up_o error_n in_o truth_n stead_n and_o give_v judgement_n against_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o life_n of_o who_o we_o testify_v and_o confess_v he_o before_o man_n and_o that_o with_o

all_o see_v the_o need_n of_o salvation_n for_o this_o be_v your_o great_a want_n who_o be_v from_o the_o light_n you_o want_v god_n salvation_n and_o so_o remain_v in_o your_o sin_n and_o in_o your_o

for_o if_o you_o neglect_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o your_o conscience_n you_o neglect_v your_o salvation_n and_o if_o you_o turn_v against_o the_o appearance_n of_o god_n in_o his_o people_n and_o conspire_v against_o the_o just_a and_o murder_v the_o innocent_a god_n will_v find_v you_o out_o and_o the_o hour_n of_o his_o judgement_n will_v come_v and_o his_o wrath_n will_v abide_v
