declare_v which_o of_o the_o doctrine_n deliver_v in_o holy_a writ_n be_v and_o which_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v with_o a_o additional_a power_n to_o add_v other_o of_o his_o own_o

the_o presence_n of_o his_o disciple_n which_o be_v not_o write_v in_o this_o book_n so_o far_o his_o history_n be_v by_o his_o own_o confession_n concise_a but_o these_o say_v he_o be_v write_v

to_o be_v believe_v to_o make_v a_o man_n a_o christian_n i_o must_v desire_v he_o to_o show_v they_o to_o i_o in_o st._n john_n gospel_n or_o else_o to_o convince_v the_o world_n that_o st._n john_n

the_o first_o part_n of_o his_o discourse_n be_v to_o prove_v to_o the_o jew_n that_o what_o they_o have_v observe_v of_o extraordinary_a at_o that_o time_n among_o the_o disciple_n who_o speak_v

which_o be_v require_v explicit_o to_o be_v believe_v to_o make_v a_o man_n a_o christian_n here_o now_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o faith_n join_v in_o the_o same_o sermon_n with_o this_o fundamental_a
