receive_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o spirit_n their_o faith_n never_o fail_v in_o doctrine_n and_o judgement_n so_o neither_o in_o the_o work_n of_o miracle_n orthodoxus_n a_o man_n may_v perceive_v by_o your_o manner_n of_o writing_n that_o you_o mean_v to_o turn_v ere_o you_o burn_v yea_o and_o when_o you_o have_v turn_v yourself_o beside_o all_o manner_n of_o turn_n that_o then_o you_o will_v

thereupon_o they_o need_v prayer_n and_o fast_v to_o stir_v up_o and_o strengthen_v the_o same_o yet_o after_o the_o fullness_n of_o spirit_n as_o their_o faith_n
never_o fail_v in_o doctrine_n or_o judgement_n so_o neither_o in_o the_o work_n of_o miracle_n this_o seem_v a_o irrefragable_a reason_n no_o doubt_n and_o such_o a_o one_o i_o believe_v as_o may_v not_o possible_o be_v shake_v well_o be_v it_o suppose_v that_o after_o the_o apostle_n receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n their_o faith_n fail_v sometime_o in_o doctrine_n or_o judgement_n than_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a their_o say_a faith_n it_o may_v also_o fail_v at_o sometime_o in_o the_o work_n of_o miracle_n that_o the_o apostle_n at_o sometime_o fail_v in_o the_o first_o it_o be_v very_o

the_o apostle_n faith_n fail_v direct_o in_o these_o it_o may_v fail_v much_o more_o in_o the_o work_n of_o miracle_n howbeit_o because_o you_o seem_v so_o confident_a in_o this_o one_o assertion_n
