can_v hinder_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o perceive_v what_o be_v speak_v but_o his_o malice_n only_o in_o the_o first_o sense_n the_o revelation_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o

how_o then_o can_v they_o be_v save_v in_o the_o second_o place_n iâ—_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o save_v as_o clear_o know_v but_o as_o he_o be_v sincere_o acknowledge_v but_o when_o the_o revelation_n be_v spare_v and_o dark_a no_o man_n can_v deny_v that_o christ_n be_v true_o and_o unfeigned_o acknowledge_v in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o word_n of_o
