for_o say_v he_o the_o great_a increase_n of_o papist_n that_o we_o daily_o hear_v of_o and_o the_o great_a decline_a of_o many_o who_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v any_o error_n that_o shall_v be_v

though_o religion_n have_v the_o magistrate_n to_o countenance_v it_o yet_o there_o be_v as_o much_o need_n of_o press_v this_o exhortation_n as_o ever_o there_o be_v namely_o to_o hold_v fast_o the_o

will_v give_v you_o some_o direction_n first_o if_o you_o will_v hold_v fast_o the_o truth_n that_o you_o have_v hear_v and_o receive_v get_v into_o christ_n root_v and_o establish_v in_o he_o brethren_n it_o be_v not_o all_o the_o learning_n in_o the_o world_n and_o ability_n that_o man_n can_v have_v that_o will_v enable_v he_o to_o hold_v out_o and_o hold_v fast_o the_o truth_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v if_o a_o time_n of_o trial_n come_v unless_o christ_n be_v his_o bottom_n and_o foundation_n unless_o christ_n be_v his_o strength_n if_o a_o man_n stand_v upon_o his_o own_o

therefore_o if_o you_o will_v hold_v fast_o the_o truth_n which_o you_o have_v receive_v and_o hear_v and_o not_o be_v beat_v off_o from_o they_o in_o the_o day_n of_o trial_n get_v into_o christ_n
