hope_v the_o author_n will_v not_o deny_v the_o truth_n of_o these_o scripture_n and_o if_o these_o promise_n be_v fulfil_v in_o any_o man_n what_o need_n have_v such_o of_o scripture_n reach_v

for_o i_o assure_v he_o he_o be_v none_o himself_o and_o i_o believe_v they_o be_v very_o scarce_o where_o he_o live_v i_o much_o doubt_n that_o neither_o himself_o nor_o his_o fellow-worshipper_n

will_v clear_v both_o the_o author_n and_o his_o fellow_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o apostasy_n but_o what_o better_a be_v they_o that_o believe_v a_o lie_n in_o stead_n of_o truth_n than_o those_o who_o have_v know_v the_o truth_n and_o yet_o turn_v from_o it_o see_v the_o author_n have_v take_v pain_n to_o quote_v scripture_n and_o time_n to_o apply_v these_o scripture_n for_o the_o asperse_n of_o a_o people_n more_o simple_a than_o himself_o or_o any_o of_o his_o fellowship_n i_o will_v wish_v he_o to_o have_v a_o care_n that_o he_o be_v not_o like_o those_o that_o as_o yet_o have_v the_o

that_o be_v not_o condemn_v in_o the_o thing_n he_o allow_v it_o be_v true_a the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o such_o deceiver_n as_o shall_v come_v and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n begin_v
