thou_o shall_v find_v mercy_n this_o kind_n of_o promise_n though_o it_o declare_v unto_o we_o god_n love_n which_o promise_v where_o he_o need_v not_o yet_o unto_o he_o that_o feel_v not_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o comfort_v that_o utter_o with_o the_o law_n they_o bring_v man_n to_o great_a despair_n so_o great_o we_o be_v corrupt_v for_o none_o so_o love_v god_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v from_o these_o therefore_o get_v thou_o to_o the_o other_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o which_o we_o may_v see_v such_o plenty_n and_o

the_o condition_n of_o our_o worthiness_n as_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n do_v but_o they_o depend_v and_o hang_v on_o god_n truth_n that_o as_o god_n be_v true_a so_o they_o can_v but_o be_v

speech_n if_o minister_n do_v their_o duty_n in_o catechise_a &_o preach_v then_o doubtless_o to_o call_v the_o sacrament_n christ_n body_n &_o to_o esteem_v it_o according_o can_v not_o geve_v

but_o rather_o yea_o altogether_o to_o communicate_v with_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n for_o else_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v as_o paul_n say_v they_o have_v house_n of_o their_o own_o the_o
