may_v soon_o deceive_v himself_o and_o think_v in_o his_o own_o fantasy_n that_o he_o by_o faith_n know_v god_n love_v he_o fear_v he_o and_o belong_v to_o he_o when_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o do_v

in_o sin_n for_o than_o your_o ungodly_a and_o sinful_a life_n declare_v the_o contrary_a whatsoever_o you_o say_v or_o think_v it_o pertain_v to_o a_o christian_a man_n to_o have_v this_o true_a

that_o we_o can_v trust_v to_o the_o world_n and_o all_o that_o be_v therein_o be_v but_o vanity_n it_o be_v god_n that_o must_v be_v our_o defence_n and_o protection_n against_o all_o temptation_n

therefore_o let_v we_o set_v our_o whole_a faith_n and_o trust_n in_o god_n and_o neither_o the_o world_n the_o devil_n nor_o all_o the_o power_n of_o they_o shall_v prevail_v against_o we_o let_v we_o therefore_o good_a christian_a poople_n try_v and_o examine_v our_o faith_n what_o it_o be_v let_v we_o not_o flatter_v ourselves_o but_o look_v upon_o our_o work_n and_o so_o judge_v of_o our_o

thereby_o declare_v our_o faith_n to_o be_v the_o lively_a christian_n faith_n let_v we_o by_o such_o virtue_n as_o aught_o to_o spring_v out_o of_o faith_n show_v our_o election_n to_o be_v sure_a and_o stable_a as_o st._n peter_n teach_v 1._o 2_o pet._n 1._o endeavour_v yourselves_o to_o make_v your_o call_n and_o election_n certain_a by_o good_a work_n and_o also_o he_o say_v minister_n or_o

otherwise_o thy_o faith_n be_v without_o good_a work_v be_v but_o the_o devil_n faith_n the_o faith_n of_o the_o wicked_a a_o fantasy_n of_o faith_n and_o not_o a_o true_a christian_n faith_n and_o like_v as_o the_o devil_n and_o evil_a people_n be_v nothing_o the_o better_a for_o their_o counterfeit_a faith_n but_o it_o be_v unto_o they_o the_o more_o cause_n of_o damnation_n so_o they_o that_o

the_o fruit_n that_o do_v belong_v to_o such_o a_o high_a profession_n upon_o such_o presumptuous_a person_n and_o wilful_a sinner_n must_v needs_o remain_v the_o great_a vengeance_n of_o god_n and_o

mark_v the_o increase_n of_o love_n and_o charity_n by_o it_o towards_o god_n and_o your_o neighbour_n and_o so_o shall_v you_o perceive_v it_o to_o be_v a_o true_a lively_a faith_n if_o you_o feel_v
