of_o fire_n acconrd_v as_o i_o have_v say_v heretofore_o and_o by_o this_o holy_a faith_n which_o embrace_v jesu_n christ_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v join_v with_o christ_n

this_o be_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o they_o i_o know_v well_o that_o some_o man_n in_o expound_v these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n say_v that_o although_o he_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v without_o sin_n yet_o he_o know_v not_o whether_o he_o be_v righteous_a to_o godward_o or_o no_o according_a as_o david_n affirm_v that_o no_o man_n can_v perfect_o know_v his_o own_o sin_n 5._o but_o these_o man_n perceive_v not_o that_o s._n paul_n ground_v not_o righteousness_n upon_o work_v but_o upon_o faith_n and_o that_o he_o utter_o refuse_v his_o own_o righteousness_n to_o embrace_v only_o the_o righteousness_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n 3._o also_o they_o consider_v not_o y_z ●_o he_o be_v most_o certain_a to_o be_v accept_v for_o

love_v too_o the_o new_a testament_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n witness_v when_o he_o say_v to_o the_o roman_n you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n too_o fear_n but_o you_o

all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n by_o these_o and_o many_o other_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n a_o man_n may_v plain_o gather_v that_o the_o painful_a and_o slavish_a fearfulness_n agree_v not_o with_o a_o christian_a and_o this_o be_v already_o confirm_v by_o this_o that_o such_o manner_n of_o fearfulness_n be_v utter_o contrary_a to_o the_o spiritual_a chéerefulnesse_n and_o
