1._o many_o do_v affirm_v that_o the_o outward_a professor_n have_v no_o true_a grace_n at_o all_o neither_o faith_n hope_n nor_o charity_n but_o only_o a_o show_n and_o a_o appearance_n of_o grace_n

therefore_o consider_v what_o the_o scripture_n say_v ezech._n 18._o that_o the_o righteous_a may_v leave_v his_o righteousness_n that_o the_o charity_n of_o many_o shall_v wax_v cold_a mat._n 24._o
