much_o every_o day_n and_o therefore_o not_o only_a while_n as_o yet_o we_o live_v we_o must_v seek_v he_o but_o we_o must_v not_o neglect_v any_o time_n yea_o we_o must_v with_o expedition_n accept_v

after_o we_o have_v by_o faith_n work_v by_o charity_n apprehend_v christ_n we_o must_v not_o seek_v after_o any_o other_o faith_n no_o nor_o if_o we_o will_v follow_v the_o policy_n of_o some_o

without_o curiosity_n or_o distrust_v we_o ought_v to_o maintain_v even_o with_o the_o peril_n of_o our_o life_n as_o we_o have_v learn_v christ_n so_o let_v we_o go_v on_o root_v and_o ground_v in_o
