i_o the_o true_a faith_n by_o which_o i_o find_v a_o inward_a rejoice_n in_o my_o soul_n to_o come_v to_o god_n and_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o with_o confidence_n and_o therefore_o i_o must_v serve_v

reflection_n upon_o the_o great_a mercy_n and_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o poor_a sinner_n of_o which_o number_n he_o do_v feel_o confess_v himself_o to_o be_v one_o and_o i_o judge_v that_o he_o do_v it_o feel_o because_o he_o show_v a_o hatred_n to_o his_o former_a sinful_a life_n and_o a_o joy_n to_o have_v find_v a_o way_n of_o deliverance_n from_o it_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o character_n of_o grace_n in_o this_o turk_n who_o have_v so_o little_a notional_a knowledge_n of_o which_o so_o many_o of_o we_o christian_n abound_v so_o much_o and_o for_o which_o there_o be_v so_o

when_o they_o be_v baptise_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n they_o reject_v not_o only_o baptism_n but_o all_o other_o ordinance_n but_o to_o these_o none_o other_o answer_n be_v
