complete_a man_n and_o so_o may_v true_a religion_n and_o christianity_n subsist_v without_o the_o history_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o letter_n to_o wit_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o life_n of_o

a_o outward_a confession_n unto_o god_n waive_v the_o unaptness_n of_o the_o simile_n for_o no_o man_n can_v subsist_v without_o his_o skin_n without_o hand_n or_o foot_n he_o may_v i_o observe_v he_o here_o admit_v of_o a_o christianity_n without_o the_o history_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o letter_n what_o become_v then_o of_o his_o late_a position_n that_o if_o they_o be_v real_a christian_n they_o
