life_n and_o without_o the_o gospel_n 32._o the_o truth_n and_o glad_a riding_n whereof_o be_v only_o able_a to_o set_v at_o liberty_n the_o conscience_n of_o such_o as_o be_v strangle_v by_o the_o

i_o that_o i_o do_v the_o author_n of_o the_o book_n open_a wrong_n in_o say_v that_o he_o join_v not_o the_o gospel_n with_o the_o law_n for_o he_o that_o read_v it_o may_v find_v that_o he_o speak_v

he_o do_v not_o teach_v the_o gospel_n neither_o in_o that_o book_n do_v plain_o and_o sound_o guide_v the_o wander_a soul_n which_o see_v itself_o lose_v to_o find_v remission_n of_o his_o sin_n

to_o build_v upon_o that_o foundation_n good_a work_n and_o virtuous_a life_n as_o holy_a scripture_n command_v we_o to_o do_v here_o he_o affirm_v that_o good_a life_n come_v from_o faith_n thus_o while_o he_o speak_v such_o contrary_n sometime_o that_o good_a work_n must_v be_v build_v on_o the_o foundation_n of_o faith_n and_o with_o a_o other_o breath_n that_o good_a life_n be_v the_o

the_o simple_a reader_n while_o he_o not_o be_v able_a to_o understand_v what_o be_v teach_v can_v possible_o practice_v that_o which_o he_o ought_v and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v to_o

and_o yet_o can_v in_o eighteen_o year_n find_v a_o time_n to_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v i_o say_v but_o that_o he_o be_v well_o content_a to_o deceive_v and_o

of_o thousand_o and_o shall_v come_v no_o more_o in_o eighteen_o year_n to_o help_v they_o out_o of_o fear_n and_o doubt_n and_o how_o to_o live_v afterward_o it_o will_v be_v condemn_v and_o that_o
