of_o our_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o first_o step_n or_o degree_n to_o salvation_n as_o in_o the_o sickness_n of_o the_o body_n it_o be_v needful_a above_o all_o thing_n for_o the_o recover_n of_o

be_v utter_o contrary_a to_o this_o aforesaid_a for_o it_o afflyet_v we_o because_o it_o declare_v to_o we_o our_o damnation_n by_o the_o law_n and_o how_o the_o hell_n be_v open_a to_o devour_v us._n

our_o spirit_n believe_v that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n free_o in_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o true_a for_o the_o devil_n know_v also_o that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v most_o true_a and_o yet_o therefore_o be_v not_o save_v but_o also_o that_o it_o appertain_v to_o we_o and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o be_v call_v faith_n the_o which_o be_v so_o high_o commend_v in_o the_o

we_o into_o jesus_n christ_n as_o be_v say_v before_o and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n can_v not_o be_v idle_a within_o we_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o same_o holy_a ghost_n which_o engender_v faith_n in_o we_o as_o be_v say_v do_v sanctify_v our_o heart_n that_o be_v to_o say_v do_v consecrate_v we_o to_o god_n now_o this_o sanctyfication_n have_v two_o part_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o

we_o to_o begin_v to_o will_n and_o to_o do_v cheerful_o and_o couragiouslye_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o know_v do_v please_v god_n now_o this_o abolysh_n be_v first_o begin_v in_o the_o

then_o after_o in_o the_o will_n which_o be_v consecrate_v to_o god_n in_o such_o wise_n that_o it_o hate_v sin_n not_o for_o the_o pain_n but_o for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o love_v ryghteousnesse_n not_o because_o of_o reward_n but_o because_o that_o righteousness_n of_o itself_o please_v god_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v not_o yet_o death_n appoint_v and_o prepare_v for_o sinner_n or_o eternal_a life_n appoint_v and_o prepare_v for_o those_o which_o study_v to_o do_v ryghteousnes_n yet_o have_v he_o rather_o for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o follow_v righteousness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o serve_v god_n holy_o &_o to_o love_v his_o neighbour_n as_o his_o law_n command_v and_o to_o endure_v and_o suffer_v all_o manner_n of_o pain_n for_o his_o name_n sake_n then_o to_o serve_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o covetousness_n wherefore_o to_o the_o end_n that_o i_o may_v gather_v all_o sumary_o together_o how_o only_o in_o jesus_n christ_n we_o find_v all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n likewise_o only_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o ap_o jesus_n christ_n to_o ourselves_o by_o faith_n but_o because_o this_o faith_n in_o the_o beginning_n be_v very_o small_a in_o we_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o it_o be_v increase_v in_o we_o daily_o wherefore_o now_o we_o must_v declare_v by_o what_o entertainment_n or_o mean_v it_o be_v noorysh_v for_o to_o increase_v more_o and_o more_o in_o us._n first_o as_o it_o be_v create_v in_o we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n through_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n ▪_o which_o be_v sow_v in_o our_o
