A20398 A Most excellent and profitable dialogue, of the powerfull iustifying faith shewing what it is to beleeue in God, and what wonders are wrought by the power of beliefe, be it worldly or diuine, and what things do hinder beliefe : also how a man may hate himselfe, and by faith forsake himselfe, and kill the deeds of the flesh : the effect of the talke is this, that he which beleeueth in God, and in his son Iesus Christ, is able by the power of that beliefe, to mortifie his flesh, with the lusts thereof, through the Holy Ghost, and to serue God in spirit and truth / translated out of Latine by Arthur Golding. Golding, Arthur, 1536-1606. 1610 (1610) STC 6809.5; ESTC S342 24,313 58

ever_o from_o my_o childhood_n believe_v in_o god_n and_o true_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o there_o be_v very_o few_o if_o there_o be_v any_o at_o all_o which_o believe_v not_o in_o god_n fred._n

such_o good_a thing_n as_o neither_o eye_n have_v see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v nor_o heart_n of_o man_n conceive_v let_v we_o confess_v the_o truth_n here_o also_o my_o lewis_n if_o we_o believe_v this_o

but_o now_o when_o we_o be_v glad_a of_o gain_n sorry_a for_o loss_n great_o grieve_v and_o cast_v down_o with_o reproach_n hoist_v up_o with_o honour_n and_o overioy_v with_o pleasure_n all_o which_o

what_o if_o god_n shall_v promise_v we_o some_o thing_n that_o may_v seem_v unpossible_a as_o when_o he_o promise_v old_a abraham_n a_o son_n by_o sara_n be_v old_a and_o barren_a too_o or_o what_o if_o he_o shall_v command_v we_o a_o thing_n that_o may_v seem_v unreasonable_a as_o when_o he_o will_v the_o say_a abraham_n to_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n in_o sacrifice_n by_o which_o son_n he_o have_v promise_v he_o a_o offspring_n without_o number_n lew._n sure_o i_o be_o afraid_a we_o will_v not_o believe_v he_o fred._n and_o yet_o be_v abraham_n the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a
