and_o now_o i_o hope_v though_o this_o my_o discourse_n be_v very_o imperfect_a yet_o it_o will_v not_o be_v altogether_o impertinent_a or_o unprofitable_a for_o this_o one_o point_n that_o faith_n in_o christ_n crucify_v be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o the_o scripture_n well_o consider_v must_v needs_o give_v very_o much_o light_n to_o the_o read_n of_o every_o part_n thereof_o it_o will_v be_v

thereof_o and_o this_o make_v i_o call_v to_o mind_n what_o i_o forget_v even_o now_o that_o the_o red_a thread_n that_o rahab_n hang_v out_o of_o her_o window_n when_o jericho_n be_v besiege_v be_v a_o emblem_n of_o christ_n crucify_a by_o who_o all_o the_o faithful_a must_v be_v save_v from_o eternal_a death_n as_o she_o be_v then_o preserve_v from_o present_a destruction_n much_o bettet_n

which_o phidias_n make_v for_o as_o in_o it_o he_o have_v so_o curious_o intrailed_a his_o own_o name_n that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v take_v out_o without_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o whole_a
