the_o one_o and_o yet_o the_o most_o endear_a affection_n towards_o the_o other_o but_o the_o secret_n will_v manifest_v itself_o when_o thou_o shall_v consider_v that_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o trial_n of_o skill_n between_o the_o apocryphal_a story_n of_o tobias_n and_o the_o canonical_a history_n of_o daniel_n now_o that_o i_o may_v deliver_v thou_o from_o this_o uneasy_a

the_o true_a reason_n of_o their_o severe_a displeasure_n conceive_v against_o the_o three_o paper_n be_v that_o it_o have_v so_o clear_o and_o full_o bear_v its_o testimony_n against_o the_o antinomian_o in_o the_o fundamental_a article_n of_o justification_n and_o thus_o it_o speak_v we_o further_o declare_v as_o to_o to_o the_o special_a matter_n in_o difference_n concern_v justification_n that_o although_o the_o express_a word_n of_o god_n do_v assert_v the_o necessity_n of_o regeneration_n to_o our_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o require_v repentance_n that_o our_o sin_n may_v be_v blot_v out_o and_o faith_n in_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v and_o holiness_n of_o heart_n and_o life_n without_o which_o we_o can_v see_v god_n yet_o that_o none_o of_o these_o or_o any_o work_n do_v by_o man_n or_o wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o they_o be_v under_o any_o denomination_n whatsoever_o any_o part_n of_o that_o
