to_o deliver_v other_o from_o sin_n and_o teach_v the_o way_n of_o life_n and_o this_o be_v jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n to_o who_o all_o power_n be_v give_v both_o in_o

together_o with_o the_o work_n and_o effect_n thereof_o say_v add_v to_o your_o faith_n virtue_n and_o to_o your_o virtue_n knowledge_n and_o to_o your_o knowledge_n temperance_n and_o to_o

in_o you_o they_o will_v make_v you_o that_o you_o shall_v neither_o be_v barren_a nor_o unfruitful_a in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n but_o he_o that_o lack_v these_o thing_n be_v blind_a and_o can_v see_v afar_o off_o and_o have_v forget_v that_o he_o be_v purge_v from_o his_o old_a sin_n wherefore_o the_o rather_o brethren_n give_v all_o diligence_n to_o make_v your_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a for_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o you_o you_o shall_v never_o fail_v s._n peter_n speak_v of_o a_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n which_o do_v not_o only_o procure_v unto_o a_o man_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o his_o sin_n by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n but_o also_o effect_v that_o as_o before_o be_v yield_v his_o member_n as_o weapon_n of_o unrighteousness_n unto_o sin_n so_o hereafter_o he_o may_v give_v they_o as_o instrument_n of_o righteousness_n to_o do_v well_o and_o because_o s._n peter_n in_o this_o place_n do_v describe_v a_o certain_a ladder_n to_o salvation_n i_o purpose_v to_o make_v it_o plain_a whereby_o we_o may_v more_o evident_o perceive_v by_o which_o step_n we_o may_v ascend_v to_o the_o top_n thereof_o lest_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v content_a to_o stand_v only_o upon_o the_o first_o step_n and_o yet_o think_v he_o have_v attain_v tosalvation_n from_o which_o he_o be_v distant_a many_o degree_n therefore_o according_a to_o s._n peter_n faith_n bring_v forth_o virtue_n that_o be_v strength_n and_o ability_n to_o perform_v those_o thing_n which_o thou_o believe_v be_v to_o be_v do_v as_o so_o teach_v from_o god_n as_o for_o example_n christ_n command_v we_o to_o love_v our_o enemy_n and_o to_o do_v good_a to_o they_o which_o do_v evil_a to_o we_o now_o there_o be_v some_o who_o believe_v that_o this_o can_v be_v do_v again_o they_o hate_v their_o enemy_n and_o do_v they_o all_o mischief_n other_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v by_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o do_v good_a to_o their_o enemy_n consider_v all_o sect_n and_o kind_n of_o man_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o those_o who_o believe_v it_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v do_v do_v act_v the_o same_o and_o that_o christ_n who_o have_v give_v they_o power_n to_o believe_v have_v give_v they_o power_n also_o to_o perform_v his_o commandment_n for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v in_o vain_a that_o all_o thing_n be_v possible_a to_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o this_o i_o say_v general_o of_o all_o other_o precept_n of_o christ_n as_o thou_o believe_v say_v christ_n so_o be_v it_o to_o thou_o this_o be_v general_o to_o be_v take_v look_v how_o much_o faith_n any_o one_o have_v and_o so_o much_o strength_n of_o virtue_n he_o have_v also_o and_o virtue_n begete_v knowledge_n for_o true_a knowledge_n consist_v

certain_o know_v may_v have_v be_v perform_v example_n hereof_o we_o have_v in_o caleb_n and_o joshua_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o israelite_n who_o do_v overcome_v the_o canaanite_n for_o than_o do_v they_o certain_o know_v that_o those_o may_v be_v overcome_v as_o they_o have_v before_o believe_v but_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o israelite_n who_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o this_o can_v be_v do_v can_v not_o do_v it_o and_o again_o they_o know_v it_o not_o so_o at_o this_o day_n such_o as_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o such_o a_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n as_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o beat_v down_o the_o power_n of_o the_o serpent_n under_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o faithful_a those_o man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o resist_v sin_n therefore_o they_o know_v not_o how_o it_o may_v be_v do_v and_o therefore_o deny_v it_o but_o those_o who_o believe_v can_v do_v it_o by_o faith_n and_o know_v certain_o that_o it_o may_v be_v do_v and_o again_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v true_a knowledge_n bring_v forth_o temperance_n for_o a_o man_n confirm_v with_o this_o knowledge_n go_v forward_o to_o the_o mark_n hope_v for_o the_o same_o success_n in_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o
