in_o this_o faith_n be_v so_o far_o from_o the_o reach_n of_o man_n freewill_n that_o to_o reason_v it_o be_v plain_a foolishness_n therefore_o thou_o must_v first_o go_v to_o god_n who_o gift_n it_o

in_o christ_n i_o mean_v the_o free_a promise_n but_o here_o thou_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o promise_n one_o which_o be_v proper_o of_o the_o law_n another_o of_o the_o

yet_o unto_o he_o that_o feel_v not_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v so_o far_a frnm_fw-la comfort_v that_o utter_o with_o the_o law_n they_o bring_v man_n to_o great_a

which_o we_o may_v see_v such_o plenty_n and_o frank_a liberality_n of_o god_n goodness_n that_o we_o can_v but_o be_v much_o comfort_v though_o we_o have_v very_o deep_o sin_v for_o these_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o hang_v on_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o worthiness_n as_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n do_v but_o they_o depend_v and_o hang_v on_o god_n truth_n that_o as_o god_n

this_o definition_n may_v be_v divide_v into_o three_o part_n first_o a_o forrow_n for_o our_o sin_n second_o a_o trust_n of_o pardon_n which_o otherwise_o may_v be_v call_v a_o persuasion_n of_o
