christian_a soldier_n be_v exhort_v yet_o many_o take_v a_o wrong_a way_n which_o bring_v little_a help_n namely_o to_o increase_v their_o faith_n by_o repentance_n whereas_o there_o be_v no_o sound_a repentance_n which_o come_v not_o from_o faith_n and_o therefore_o rather_o faith_n we_o must_v by_o our_o faith_n increase_v our_o repentance_n which_o as_o the_o fruit_n shall_v justify_v the_o
