knowledge_n whereof_o be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a principle_n which_o constitute_v a_o true_a christian_a friendly_a reader_n these_o be_v the_o rich_a possession_n of_o a_o christian_a this_o indeed_o be_v the_o very_a substance_n of_o religion_n therefore_o i_o say_v that_o man_n that_o enjoy_v the_o substance_n may_v be_v a_o christian_a without_o the_o form_n but_o no_o man_n with_o the_o form_n can_v be_v a_o christian_n without_o the_o substance_n moderate_a reader_n notwithstanding_o i_o have_v contemn_v the_o form_n of_o religion_n i_o do_v not_o condemn_v all_o person_n

it_o manifest_o appear_v that_o that_o faith_n which_o produce_v not_o these_o effect_n be_v not_o the_o true_a faith_n a_o few_o word_n to_o the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n who_o have_v be_v weary_v in_o
