it_o followethe_v that_o they_o can_v not_o so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v in_o their_o wit_n believe_v that_o they_o be_v just_a because_o this_o verity_n must_v appear_v to_o the_o understanding_n

probability_n of_o it_o appear_v it_o follow_v that_o when_o a_o sinner_n be_v fall_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o rise_v again_o because_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o he_o to_o

his_o faith_n by_o pray_v for_o he_o be_v bind_v by_o caluin_n to_o believe_v assure_o that_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v because_o this_o be_v his_o justify_n faith_n and_o if_o he_o stagger_v or_o doubt_v he_o be_v a_o infidel_n because_o he_o have_v not_o the_o right_a faith_n whence_o it_o followethe_v that_o in_o pray_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n he_o lose_v faith_n because_o in_o that_o he_o pray_v he_o shewethe_v that_o he_o have_v not_o that_o assurance_n for_o who_o will_v pray_v for_o that_o which_o he_o be_v assure_v of_o already_o or_o if_o he_o pray_v it_o be_v a_o argument_n

the_o reason_n also_o be_v because_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o principal_a act_n of_o religion_n by_o which_o we_o acknowledge_v god_n soveraintie_n
can_v they_o give_v none_o unto_o their_o judge_n and_o consequent_o nether_a the_o prince_n nor_o the_o judge_n have_v authority_n to_o give_v sentence_n or_o to_o punish_v any_o malefactor_n

bound_v in_o conscience_n be_v to_o despoil_v christ_n of_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o redeemer_n and_o man_n of_o christian_a liberty_n then_o be_v it_o also_o injurious_a to_o christ_n and_o man_n liberty_n to_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o keep_v promise_n and_o to_o observe_v contract_n even_o with_o wife_n three_o the_o commandment_n also_o of_o parent_n and_o master_n be_v particular_a law_n and_o consequent_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o obey_v our_o master_n or_o parento_n and_o so_o one_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n must_v be_v blot_v out_o

assent_n that_o he_o be_v just_a and_o consequent_o if_o this_o be_v the_o only_a way_n for_o a_o sinner_n to_o rise_v unto_o justification_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o after_o he_o be_v fall_v by_o sin_n to_o rise_v again_o by_o justification_n and_o so_o where_o the_o tree_n fall_v there_o it_o must_v lie_v for_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o sick_a man_n if_o he_o be_v in_o his_o
