of_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o understanding_n hope_n be_v say_v to_o be_v certain_a and_o the_o heart_n hope_v certain_o that_o salvation_n will_v come_v therefore_o this_o certainty_n be_v not_o

there_o be_v other_o cause_n of_o certainty_n beside_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n a_o man_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v simple_o and_o absolute_o certain_a of_o his_o own_o salvation_n for_o the_o

the_o form_n of_o faith_n for_o he_o that_o have_v charity_n be_v in_o this_o part_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n certain_a of_o his_o salvation_n for_o charity_n be_v a_o sure_a cause_n of_o

then_o their_o opinion_n that_o hope_n be_v likewise_o uncertain_a but_o yet_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a in_o some_o respect_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o promise_n then_o in_o respect_n of_o

the_o same_o time_n it_o be_v uncertain_a for_o other_o cause_n which_o be_v in_o ourselves_o as_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o repentance_n in_o respect_n of_o our_o work_n and_o merit_n which_o be_v

of_o charity_n this_o be_v their_o opinion_n but_o we_o hold_v thus_o that_o hope_n be_v call_v certain_a because_o of_o faith_n go_v afore_o it_o &_o for_o the_o full_a assurance_n hope_n certainty_n of_o hope_n of_o that_o faith_n for_o certainty_n do_v proper_o belong_v to_o faith_n and_o it_o be_v faith_n whereby_o every_o one_o of_o we_o do_v certain_o know_v that_o salvation_n belong_v unto_o we_o hence_o come_v the_o sureness_n of_o hope_n and_o the_o certainty_n thereof_o second_o we_o say_v that_o this_o certainty_n of_o hope_n which_o be_v for_o faith_n sake_n be_v simple_a and_o absolute_a and_o we_o deny_v that_o hope_n be_v in_o one_o respect_n certain_a and_o in_o another_o respect_n uncertain_a which_o thing_n they_o affirm_v but_o we_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v certain_a in_o all_o respect_n at_o least_o that_o it_o so_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o god_n promise_n in_o respect_n of_o charity_n and_o of_o our_o whole_a regeneration_n in_o respect_n of_o our_o

thing_n do_v depend_v upon_o god_n unchangeableness_n whether_o they_o be_v out_o of_o we_o as_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n or_o within_o we_o as_o charity_n and_o all_o regeneration_n for_o grace_v once_o give_v in_o christ_n jesus_n can_v never_o be_v total_o and_o final_o lose_v our_o adversary_n do_v place_n some_o cause_n of_o certainty_n in_o ourselves_o and_o in_o our_o strength_n and_o
