at_o this_o time_n first_o this_o i_o have_v often_o experience_v that_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n true_o and_o right_o to_o believe_v it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o believe_v notion_n concern_v god_n and_o concern_v christ_n but_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n to_o believe_v in_o christ_n to_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n to_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n life_n and_o power_n which_o flow_v from_o jesus_n this_o indeed_o be_v hard_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a darkness_n and_o ignorance_n which_o man_n be_v fall_v into_o through_o transgression_n second_o i_o have_v experience_v this_o also_o that_o faith_n be_v god_n gift_n and_o that_o it_o flow_v from_o the_o power_n of_o his_o life_n there_o be_v first_o a_o quicken_a first_o a_o touch_v of_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o holy_a pure_a power_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o when_o a_o man_n be_v touch_v and_o quicken_v then_o in_o and_o by_o and_o through_o that_o virtue_n which_o flow_v into_o he_o he_o can_v believe_v in_o that_o which_o touch_v and_o quicken_v he_o three_o that_o faith_n never_o stand_v in_o a_o man_n own_o power_n but_o always_o in_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o the_o life_n of_o the_o son_n so_o that_o he_o that_o will_v believe_v aright_o must_v wait_v to_o feel_v the_o life_n of_o the_o son_n reveal_v in_o he_o and_o faith_n flow_v therefrom_o for_o the_o

four_o i_o have_v observe_v this_o in_o my_o travel_n that_o the_o earthly_a wisdom_n and_o notion_n there_o from_o get_v into_o the_o mind_n and_o hold_v in_o the_o mind_n out_o of_o the_o sense_n

may_v be_v all_o in_o the_o heart_n man_n be_v to_o die_v man_n be_v to_o be_v cease_v from_o his_o understanding_n his_o wisdom_n be_v to_o be_v bring_v to_o nought_o but_o after_o it_o have_v have_v a_o stroke_n and_o wound_n from_o god_n holy_a spirit_n and_o power_n even_o the_o very_a wound_n which_o tend_v to_o death_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v get_v life_n again_o get_v its_o deadly_a wound_n
