this_o admonition_n be_v very_o necessary_a lest_o the_o fall_v away_o of_o that_o people_n shall_v trouble_v the_o weak_a above_o measure_n as_o though_o the_o salvation_n of_o they_o all_o be_v for_o ever_o to_o be_v despair_v of_o although_o the_o same_o at_o this_o day_n be_v no_o less_o profitable_a for_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o the_o salvation_n of_o a_o number_n

as_o to_o the_o roman_n that_o our_o faith_n be_v content_a with_o the_o word_n may_v support_v we_o with_o expectation_n until_o the_o effect_n itself_o come_v to_o light_n that_o cecitie_n have_v partly_o i_o suppose_v the_o word_n partly_o neither_o simple_o to_o respect_v the_o time_n nor_o multitude_n but_o i_o understande_v it_o to_o be_v put_v for_o in_o a_o sort_n by_o which_o particle_n he_o seem_v unto_o i_o only_o to_o go_v about_o to_o temper_v a_o word_n otherwise_o bitter_a or_o sharp_a by_o itself_o and_o the_o word_n until_o do_v not_o infer_v the_o proceed_n or_o order_n of_o

therefore_o this_o cecity_n serve_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n to_o work_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o gentile_n which_o he_o have_v ordain_v gentile_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o fullness_n
