work_v by_o faith_n only_o free_o we_o receyve_v remissyon_n of_o our_o sin_n what_o can_v be_v speak_v more_o plain_o then_o to_o say_v that_o free_o without_o work_v by_o faith_n only_o we_o

to_o compte_fw-fr ourselves_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o some_o act_n or_o virtue_n that_o be_v within_o oure selfe_o but_o the_o true_a understand_v and_o mean_v thereof_o be_v that_o although_o we_o

and_o therefore_o we_o must_v trust_v only_o in_o god_n mercy_n and_o in_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o our_o high_a priest_n and_o saviour_n christ_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n once_o offer_v for_o
