even_o the_o best_a of_o they_o be_v sinful_a and_o blaspheme_v the_o gospel-power_n and_o spirit_n and_o may_v as_o well_o and_o as_o confident_o call_v christ_n a_o ●…ctual_a sinner_n in_o the_o

a_o copy_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a paper_n to_o jeremy_n suift_n follow_v to_o you_o that_o think_v william_n haworth_n to_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n how_o do_v you_o relish_v this_o
