wanton_a and_o lascivious_a rhetoric_n make_v the_o immortal_a seed_n of_o god_n word_n more_o unfruitful_a like_o a_o sword_n wrap_v in_o wool_n that_o can_v cut_v like_o a_o oak_n embrace_v with_o

the_o point_n to_o show_v that_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v the_o sum_n of_o divinity_n the_o scope_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o first_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o divinity_n because_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o be_v the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n will_v light_v we_o in_o the_o search_n of_o the_o secret_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o lead_v we_o into_o the_o native_a meaning_n thereof_o with_o more_o

the_o way_n in_o which_o man_n be_v to_o walk_v to_o eternal_a salvation_n and_o eternal_a happiness_n which_o will_v easy_o appear_v to_o be_v summary_o comprise_v in_o faith_n if_o that_o be_v true_a which_o be_v most_o true_a which_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o attain_v salvation_n and_o the_o same_o will_v shine_v yet_o more_o bright_o if_o we_o do_v but_o lay_v down_o the_o several_n of_o the_o art_n for_o this_o will_v be_v the_o sum_n that_o all_o will_v amount_v to_o this_o will_v be_v the_o epitome_n of_o all_o even_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o obedience_n which_o be_v both_o and_o all_o the_o part_n of_o divinity_n take_v these_o asunder_o now_o and_o consider_v they_o

even_o christ_n jesus_n reason_n itself_o will_v subscribe_v to_o this_o article_n and_o prove_v it_o too_o for_o you_o know_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n be_v god_n alone_o and_o by_o it_o we_o be_v
