the_o crown_n god_n have_v promise_v to_o those_o that_o do_v believe_v or_o obey_v and_o c_o first_o du●es_v because_o faith_n work_v by_o love_n and_o good_a duty_n do_v out_o of_o love_n be_v

wicked_a man_n as_o they_o can_v believe_v so_o neither_o can_v they_o love_v because_o these_o thing_n be_v essential_o good_a in_o themselves_o and_o although_o we_o neither_o do_v they_o nor_o
