work_v faith_n in_o we_o rom._n 10_o 17_o by_o which_o we_o believe_v in_o christ_n then_o be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n necessary_a to_o save_v where_o it_o be_v although_o god_n be_v able_a

away_o this_o article_n of_o your_o faith_n in_o which_o you_o have_v publish_v to_o the_o world_n that_o you_o believe_v that_o every_o believer_n be_v real_o separate_v from_o all_o sin_n both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n then_o for_o shame_n do_v not_o carry_v one_o face_n in_o private_a and_o another_o publickc_o to_o the_o world_n the_o three_o and_o thirty_o article_n you_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v a_o spiritual_a kingdom_n here_o on_o earth_n which_o be_v his_o church_n that_o he_o have_v purchase_v and_o redeem_v but_o this_o i_o grant_v than_o you_o believe_v that_o this_o purchase_v redeem_v church_n of_o christ_n be_v visible_a and_o a_o company_n of_o saint_n call_v and_o separate_v from_o the_o world_n by_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o the_o visible_a profession_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o baptize_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o join_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o each_o other_o by_o a_o mutual_a agreement_n in_o practical_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o ordinance_n command_v by_o christ_n their_o head_n and_o king_n but_o i_o much_o doubt_n of_o these_o thing_n than_o you_o answer_v say_v you_o believe_v that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o purchase_a people_n call_v to_o their_o visible_a profession_n of_o he_o and_o for_o invisible_a thing_n you_o leave_v to_o god_n till_o he_o make_v they_o

dare_v you_o publish_v to_o the_o world_n that_o those_o who_o christ_n have_v purchase_v and_o redeem_v be_v visible_a make_v profession_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o baptize_v and_o join_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o each_o other_o in_o the_o practical_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o ordinance_n when_o as_o know_v i_o put_v you_o to_o it_o you_o dare_v not_o stand_v to_o it_o but_o you_o will_v leave_v it_o to_o god_n and_o so_o you_o cast_v away_o this_o article_n also_o and_o i_o think_v if_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o all_o who_o hand_n be_v at_o they_o they_o will_v shuffle_v

he_o say_v himself_o other_o sheep_n i_o have_v which_o be_v not_o of_o this_o fold_n they_o i_o must_v bring_v in_o john_n 10.16_o then_o be_v all_o visible_a and_o call_v and_o already_o make_v

suffice_v to_o show_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o the_o body_n second_o they_o hold_v that_o the_o breath_n of_o man_n and_o of_o beast_n be_v their_o spirit_n and_o that_o it_o be_v immortal_a and_o live_v when_o their_o body_n be_v dead_a to_o this_o i_o shall_v do_v as_o before_o to_o prove_v that_o their_o breath_n be_v not_o their_o spirit_n and_o answer_v what_o they_o have_v to_o say_v to_o the_o contrary_a as_o i_o go_v along_o only_o as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o the_o spirit_n soul_n or_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n mean_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o

the_o breath_n of_o man_n and_o beast_n be_v not_o the_o spirit_n i_o prove_v by_o these_o argument_n first_o man_n breath_n be_v a_o vanish_v thing_n his_o breath_n be_v in_o his_o nostril_n and_o wherein_o be_v he_o to_o be_v account_v of_o isa_n 2_o 22._o it_o be_v a_o wind_n that_o pass_v and_o come_v not_o again_o psal_n 76.39_o it_o be_v breathe_v into_o man_n gen._n 2_o 7._o the_o lord_n

the_o breath_n of_o man_n and_o beast_n be_v not_o their_o spirit_n three_o job_n make_v a_o distinction_n between_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o his_o breath_n say_v if_o god_n shall_v set_v his_o

need_v any_o breath_n for_o it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o soul_n or_o body_n and_o legion_n of_o spirit_n have_v be_v in_o one_o man_n and_o yet_o i_o suppose_v he_o have_v no_o more_o breath_n than_o another_o man_n and_o they_o may_v all_o speak_v and_o yet_o the_o man_n not_o breath_n then_o i_o suppose_v the_o breath_n be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o wind_n already_o create_v infuse_v into_o
