to_o hold_v that_o the_o light_n within_o be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n without_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o thereby_o not_o only_o exclude_v all_o outward_a help_n and_o mean_n of_o salvation_n

but_o all_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o i_o ever_o do_v hold_v that_o the_o light_n within_o be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n without_o any_o thing_n else_o for_o i_o do_v always_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v our_o entire_a and_o complete_a saviour_n in_o both_o respect_n viz._n both_o as_o he_o come_v outward_o in_o the_o flesh_n and_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o become_v a_o
