and_o absolution_n on_o they_o shall_v recite_v it_o to_o all_o even_o as_o a_o judge_n do_v recite_v all_o that_o by_o which_o the_o person_n be_v absolve_v so_o christ_n do_v here_o show_v that_o their_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o dead_a faith_n but_o a_o live_n say_v that_o do_v work_v by_o love_n and_o carry_v they_o to_o obedience_n to_o god_n so_o that_o this_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o their_o justification_n before_o the_o whole_a world_n again_o they_o will_v urge_v scripture_n as_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o worship_n yea_o though_o they_o have_v no_o word_n of_o god_n for_o it_o yet_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o their_o ceremony_n be_v for_o the_o beautify_v and_o adorn_v of_o the_o church_n and_o for_o decency_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n that_o thing_n be_v not_o to_o

the_o minister_n of_o christ_n hold_v forth_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n have_v nothing_o of_o man_n to_o lay_v hold_v on_o for_o corrupt_a doctrine_n do_v suit_n with_o corrupt_a nature_n such_o a_o
