but_o than_o second_o a_o second_o argument_n in_o the_o text_n shall_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o object_n and_o that_o be_v twofold_a there_o be_v faith_n and_o the_o profession_n of_o this_o faith_n

this_o this_o be_v the_o most_o holy_a faith_n it_o be_v so_o holy_a in_o so_o high_a a_o degree_n as_o to_o be_v beyond_o compare_n ay_o but_o now_o what_o be_v it_o that_o may_v denominate_v this_o faith_n to_o be_v the_o most_o holy_a faith_n why_o it_o have_v for_o its_o author_n the_o most_o holy_a god_n it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o the_o work_n of_o god_n if_o we_o take_v it_o for_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n if_o we_o take_v it_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v god_n many_o but_o we_o know_v but_o one_o most_o holy_a god_n there_o be_v that_o will_v be_v call_v your_o holiness_n in_o the_o world_n but_o this_o be_v the_o most_o holy_a god_n a_o god_n that_o be_v glorious_a in_o holiness_n yea_o who_o glory_n be_v to_o be_v holy_a there_o be_v nothing_o stamp_v glory_n on_o any_o subject_n like_o holiness_n what_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n and_o the_o

because_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a temple_n yea_o it_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o all_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v holy_a his_o justice_n will_v look_v like_o severity_n but_o that_o

admit_v we_o into_o the_o most_o holy_a place_n where_o the_o most_o holy_a god_n be_v say_v the_o apostle_n have_v therefore_o boldness_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a by_o the_o blood_n of_o

that_o make_v the_o most_o holy_a people_n and_o that_o admit_v we_o into_o the_o most_o holy_a place_n where_o do_v we_o find_v such_o another_o faith_n as_o this_o be_v if_o you_o leave_v this_o

be_v make_v good_a than_o to_o have_v good_a do_v unto_o we_o and_o belove_v what_o will_v it_o avail_v we_o if_o god_n shall_v do_v we_o good_a all_o our_o day_n if_o we_o be_v not_o make_v good_a if_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o good_a of_o health_n and_o wealth_n and_o long_a life_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v make_v good_a all_o this_o while_n it_o avail_v we_o not_o now_o this_o be_v the_o

of_o our_o faith_n it_o seem_v belove_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o hold_v fast_o our_o faith_n only_o but_o the_o profession_n of_o it_o why_o so_o true_o there_o be_v this_o in_o it_o the_o

if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o believe_v and_o necessary_a to_o profess_v it_o be_v then_o necessary_a to_o hold_v fast_o faith_n and_o consequent_o as_o necessary_a to_o hold_v fast_o the_o
