no_o nor_o half_a you_o must_v therefore_o here_o remember_v a_o rule_n give_v by_o divine_n that_o in_o scripture_n word_n of_o knowledge_n in_o matter_n between_o god_n and_o man_n do_v imply_v

in_o his_o merit_n there_o be_v a_o absolute_a all_o sufficiency_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o everlasting_a life_n 2._o that_o he_o be_v a_o saviour_n free_o give_v of_o god_n and_o give_v himself_o unto_o we_o he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n free_o no_o man_n have_v power_n to_o take_v it_o from_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o free_o give_v his_o flesh_n for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o the_o sacrament_n he_o free_o offer_v himself_o to_o every_o believer_n to_o be_v receive_v and_o embrace_v by_o he_o both_o these_o be_v strong_a motive_n to_o quicken_v our_o faith_n in_o
