seem_v good_a thus_o brief_o to_o premise_v let_v we_o take_v in_o hand_n therefore_o the_o short_a sermon_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n touch_v our_o lord_n christ_n example_n as_o it_o be_v read_v john_n 1._o john_n see_v jefus_fw-la come_n unto_o he_o and_o say_v behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v he_o of_o who_o i_o say_v after_o

confession_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o let_v we_o examine_v every_o part_n and_o member_n by_o itself_o john_n see_v jesus_n come_n unto_o he_o i_o doctrine_n jesus_n come_v to_o john_n as_o well_o that_o by_o his_o presence_n he_o may_v cause_v he_o to_o be_v strong_a courageous_a and_o constant_a in_o the_o office_n of_o teach_v as_o also_o that_o by_o such_o a_o occasion_n the_o people_n

true_a man_n by_o who_o mankind_n shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o sin_n and_o everlasting_a damnation_n whereupon_o true_o it_o become_v plain_a and_o evident_a that_o god_o like_a as_o he_o determine_v from_o everlasting_a to_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o the_o intent_n those_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o may_v likewise_o be_v make_v the_o child_n of_o god_o and_o obtain_v

which_o man_n may_v be_v move_v and_o persuade_v to_o believe_v in_o these_o point_n therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v put_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n unto_o john_n &_o the_o sermon_n of_o john_n that_o
