it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v allege_v the_o work_n which_o be_v outward_a those_o which_o give_v testimony_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o he_o who_o believe_v and_o of_o the_o infidelity_n of_o he_o who_o believe_v not_o and_o the_o three_o that_o all_o man_n be_v most_o ready_a to_o work_v evil_a and_o most_o slow_a to_o work_v well_o it_o seem_v a_o necessary_a thing_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n shall_v use_v this_o manner_n of_o speech_n to_o refrain_v the_o pronesse_n to_o evil_a and_o to_o incite_v the_o slowness_n to_o good_a to_o the_o end_n that_o as_o they_o who_o now_o feel_v the_o regeneration_n and_o christian_a renovation_n shall_v depart_v from_o evil_a and_o apply_v themselves_o to_o the_o good_a only_o for_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o selfsame_o regeneration_n and_o renovation_n to_o observe_v the_o christian_a decorum_n not_o to_o grieve_v nay_o rather_o to_o rejoice_v the_o holy_a spirit_n so_o they_o also_o who_o begin_v to_o feel_v themselves_o regenerate_v and_o renew_a shoul_n do_v the_o selfsame_o to_o make_v firm_a their_o vocation_n and_o to_o work_v their_o salvation_n and_o that_o shall_v they_o also_o do_v who_o do_v

for_o their_o proper_a interest_n until_o such_o time_n as_o have_v begin_v to_o feel_v the_o affection_n of_o the_o christian_a regeneration_n and_o renovation_n they_o also_o may_v be_v good_a not_o
