be_v forgeven_v he_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v ready_a at_o hand_n namely_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v promise_v thou_o to_o accept_v thou_o for_o righteous_a through_o the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n if_o thou_o believe_v not_o that_o thou_o be_v become_v righteous_a through_o he_o thou_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n and_o consequent_o thou_o make_v thyself_o

before_o the_o lord_n god_n who_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o intent_n and_o hereuppon_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o predestination_n work_v rather_o good_a than_o harm_n
