this_o be_v the_o last_o end_n of_o predestination_n shadow_v unto_o we_o by_o paul_n in_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o potter_n which_o have_v power_n to_o make_v one_o vessel_n to_o honour_n and_o

that_o the_o same_o hope_v confound_v he_o to_o answer_v to_o these_o thing_n we_o will_v repeat_v that_o which_o we_o say_v before_o namely_o that_o hope_n receive_v his_o certainty_n of_o faith_n and_o faith_n have_v his_o certainty_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o either_o of_o they_o be_v as_o certain_a as_o be_v the_o promise_n which_o be_v offer_v and_o god_n

for_o they_o wherefore_o in_o these_o thing_n neither_o faith_n nor_o hope_n can_v deceive_v us._n but_o touch_v the_o danger_n and_o adversity_n of_o this_o life_n we_o have_v no_o plain_a and_o

that_o we_o shall_v not_o fall_v away_o but_o constant_o confess_v his_o name_n or_o if_o we_o chance_v to_o fall_v he_o have_v promise_v to_o restore_v we_o again_o that_o we_o may_v attain_v to_o

belong_v to_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o determine_v certeinlie_o that_o god_n do_v love_v we_o and_o that_o he_o will_v at_o the_o length_n make_v we_o bless_v and_o if_o sometime_o the_o mind_n of_o

happen_v not_o through_o the_o default_n either_o of_o faith_n or_o of_o hope_n but_o by_o reason_n that_o while_o we_o live_v here_o we_o be_v not_o endue_v with_o perfection_n wherefore_o this_o doubt_n proceed_v from_o the_o flesh_n and_o from_o our_o humane_a wisdom_n indeed_o we_o agree_v with_o our_o adversary_n in_o this_o point_n that_o sometime_o certain_a doubt_n of_o salvation_n do_v

wherein_o we_o be_v command_v to_o fly_v because_o each_o one_o of_o they_o must_v be_v use_v in_o his_o due_a time_n but_o the_o ground_n of_o their_o doctrine_n which_o affirm_v this_o precept_n
