and_o when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o any_o perfection_n they_o be_v either_o wind-shaken_a and_o devour_v by_o beast_n or_o smite_v with_o persecution_n then_o be_v they_o buy_v and_o sell_v and_o

do_v prove_v that_o sap_n be_v in_o the_o tree_n so_o all_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o elect_a whether_o they_o perishin_fw-mi the_o bud_n or_o in_o the_o blossom_n or_o in_o the_o ripen_n or_o

they_o doubt_v of_o themselves_o because_o perhaps_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o fruit_n as_o they_o have_v or_o so_o much_o as_o other_o have_v but_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o they_o

or_o in_o hypocrisy_n must_v be_v the_o question_n that_o as_o man_n say_v of_o fruit_n this_o be_v but_o little_a but_o it_o be_v good_a here_o be_v not_o many_o of_o they_o but_o those_o that_o be_v of_o they_o be_v very_o dainty_a they_o be_v right_a of_o such_o and_o such_o a_o kind_n so_o the_o child_n of_o god_n may_v say_v my_o faith_n be_v but_o little_a and_o weak_a my_o love_n be_v not_o

now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n we_o have_v hear_v who_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n how_o this_o title_n be_v give_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n how_o to_o angel_n and_o
