be_v save_v or_o else_o sincere_a covenant_v can_v not_o entitle_v we_o to_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o ancient_a church_n hold_v that_o all_o

the_o essence_n of_o religion_n a_o dull_a hearer_n must_v have_v many_o word_n when_o a_o quick_a intelligent_a person_n by_o few_o word_n can_v understand_v the_o same_o thing_n i_o believe_v in_o

a_o ignorant_a man_n a_o large_a plain_a catechism_n be_v short_a enough_o to_o express_v the_o same_o thing_n but_o as_o to_o the_o use_v of_o public_a profession_n of_o faith_n to_o satisfy_v the_o

by_o too_o much_o conciseness_n not_o tedious_a or_o tautological_a by_o a_o needless_a multiplication_n of_o word_n i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o fit_a to_o which_o end_n and_o because_o the_o ancient_a

our_o essential_o or_o fundamental_o which_o at_o least_o contain_v all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o have_v be_v by_o all_o the_o ancient_a church_n take_v for_o the_o sum_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o whereas_o they_o still_o say_v a_fw-la socinian_n or_o a_o papist_n will_n subscribe_v all_o this_o i_o answer_v they_o so_o much_o the_o better_a and_o so_o much_o the_o
