household_n of_o faith_n a_o religionist_n a_o christian_a a_o heir_n and_o child_n of_o god_n but_o he_o that_o have_v not_o such_o a_o faith_n nor_o suffer_v the_o fruit_n of_o love_n to_o grow_v and_o blossom_n in_o a_o right_n godly_a and_o not_o seeming-ho_o way_n or_o nature_n he_o know_v neither_o of_o faith_n religion_n nor_o christianity_n yea_o of_o no_o god_n in_o truth_n though_o

yet_o be_v he_o in_o god_n sight_n a_o unbeliever_n a_o miserable_a and_o contemnable_a man_n for_o he_o have_v not_o in_o he_o the_o live_a power_n of_o the_o live_a faith_n which_o always_o be_v fruitful_a in_o love_n therefore_o he_o talk_v and_o prate_v much_o of_o faith_n and_o its_o righteousness_n yet_o he_o know_v not_o what_o either_o faith_n or_o faith_n work_n be_v while_o he_o do_v

and_o do_v sign_n and_o wonder_n but_o fulfil_v and_o accomplish_v not_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o power_n all_o these_o be_v but_o external_a plasterer_n external_a crier_n and_o seeker_n of_o
