as_o other_o vain_a tie_n hold_v they_o i_o do_v shake_v off_o all_o these_o idle_a obligation_n &_o in_o imitation_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o of_o all_o holy_a man_n in_o succeed_a age_n i_o firm_o believe_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o all_o thing_n reveal_v in_o it_o be_v true_a and_o i_o believe_v that_o as_o god_n make_v the_o world_n for_o himself_o and_o his_o glory_n so_o and_o more_o eminent_o he_o direct_v his_o church_n to_o himself_o and_o his_o glory_n that_o be_v therefore_o the_o pure_a church_n of_o christ_n which_o cast_v all_o the_o glory_n upon_o god_n which_o lean_v and_o rely_v whole_o upon_o the_o most_o precious_a merit_n and_o passion_n of_o christ_n which_o cry_v to_o god_n only_o for_o help_v which_o be_v thorough_o obedient_a for_o god_n sake_n to_o lawful_a authority_n be_v it_o among_o heathen_n which_o do_v not_o permit_v and_o countenance_v sin_n by_o which_o only_a god_n be_v dishonour_v and_o she_o can_v be_v the_o clean_a spouse_n of_o christ_n which_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n be_v infallible_a perform_v the_o most_o high_a and_o most_o reverend_a act_n of_o religion_n upon_o uncertainty_n as_o pray_v absolute_o for_o a_o soul_n turn_v out_o of_o the_o body_n without_o a_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o her_o be_v a_o determinate_a friend_n or_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o worship_v that_o with_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n for_o god_n which_o if_o the_o priest_n be_v deficient_a in_o his_o intention_n or_o defective_a in_o his_o order_n be_v in_o her_o own_o opinion_n a_o creature_n and_o she_o be_v not_o the_o fair_a spouse_n which_o have_v lose_v her_o attractive_a beauty_n and_o which_o all_o jew_n and_o infidel_n hate_v and_o abhor_v just_o move_v at_o least_o with_o a_o notorious_a show_n of_o idolatry_n and_o therefore_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n as_o be_v free_a from_o these_o blemish_n and_o conformable_a to_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o this_o faith_n i_o stand_v ready_a to_o give_v up_o my_o sweet_a life_n and_o dear_a blood_n and_o if_o i_o die_v sudden_o to_o this_o faith_n i_o commend_v the_o state_n of_o my_o eternity_n a_o act_n of_o hope_n in_o god_n i_o do_v hope_n in_o god_n because_o he_o be_v infinite_o full_a of_o goodness_n and_o be_v like_o a_o nurse_n which_o suffer_v pain_n in_o her_o breast_n till_o she_o be_v ease_v of_o her_o milk_n because_o he_o be_v most_o able_a and_o most_o willing_a to_o help_v i_o because_o he_o have_v seal_v his_o love_n with_o most_o unbreakable_a promise_n and_o because_o he_o know_v the_o manifold_a change_n and_o chance_n of_o the_o world_n the_o particular_a hour_n of_o my_o death_n and_o the_o general_a day_n of_o judgement_n in_o all_o which_o i_o hope_v great_o this_o good_a and_o great_a god_n will_v deliver_v i_o a_o act_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n ay_o such_o a_o one_o in_o perfect_a health_n

foot_n all_o go_v behind_o i_o satan_n swear_v enemy_n of_o mankind_n and_o love_v god_n pure_o for_o himself_o for_o put_v the_o case_n he_o have_v not_o frame_v this_o world_n or_o be_v the_o
