second_o between_o the_o spirit_n and_o faith_n subdiu._n 2._o the_o circle_n between_o the_o spirit_n and_o faith_n second_o that_o they_o commit_v another_o the_o like_a circle_n between_o their_o

ask_v a_o protestant_n how_o he_o know_v his_o election_n he_o must_v and_o do_v answer_v by_o scripture_n which_o be_v his_o only_a mean_n to_o secure_v he_o of_o his_o faith_n and_o election_n therefore_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o scripture_n must_v be_v first_o know_v before_o either_o spirit_n faith_n or_o election_n can_v be_v know_v and_o assure_v because_o it_o be_v the_o only_a
