to_o life_n everlasting_a but_o he_o that_o believe_v by_o a_o special_a mercy_n to_o he_o in_o particular_a his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o that_o he_o be_v elect_v for_o without_o that_o there_o be_v no_o remission_n the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o think_v be_v too_o general_a without_o life_n and_o common_a to_o the_o devil_n who_o believe_v and_o tremble_v they_o be_v believer_n and_o quaker_n too_o and_o yet_o be_v devil_n i_o can_v say_v how_o much_o of_o the_o gospel_n they_o believe_v but_o by_o their_o tremble_n and_o their_o own_o confession_n
