meaning_n as_o from_o the_o obscurity_n or_o hiddennes_n of_o matter_n then_o there_o must_v be_v first_o a_o distinction_n after_o that_o a_o definition_n for_o as_o the_o same_o writer_n say_v very_o well_o the_o faithful_a interpretation_n or_o true_a meaning_n of_o word_n and_o name_n of_o thing_n do_v afford_v a_o safe_a and_o suit_n way_n right_o to_o understand_v what_o be_v their_o

of_o the_o whole_a universal_a world_n and_o that_o for_o the_o structure_n or_o fashion_v of_o he_o the_o most_o mighty_a and_o bless_a god_n do_v foul_v up_o as_o it_o be_v in_o one_o lump_n a_o

proper_o what_o he_o be_v and_o after_o the_o selfsame_o manner_n even_o here_o our_o apostlelike_a writer_n forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o nation_n that_o ever_o be_v enemy_n to_o true_a godliness_n which_o at_o all_o time_n refuse_v the_o righteousness_n appoint_v by_o god_n even_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n he_o do_v so_o much_o the_o more_o advance_v or_o set_v forth_o at_o large_a the_o dignity_n and_o worth_n of_o faith_n tell_v they_o that_o therein_o consist_v full_a and_o whole_o both_o the_o promise_n and_o inheritance_n and_o what_o benefit_n soever_o a_o godly_a and_o bless_a life_n require_v together_o with_o all_o the_o substance_n of_o thing_n eternal_a which_o by_o hope_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v neither_o can_v their_o father_n say_v he_o have_v ever_o please_v god_n by_o any_o other_o good_a part_n or_o virtue_n of_o their_o own_o but_o by_o this_o faith_n only_o in_o which_o discourse_n very_o he_o make_v a_o well_o garnish_v description_n of_o faith_n set_v it_o out_o with_o honourable_a word_n of_o great_a commendation_n well_o beseem_v the_o excellency_n thereof_o yet_o do_v he_o not_o define_v it_o for_o if_o he_o

we_o come_v to_o the_o question_n of_o faith_n which_o we_o have_v take_v in_o hand_n and_o before_o i_o do_v define_v the_o nature_n thereof_o what_o it_o be_v lest_o i_o shall_v fall_v into_o b._n
