than_o two_o which_o shall_v immediate_o follow_v mr._n trever_v except_v against_o mr._n hooker_n for_o that_o in_o one_o of_o his_o sermon_n he_o declare_v that_o the_o assurance_n of_o what_o we_o

but_o be_v we_o so_o sure_a and_o certain_a of_o they_o if_o we_o be_v why_o do_v god_n so_o often_o prove_v his_o promise_n to_o we_o as_o he_o do_v by_o argument_n draw_v from_o our_o sensible_a experience_n for_o we_o must_v be_v sure_a of_o the_o proof_n than_o of_o the_o thing_n prove_v otherwise_o it_o be_v no_o proof_n for_o example_n how_o be_v it_o that_o many_o man_n look_v on_o the_o

when_o as_o the_o strong_a in_o faith_n that_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n have_v always_o need_v to_o labour_n strive_v and_o pray_v that_o his_o assurance_n concern_v heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a
