after_o they_o have_v full_o believe_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o they_o at_o jerusalem_n in_o that_o vessel_n and_o many_o other_o scripture_n do_v he_o open_v to_o i_o as_o i_o learn_v he_o which_o before_o to_o i_o be_v a_o mystery_n while_o i_o learn_v they_o in_o meaning_n without_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n which_o then_o be_v open_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o they_o come_v to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o i_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n in_o that_o work_n of_o faith_n then_o come_v i_o to_o see_v that_o i_o through_o the_o law_n must_v be_v redeem_v from_o the_o law_n and_o that_o my_o redemption_n from_o it_o must_v not_o be_v by_o make_v it_o void_a but_o by_o fulfil_v of_o it_o and_o till_o than_o it_o have_v power_n over_o i_o and_o sin_n

he_o fulfil_v and_o i_o dead_a to_o it_o as_o it_o come_v to_o be_v fulfil_v and_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n i_o find_v true_a i_o come_v not_o to_o break_v the_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v it_o and_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o pass_v away_o then_o one_o jot_n of_o the_o law_n to_o pasâ—_n away_o till_o it_o be_v fulfil_v and_o i_o need_v not_o a_o meaning_n to_o that_o

know_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n or_o perfect_a freedom_n and_o then_o i_o see_v the_o scripture_n can_v not_o be_v break_v nor_o wrest_v but_o it_o must_v be_v learn_v in_o the_o

and_o then_o come_v i_o clear_o to_o see_v christ_n jesus_n set_v before_o i_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o i_o be_v to_o go_v through_o in_o that_o faith_n which_o i_o have_v first_o receive_v and_o

notwithstanding_o my_o first_o faith_n in_o what_o he_o have_v do_v at_o jerusalem_n yet_o if_o i_o do_v not_o continue_v therein_o to_o follow_v the_o same_o spirit_n in_o obedience_n thereto_o believe_v therein_o in_o all_o its_o leading_n hope_v to_o attain_v to_o christ_n jesus_n the_o end_n of_o that_o faith_n in_o daily_o grow_v towards_o his_o stature_n and_o fullness_n but_o have_v

firm_a unto_o the_o end_n which_o end_n be_v the_o win_a christ_n in_o i_o the_o hope_n of_o glory_n the_o great_a mystery_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v hide_v from_o all_o till_o the_o revelation_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o so_o when_o the_o saint_n and_o apostle_n have_v christ_n reveal_v in_o they_o they_o be_v able_a minister_n of_o he_o and_o have_v the_o mystery_n open_v and_o preach_v it_o without_o doubt_n that_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n which_o be_v great_a yet_o hide_v from_o the_o world_n but_o to_o they_o without_o all_o controversy_n god_n manifest_a in_o flesh_n not_o god_n flesh_n but_o manifest_a in_o flesh_n which_o mystery_n of_o faith_n they_o hold_v in_o a_o pure_a conscience_n and_o so_o i_o know_v my_o faith_n to_o be_v the_o same_o faith_n once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o good_a fight_n of_o that_o faith_n i_o come_v to_o know_v and_o that_o faith_n which_o overcome_v the_o world_n which_o have_v the_o promise_n and_o inheritance_n of_o

in_o the_o learning_n of_o christ_n i_o come_v to_o see_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n from_o faith_n to_o faith_n and_o the_o faith_n of_o devil_n the_o live_a work_a faith_n and_o the_o dead_a faith_n without_o work_n and_o i_o find_v that_o christ_n never_o believe_v that_o he_o can_v never_o be_v perfect_a nor_o overcome_v the_o devil_n nor_o overcome_v sin_n it_o be_v never_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n to_o make_v void_a the_o law_n of_o his_o father_n unfulfil_v in_o he_o it_o be_v never_o his_o faith_n to_o revenge_v evil_a but_o to_o overcome_v it_o with_o good_a it_o be_v never_o his_o faith_n to_o respect_v person_n or_o that_o he_o can_v commit_v sin_n and_o not_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v never_o his_o faith_n to_o sue_v contend_v or_o fight_v or_o persecute_v any_o to_o judge_v for_o reward_n or_o preach_v for_o hire_v or_o any_o way_n to_o serve_v the_o mammon_n of_o this_o world_n it_o be_v not_o his_o faith_n to_o observe_v his_o own_o

of_o himself_o he_o never_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v child_n of_o god_n who_o say_v and_o do_v not_o and_o much_o such_o like_a thing_n as_o these_o be_v never_o by_o he_o believe_v but_o be_v the_o

and_o lust_n who_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n which_o present_v perfect_a to_o god_n by_o work_v out_o such_o evil_n all_o which_o i_o come_v to_o see_v not_o by_o man_n but_o in_o the_o revelation_n of_o christ_n as_o in_o his_o faith_n i_o learn_v he_o grow_v into_o his_o faith_n into_o he_o and_o his_o life_n therein_o make_v manifest_a in_o my_o body_n so_o i_o see_v what_o

i_o find_v also_o that_o this_o son_n of_o god_n do_v not_o appear_v in_o any_o within_o or_o without_o but_o as_o he_o conform_v they_o to_o his_o own_o image_n which_o he_o have_v always_o bear_v

to_o the_o heavenly_a in_o that_o spiritual_a birth_n which_o be_v not_o of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n nor_o can_v flesh_n and_o blood_n ever_o discern_v it_o in_o who_o it_o be_v but_o ever_o hare_v

light_n and_o condemnation_n even_o his_o come_n and_o so_o i_o find_v that_o faith_n which_o join_v to_o the_o world_n where_o it_o be_v and_o do_v not_o overcome_v the_o world_n be_v not_o the_o

be_v the_o estate_n of_o many_o at_o this_o day_n though_o some_o there_o be_v who_o conscience_n be_v fear_v and_o feel_v not_o this_o witness_n live_v in_o they_o though_o their_o damnation_n

and_o nature_n betwixt_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o that_o faith_n which_o man_n make_v to_o themselves_o for_o that_o which_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v of_o

be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o this_o effect_n have_v save_a work_a faith_n and_o this_o be_v its_o nature_n and_o grace_n but_o another_o faith_n i_o have_v find_v which_o be_v not_o so_o in_o nature_n or_o effect_n be_v not_o free_o receive_v from_o above_o but_o be_v feign_v and_o have_v its_o ground_n here_o below_o and_o its_o end_n also_o the_o earthly_a man_n in_o his_o wisdom_n from_o the_o letter_n or_o reason_n or_o comprehension_n set_v up_o a_o opinion_n or_o image_n in_o his_o mind_n touch_v god_n or_o christ_n or_o religion_n worship_n doctrine_n or_o manner_n or_o

in_o himself_o and_o though_o this_o faith_n be_v not_o perfect_a when_o he_o have_v form_v it_o and_o make_v it_o with_o all_o his_o strength_n but_o many_o thing_n in_o scripture_n and_o the_o

and_o save_v his_o life_n and_o credit_n and_o glory_n there_o that_o he_o will_v conform_v to_o and_o glory_n in_o and_o for_o the_o rest_n he_o believe_v it_o concern_v not_o he_o now_o in_o all_o
