only_o not_o often_o for_o to_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n there_o be_v but_o one_o repentance_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n a_o man_n that_o put_v away_o his_o wife_n ought_v not_o to_o take_v

so_o do_v it_o seem_v good_a to_o christ_n to_o save_v what_o be_v lose_v and_o when_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n he_o save_v many_o and_o call_v we_o who_o be_v already_o perish_v iii_o see_v then_o he_o have_v show_v so_o great_a mercy_n towards_o we_o and_o chief_o for_o that_o we_o who_o be_v alive_a do_v now_o no_o long_o sacrifice_v to_o dead_a god_n nor_o pay_v any_o worship_n to_o they_o but_o have_v by_o he_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o father_n of_o truth_n he_o whereby_o shall_v we_o show_v that_o we_o do_v indeed_o know_v he_o but_o by_o not_o deny_v he_o by_o who_o we_o have_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o for_o even_o he_o himself_o say_v whosoever_o shall_v confess_v i_o before_o man_n 32_o he_o will_v i_o confess_v before_o my_o father_n this_o therefore_o be_v our_o reward_n that_o if_o we_o confess_v he_o we_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o he_o but_o wherein_o must_v we_o confess_v he_o namely_o in_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o he_o say_v and_o not_o disobey_v his_o commandment_n by_o worship_v he_o not_o with_o our_o lip_n only_o but_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o our_o mind_n for_o he_o say_v in_o isaiah_n 13_o this_o people_n honour_v i_o with_o their_o lip_n but_o their_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o i_o iv._o let_v we_o not_o then_o only_o call_v he_o lord_n for_o that_o will_v not_o save_v we_o for_o he_o say_v 21_o not_o every_o one_o that_o say_v unto_o i_o lord_n lord_n shall_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o do_v righteousness_n wherefore_o brethren_n let_v we_o confess_v he_o by_o our_o work_n by_o love_v one_o another_o in_o not_o commit_v adultery_n not_o speak_v evil_a against_o each_o other_o not_o envy_v one_o another_o but_o by_o be_v temperate_a merciful_a and_o good_n let_v we_o also_o have_v a_o mutual_a sense_n of_o one_o another_o suffering_n and_o not_o be_v covetous_a of_o money_n but_o let_v we_o by_o our_o good_a work_n confess_v god_n and_o not_o by_o those_o that_o be_v otherwise_o also_o let_v we_o not_o fear_v man_n but_o rather_o god_n for_o this_o cause_n thing_n and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v do_v thus_o have_v the_o lord_n say_v though_o you_o shall_v be_v join_v unto_o i_o even_o in_o my_o very_a bosom_n and_o not_o keep_v my_o commandment_n i_o will_v cast_v you_o off_o and_o say_v unto_o you_o depart_v from_o i_o 27_o i_o know_v not_o whence_o you_o be_v you_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n v._o wherefore_o brethren_n lay_v aside_o our_o sojourn_v in_o this_o present_a world_n let_v we_o do_v the_o will_n of_o he_o who_o have_v call_v we_o and_o not_o fear_v to_o depart_v out_o of_o this_o world_n for_o the_o lord_n say_v 16_o you_o shall_v be_v as_o sheep_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o wolf_n peter_n answer_v and_o say_v what_o if_o the_o wolf_n shall_v tear_v in_o piece_n the_o sheep_n jesus_n say_v unto_o peter_n let_v not_o the_o sheep_n fear_v the_o wolf_n after_o death_n 5._o and_o you_o also_o fear_v not_o those_o that_o kill_v you_o and_o after_o that_o have_v no_o more_o that_o they_o can_v do_v unto_o you_o but_o fear_v he_o who_o after_o you_o be_v dead_a have_v power_n to_o cast_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n into_o hell_n fire_n for_o consider_v brethren_n that_o the_o sojourn_v of_o this_o flesh_n in_o the_o present_a world_n be_v but_o little_a and_o of_o a_o short_a continuance_n but_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n be_v great_a and_o wonderful_a even_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o be_v to_o come_v and_o of_o eternal_a life_n but_o what_o then_o must_v we_o do_v that_o we_o attain_v unto_o it_o we_o must_v be_v convert_v to_o a_o divine_a and_o just_a course_n of_o life_n and_o look_v upon_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n as_o none_o of_o we_o and_o not_o desire_v they_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v desire_v to_o possess_v they_o we_o be_v fall_v from_o the_o way_n of_o righteousness_n vi_o for_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n no_o servant_n can_v serve_v two_o master_n 13_o if_o therefore_o we_o shall_v desire_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o mammon_n it_o will_v be_v without_o profit_n to_o we_o 26_o for_o what_o will_v it_o profit_v we_o if_o we_o shall_v gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o lose_v our_o own_o soul_n now_o this_o world_n and_o that_o to_o come_v be_v two_o enemy_n this_o call_v we_o to_o adultery_n and_o corruption_n to_o covetousness_n and_o to_o deceit_n but_o that_o command_v we_o to_o renounce_v these_o thing_n we_o can_v therefore_o be_v the_o friend_n of_o both_o but_o we_o must_v resolve_v by_o forsake_v one_o to_o enjoy_v the_o other_o and_o we_o think_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o hate_v the_o present_a thing_n as_o little_a short-lived_a and_o corruptible_a and_o to_o love_v those_o which_o be_v to_o come_v which_o be_v true_o good_a and_o incorruptible_a for_o if_o we_o do_v the_o will_n of_o christ_n we_o shall_v find_v rest_n but_o if_o not_o nothing_o shall_v deliver_v we_o from_o eternal_a punishment_n if_o we_o shall_v disobey_v his_o command_n for_o even_o thus_o say_v the_o scripture_n in_o the_o prophet_n ezekiel_n 20._o if_o noah_n job_n and_o daniel_n shall_v rise_v up_o they_o shall_v not_o deliver_v their_o child_n in_o captivity_n wherefore_o if_o such_o righteous_a man_n be_v not_o able_a by_o their_o righteousness_n to_o deliver_v their_o child_n how_o can_v we_o hope_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n except_o we_o keep_v our_o baptism_n holy_a and_o undefiled_a or_o who_o shall_v be_v our_o advocate_n unless_o we_o shall_v be_v find_v to_o have_v do_v what_o be_v holy_a and_o just_a vii_o let_v we_o therefore_o my_o brethren_n contend_v with_o all_o earnestness_n know_v that_o we_o we_o be_v now_o call_v to_o the_o combat_n and_o that_o many_o go_v long_a voyage_n
