backward_o into_o their_o former_a darkness_n of_o ignorance_n &_o error_n for_o certain_a man_n have_v now_o begin_v with_o no_o little_a care_n and_o cunning_a to_o set_v a_o fair_a glass_n upon_o

they_o affirm_v that_o adulterer_n manqueller_n extortioner_n and_o such_o like_a who_o s._n paul_n deny_v ever_o to_o be_v heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n persist_v still_o in_o their_o 5._o sin_n and_o wickedness_n may_v conceive_v some_o hope_n and_o trust_v of_o their_o salvation_n and_o may_v promise_v unto_o themselves_o that_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n will_v be_v merciful_a â–ª_o and_o favourable_a unto_o they_o for_o that_o be_v it_o which_o we_o call_v to_o believe_v if_o this_o their_o assertion_n believe_v be_v true_a then_o sure_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n be_v in_o a_o

there_o be_v any_o lively_a faith_n in_o heinous_a sinner_n and_o wicked_a offender_n ergo_fw-la it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o their_o faith_n be_v a_o dead_a faith_n such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o
