be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n in_o man_n answer_n to_o the_o thing_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o the_o true_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n offer_v faith_n unto_o all_o man_n there_o be_v in_o all_o man_n some_o measure_n of_o illumination_n by_o which_o they_o be_v capable_a to_o receiv_v it_o now_o john_n say_v further_a he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n be_v make_v by_o

therefore_o john_n bear_v testimony_n unto_o he_o not_o only_o in_o what_o he_o be_v at_o present_a but_o in_o what_o he_o have_v be_v from_o the_o beginning_n both_o what_o he_o then_o be_v and_o what_o he_o be_v to_o be_v afterward_o so_o by_o his_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o come_v unto_o his_o own_o can_v be_v simple_o understand_v his_o come_n in_o the_o outward_a exclude_v his_o

only_o the_o saint_n and_o believer_n no_o for_o if_o saint_n and_o believer_n only_o receive_v grace_n from_o christ_n than_o no_o unbeliever_n can_v ever_o become_v saint_n and_o also_o no_o saint_n ever_o be_v unbeleiver_n which_o be_v false_a for_o now_o when_o grace_n first_o come_v unto_o man_n from_o christ_n out_o of_o his_o fullness_n it_o find_v they_o unbeliever_n and_o it_o be_v give_v they_o while_o they_o be_v such_o to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v be_v convert_v from_o their_o unbeleef_n so_o then_o unbeliever_n receive_v grace_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v and_o
