faith_n we_o must_v remember_v that_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n &_o not_o the_o gift_n or_o quality_n itself_o be_v signify_v we_o jew_n say_v the_o apostle_n who_o 16._o gal._n 2._o 16._o know_v

hereof_o if_o we_o call_v to_o mind_n &_o observe_v both_o that_o our_o evangelist_n saint_n john_n always_o urge_v believe_v and_o not_o once_o mention_n faith_n in_o so_o many_o place_n where_o this_o matter_n be_v speak_v of_o even_o diverse_a time_n in_o some_o one_o chapter_n and_o also_o that_o our_o lord_n himself_o do_v most_o common_o in_o all_o the_o other_o evangelist_n follow_v the_o same_o course_n and_o wheresoever_o he_o give_v any_o commendation_n to_o faith_n it_o be_v manifest_a he_o do_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o act_n thereof_o i_o have_v not_o find_v say_v he_o of_o the_o centurion_n 10._o mat._n 8._o 10._o so_o great_a faith_n in_o israel_n how_o great_a faith_n as_o to_o rest_v upon_o the_o very_a word_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o cure_n of_o a_o sick_a
