can_v believe_v no_o such_o thing_n if_o i_o will_v never_o so_o fain_o on_o the_o contrary_a i_o do_v believe_v that_o there_o never_o be_v any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o have_v the_o

require_v now_o of_o we_o under_o the_o gospel_n until_o the_o prophecy_n which_o the_o jew_n have_v be_v accomplish_v by_o he_o that_o be_v till_o after_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n we_o be_v sure_o the_o apostle_n know_v nothing_o of_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n and_o consequent_o of_o his_o satisfaction_n and_o merit_n thereby_o though_o christ_n do_v more_o than_o once_o tell_v they_o of_o it_o for_o indeed_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o under_o that_o dispensation_n as_o they_o shall_v believe_v it_o and_o when_o the_o disciple_n understand_v nothing_o thereof_o for_o all_o the_o scripture_n how_o can_v you_o believe_v that_o other_o do_v or_o can_v understand_v their_o mean_v before_o these_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v you_o ask_v in_o your_o book_n who_o teach_v

one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o so_o much_o in_o their_o day_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o their_o salvation_n by_o such_o way_n and_o mean_n as_o he_o think_v best_a but_o such_o a_o faith_n and_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o salvation_n of_o a_o christian_a that_o be_v one_o to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v and_o receive_v i_o do_v by_o no_o mean_n
