be_v lively_a and_o not_o idle_a wherefore_o faith_n be_v such_o a_o effectual_a lyvely_a quick_a and_o mighty_a operation_n in_o our_o heart_n that_o it_o can_v be_v idle_a but_o must_v needs_o

strength_n &_o merit_n for_o as_o no_o man_n can_v see_v that_o lyvely_a operation_n that_o be_v faith_n of_o our_o heart_n but_o only_o god_n so_o no_o man_n can_v repel_v from_o himself_o that_o

for_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n as_o also_o christ_n himself_o in_o the_o iii_o ch._n of_o john_n do_v call_v flesh_n whatsoever_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v the_o whole_a man_n
