only_o to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n &_o indeed_o my_o heart_n do_v assent_v unto_o it_o immediate_o so_o that_o i_o go_v home_o with_o abundance_n of_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o believe_v and_o

as_o the_o same_o apostle_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v there_o be_v a_o faith_n that_o be_v not_o feign_v 1.5_o so_o doubtless_o there_o be_v a_o faith_n that_o be_v feign_v and_o sure_o when_o
