of_o repentance_n when_o as_o christ_n do_v define_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v of_o repentance_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o name_n sin_n he_o set_v forth_o two_o thing_n unto_o

salvation_n and_o eternal_a life_n hereof_o it_o easy_o appear_v that_o nothing_o be_v more_o necessary_a for_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n than_o to_o understande_v wherein_o true_a repentance_n
