after_o they_o have_v full_o believe_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o they_o at_o jerusalem_n in_o that_o vessel_n and_o many_o other_o scripture_n do_v he_o open_v to_o i_o as_o i_o learn_v he_o

as_o they_o come_v to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o i_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n in_o that_o work_n of_o faith_n then_o come_v i_o to_o see_v that_o i_o through_o the_o law_n must_v be_v redeem_v

firm_a unto_o the_o end_n which_o end_n be_v the_o win_a christ_n in_o i_o the_o hope_n of_o glory_n the_o great_a mystery_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v hide_v from_o all_o till_o the_o revelation_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o so_o when_o the_o saint_n and_o apostle_n have_v christ_n reveal_v in_o they_o they_o be_v able_a minister_n of_o he_o and_o have_v the_o mystery_n open_v and_o preach_v it_o without_o doubt_n that_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n which_o be_v great_a yet_o hide_v from_o the_o world_n but_o to_o they_o without_o all_o controversy_n god_n manifest_a in_o flesh_n not_o

to_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o good_a fight_n of_o that_o faith_n i_o come_v to_o know_v and_o that_o faith_n which_o overcome_v the_o world_n which_o have_v the_o promise_n and_o inheritance_n of_o

never_o his_o faith_n to_o respect_v person_n or_o that_o he_o can_v commit_v sin_n and_o not_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v never_o his_o faith_n to_o sue_v contend_v or_o fight_v or_o persecute_v any_o to_o judge_v for_o reward_n or_o preach_v for_o hire_v or_o any_o way_n to_o serve_v the_o mammon_n of_o this_o world_n it_o be_v not_o his_o faith_n to_o observe_v his_o own_o

that_o faith_n save_v not_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o pollution_n of_o the_o world_n through_o lust_n and_o so_o be_v but_o a_o conceit_n of_o salvation_n and_o not_o the_o power_n of_o salvation_n
