the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o have_v hear_v testimony_n enough_o in_o the_o former_a sermon_n therefore_o this_o one_o of_o paul_n shall_v be_v

whereupon_o he_o be_v call_v holy_a or_o the_o sanctifier_n therefore_o so_o often_o as_o we_o hear_v the_o holy_a ghost_n name_v we_o must_v by_o and_o by_o think_v of_o the_o power_n in_o work_v which_o the_o scripture_n attribute_v to_o he_o and_o we_o must_v look_v after_o the_o benefit_n that_o from_o he_o do_v flow_v to_o we_o for_o the_o power_n operation_n or_o action_n of_o the_o

this_o eight_o article_n we_o do_v profess_v that_o we_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o all_o the_o faithful_a be_v cleanse_v wash_v regenerate_v sanctify_a enlighten_v and_o enrich_v of_o god_n with_o

the_o remnant_n and_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v remain_v behind_o and_o saint_n peter_n say_v that_o christ_n suffer_v for_o we_o leave_v behind_o he_o a_o example_n for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v

free_a gift_n of_o god_n bestow_v upon_o we_o and_o in_o that_o sense_n do_v paul_n use_v the_o name_n of_o faith_n when_o he_o affirm_v that_o faith_n do_v justify_v but_o in_o this_o place_n of_o the_o thirteen_o chapter_n to_o the_o corinthian_n he_o do_v not_o so_o take_v the_o name_n of_o faith_n but_o put_v it_o for_o the_o power_n of_o work_a miracle_n as_o be_v manifest_a by_o that_o

in_o all_o thing_n to_o do_v service_n to_o god_o his_o maker_n therefore_o for_o the_o unseparable_a knot_n betwixt_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n which_o always_o keep_v company_n and_o attend_v

this_o more_o manifest_a in_o true_a faith_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v reconciliation_n and_o obedience_n reconciliation_n because_o by_o faith_n we_o understand_v and_o very_o

that_o faith_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n the_o justify_n and_o the_o obey_v faith_n of_o the_o justify_n faith_n saint_n paul_n make_v mention_v where_o he_o say_v be_v justify_v by_o say_v we_o have_v peace_n towards_o god_n through_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o we_o be_v reconcile_v again_o he_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o obey_a faith_n where_o he_o say_v know_v you_o not_o that_o to_o who_o you_o give_v yourselves_o as_o servant_n to_o obey_v his_o servant_n you_o be_v to_o who_o you_o do_v obey_v whether_o it_o be_v of_o sin_n unto_o death_n or_o of_o obedience_n unto_o

and_o now_o we_o count_v it_o out_o of_o all_o controversy_n that_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n baptize_v they_o who_o christ_n command_v to_o baptise_v but_o he_o command_v to_o baptise_v the_o
