and_o in_o great_a part_n we_o be_v to_o appeal_v in_o our_o teach_v you_o so_o the_o more_o early_a christian_a teacher_n do_v 2._o not_o handle_v say_v they_o the_o word_n of_o god_n deceitful_o

your_o practice_n every_o day_n we_o may_v appeal_v to_o yourselves_o and_o your_o own_o conscience_n if_o we_o say_v to_o you_o ought_v you_o not_o to_o live_v according_a to_o his_o will_n that_o give_v you_o breath_n shall_v you_o not_o above_o all_o thing_n fear_v and_o love_n and_o trust_v and_o obey_v he_o that_o make_v you_o and_o all_o thing_n shall_v you_o not_o do_v as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o shall_v you_o not_o take_v more_o care_n for_o your_o immortal_a soul_n than_o for_o your_o mortal_a flesh_n you_o must_v every_o one_o say_v i_o believe_v in_o my_o own_o

thing_n and_o again_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n very_o capable_a of_o plain_a proof_n that_o those_o write_n which_o we_o call_v the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v from_o god_n our_o teach_v aught_o so_o far_o to_o be_v regard_v by_o you_o as_o 2._o we_o can_v manifest_v to_o you_o that_o it_o agree_v with_o the_o scripture_n and_o we_o be_v sure_o he_o will_v never_o teach_v you_o inward_o against_o what_o he_o have_v there_o teach_v will_v the_o god_n of_o truth_n say_v and_o unsay_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o overthrow_v the_o design_n of_o all_o his_o instruction_n and_o to_o

have_v here_o the_o same_o advantage_n at_o length_n though_o not_o so_o immediate_o upon_o your_o conscience_n which_o can_v but_o judge_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v find_v in_o that_o word_n which_o you_o confess_v to_o be_v divine_a must_v be_v most_o certain_o true_a and_o if_o within_o such_o limit_n you_o take_v the_o help_n of_o man_n for_o your_o instruction_n have_v yield_v yourselves_o
