a_o copy_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a paper_n to_o jeremy_n suift_n follow_v to_o you_o that_o think_v william_n haworth_n to_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n how_o do_v you_o relish_v this_o

for_o salvation_n but_o call_v this_o inward_a work_n of_o christ_n legal_a righteousness_n therefore_o he_o deny_v the_o perfection_n of_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n what_o he_o do_v for_o we_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o at_o his_o death_n and_o the_o efficacy_n of_o that_o one_o offer_v and_o blood_n that_o be_v shed_v for_o we_o and_o be_v for_o the_o perfect_a of_o the_o

afore_o mention_v he_o say_v be_v altogether_o darkness_n and_o flesh_n but_o some_o of_o you_o be_v of_o a_o better_a judgement_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o have_v say_v to_o i_o and_o before_o

that_o thousand_o in_o the_o world_n be_v this_o day_n condemn_v by_o the_o lord_n yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v not_o condemine_v for_o unbelief_n so_o it_o seem_v there_o be_v a_o people_n in_o the_o
