special_a interest_n in_o christ_n &_o that_o you_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o his_o merit_n since_o thousand_o shall_v perish_v which_o will_v say_v as_o much_o as_o you_o and_o in_o word_n make_v

and_o inward_a assurance_n of_o god_n particular_a love_n to_o we_o in_o christ_n with_o a_o sense_n and_o feel_v of_o the_o same_o in_o our_o heart_n father_n may_v not_o this_o be_v in_o the_o

go_v so_o far_o and_o further_a too_o for_o the_o devil_n do_v believe_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v true_a they_o believe_v all_o the_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n they_o have_v exceed_a great_a
