v and_o
