of_o his_o care_n of_o we_o and_o of_o all_o our_o affair_n to_o conduct_v they_o happy_o according_a as_o our_o good_a and_o salvation_n require_v it_o follow_v that_o this_o faith_n be_v propound_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o evangelicall_n promise_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n whereupon_o we_o must_v note_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o subject_n and_o principal_a foundation_n upon_o the_o which_o faith_n be_v build_v be_v not_o the_o law_n nor_o the_o commandment_n which_o propound_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o curse_n upon_o those_o that_o transgress_v they_o nor_o yet_o the_o

wherefore_o the_o faithful_a man_n must_v not_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o the_o law_n or_o to_o threaten_n of_o god_n to_o assure_v himself_o of_o his_o grace_n and_o by_o consequent_a of_o his_o

and_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n the_o word_n of_o faith_n the_o which_o be_v preach_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o the_o 4._o he_o say_v it_o more_o express_o therefore_o by_o
have_v do_v or_o suffer_v for_o we_o and_o in_o general_a all_o that_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o to_o believe_v and_o whereupon_o we_o ought_v to_o ground_n and_o settle_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o
