peace_n and_o public_a good_a theol._n these_o few_o then_o brief_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o belong_v to_o our_o peace_n peace_n ten_o thing_n concern_v our_o peace_n let_v solomon_n

that_o which_o you_o touch_v by_o the_o way_n and_o make_v some_o mention_n of_o namely_o the_o sign_n of_o salvation_n and_o damnation_n and_o declare_v unto_o we_o plain_o whether_o the_o state_n of_o a_o man_n soul_n before_o god_n may_v not_o by_o certain_a sign_n and_o token_n be_v certain_o discern_v in_o this_o life_n theol._n beside_o those_o which_o befor●_n have_v be_v mention_v we_o

and_o a_o hole_n may_v be_v pick_v in_o some_o of_o these_o evidence_n i_o will_v therefore_o hear_v of_o some_o such_o demonstrative_a and_o infallible_a evidence_n as_o no_o lawyer_n can_v find_v
