we_o desire_v to_o testify_v unto_o all_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o ourselves_o from_o the_o suspect_n of_o that_o most_o damnable_a heresy_n that_o god_n in_o mercy_n have_v thus_o far_o give_v we_o

we_o confess_v with_o thappostle_a rom._n 7.18_o we_o know_v that_o mus_fw-la that_o be_v in_o our_o flesh_n dwell_v no_o good_a thing_n and_o christ_n have_v teach_v we_o io._n 3.6_o that_o which_o

therefore_o all_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n must_v be_v bear_v again_o before_o they_o can_v be_v spiritual_a and_o we_o confess_v with_o the_o same_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 1.30_o that_o we_o be_v of_o god_n only_o in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o of_o god_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o sanctification_n and_o redemption_n &_o eph._n 2.8.9_o by_o grace_n only_o be_v we_o save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o ourselves_o but_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o of_o work_n let_v it_o here_o be_v observe_v that_o faith_n be_v a_o create_a
