9_o use_v if_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n but_o of_o another_o then_o hence_o we_o collect_v the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o live_v by_o faith_n christian_n have_v

the_o throne_n of_o this_o king_n of_o saint_n be_v not_o a_o visible_a throne_n to_o be_v see_v by_o the_o eye_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n but_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n the_o privilege_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o be_v ●ot_n to_o be_v see_v and_o enjoy_v by_o sense_n and_o reason_n but_o by_o faith_n and_o so_o the_o ordinance_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n of_o it_o they_o be_v spiritual_a and_o must_v have_v faith_n to_o close_v with_o they_o and_o all_o the_o comfort_n of_o this_o kingdom_n must_v be_v draw_v in_o by_o faith_n therefore_o it_o be_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n that_o the_o saint_n shall_v exercise_v much_o faith_n in_o their_o life_n that_o they_o shall_v live_v continual_o by_o faith_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o 2_o cor._n 5._o 7._o for_o we_o walk_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o sight_n it_o be_v not_o by_o sight_n we_o walk_v indeed_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o we_o be_v translate_v into_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a a_o heavenly_a kingdom_n so_o that_o the_o saint_n must_v walk_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o sight_n therefore_o my_o brethren_n labour_v to_o strengthen_v faith_n and_o act_v your_o faith_n and_o live_v upon_o faith_n exercise_n faith_n in_o all_o your_o way_n make_v much_o of_o grace_n and_o
