reason_n that_o i_o have_v give_v i_o still_o believe_v that_o such_o have_v little_a comfort_n in_o come_v nor_o their_o pastor_n in_o admit_v unless_o they_o be_v bring_v to_o acknowledgement_n and_o promise_v of_o amendment_n and_o in_o such_o case_n where_o there_o be_v any_o such_o work_n or_o willingness_n profess_v this_o be_v a_o further_o engage_v ordinance_n and_o lay_v yet_o a_o

of_o god_n to_o salvation_n than_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o the_o grace_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v require_v in_o our_o attendance_n on_o all_o ordinance_n appoint_v of_o
