way_n that_o ever_o be_v for_o the_o advance_v the_o good_a of_o mankind_n nothing_o can_v be_v a_o part_n of_o this_o holy_a faith_n but_o what_o be_v proportion_v to_o the_o end_n for_o which_o it_o

of_o our_o soul_n here_o we_o have_v the_o rule_n of_o holy_a obedience_n and_o the_o method_n of_o repentance_n and_o reconciliation_n for_o past_a sin_n clear_o set_v before_o we_o we_o believe_v all_o that_o doctrine_n which_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n deliver_v and_o the_o primitive_a church_n receive_v we_o have_v the_o comfort_n of_o all_o those_o sacrament_n which_o christ_n

that_o shall_v so_o extravagant_o seduce_v any_o who_o have_v be_v breed_v up_o in_o a_o church_n so_o well_o constitute_v unless_o a_o blind_a superstition_n in_o their_o temper_n or_o a_o desire_n
