the_o method_n reason_n and_o ground_n of_o the_o great_a work_n of_o salvation_n thus_o we_o see_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n adoption_n a_o custom_n well_o know_v among_o those_o of_o rome_n be_v much_o make_v use_n of_o to_o explain_v to_o they_o the_o grace_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n in_o give_v they_o eternal_a life_n to_o help_v they_o to_o conceive_v how_o they_o become_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o to_o assure_v they_o of_o a_o share_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n as_o heir_n to_o a_o inheritance_n whereas_o the_o set_n out_o and_o confirm_v the_o christian_a faith_n to_o the_o hebrew_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o they_o be_v by_o allusion_n and_o argument_n from_o the_o ceremony_n sacrifice_n and_o oeconomy_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o reference_n to_o the_o

holy_a writer_n inspire_v from_o above_o write_v nothing_o but_o truth_n and_o in_o most_o place_n very_o weighty_a truth_n to_o we_o now_o for_o the_o expound_v clear_v and_o confirm_v of_o the_o

article_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n without_o a_o explicit_a belief_n whereof_o no_o body_n can_v be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n church_n here_o nor_o be_v admit_v into_o his_o eternal_a kingdom_n hereafter_o if_o all_o or_o most_o of_o the_o truth_n declare_v in_o the_o epistle_n be_v to_o be_v receive_v and_o believe_v as_o fundamental_a article_n what_o then_o become_v of_o those_o
