that_o we_o dare_v boldlye_o say_v that_o where_o this_o confession_n be_v not_o doubteles_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n at_o all_o as_o the_o apostell_n saint_a paul_n witness_v rom._n rom._n say_v

speak_v of_o he_o and_o also_o he_o know_v it_o better_o than_o the_o apostel_n can_v tell_v he_o that_o where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v there_o must_v needs_o arise_v many_o lie_n which_o be_v

they_o therefore_o needs_o must_v it_o be_v that_o christ_n apose_v his_o disciple_n seek_v some_o other_o thing_n at_o his_o apostel_n that_o be_v to_o sai_o their_o confession_n of_o faith_n as_o

do_v good_a work_v that_o i_o can_v confess_v christ_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v in_o this_o place_n needs_o must_v i_o let_v flesh_n continue_v as_o flesh_n and_o blood_n as_o blood_n so_o the_o
