take_v notice_n 1._o that_o acknowledgement_n to_o unquestionable_a truth_n such_o as_o call_v he_o lord_n that_o be_v the_o unquestionable_a lord_n and_o god_n and_o pray_v to_o he_o as_o the_o

the_o kingdom_n thus_o much_o from_o christ_n himself_o in_o vindication_n of_o the_o first_o proposition_n next_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o his_o apostle_n as_o well_o as_o the_o gentile_n say_v to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n see_v 1_o cor._n 13._o where_o he_o tell_v of_o gift_n as_o prophecy_n tongue_n knowledge_n of_o all_o mystery_n hospitality_n towards_o the_o poor_a and_o faith_n to_o

plain_o understand_v i_o add_v that_o by_o holiness_n i_o mean_v such_o a_o strict_a awful_a and_o circumspect_a life_n as_o with_o detestation_n and_o abhorrence_n shun_v those_o path_n that_o lead_v
