repentance_n without_o assurance_n of_o the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n without_o a_o sound_a resolution_n to_o live_v a_o lively_a member_n of_o christ_n without_o meditation_n of_o the_o

that_o we_o confess_v and_o join_v together_o in_o this_o that_o the_o outward_a action_n perform_v as_o well_o by_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o have_v a_o relation_n to_o some_o other_o thing_n

they_o both_o wherefore_o the_o action_n and_o work_n of_o the_o minister_n be_v minister_n be_v four_o action_n of_o the_o minister_n fourfold_a first_o to_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n into_o
