all_o thing_n that_o be_v there_o be_v not_o equal_o of_o faith_n many_o of_o they_o be_v not_o absolute_a and_o necessary_a but_o only_o occasional_a and_o accidental_a object_n of_o faith_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v as_o for_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v great_a mystery_n of_o our_o religion_n but_o they_o be_v not_o point_n of_o mere_a faith_n
