invincible_o defend_v by_o abundance_n of_o the_o orthodox_n divine_v of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o by_o none_o more_o effectual_o than_o by_o mr._n baxter_n in_o his_o book_n against_o

i_o say_v all_o these_o be_v no_o other_o than_o go_v thither_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n that_o be_v faith_n in_o his_o blood_n and_o righteousness_n and_o intercession_n but_o those_o that_o

before_o we_o be_v accurse_v of_o god_n we_o must_v first_o make_v our_o body_n and_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o than_o we_o must_v go_v to_o heaven_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o
