for_o james_n speak_v of_o tho_o work_n which_o follow_v faith_n as_o he_o wytness_v when_o he_o say_v faith_n help_v his_o work_n so_o we_o must_v take_v the_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v

it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o préache_v the_o law_n which_o do_v common_o trouble_v and_o condemn_v the_o conscience_n but_o it_o be_v requysite_a that_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n be_v add_v

wherefore_o the_o sermon_n of_o daniel_n ought_v not_o only_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o almose_n deade_v but_o faith_n also_o be_v to_o be_v require_v in_o it_o the_o sermon_n of_o daniel_n be_v far_o

therefore_o nat_n regard_n hierome_n in_o this_o place_n now_o for_o asmuch_o as_o here_o be_v a_o promise_n evident_o put_v doubtless_o faith_n be_v require_v for_o a_o ê“myse_n can_v not_o be_v

a_o very_a prophetical_a and_o a_o evangelical_a sentence_n which_o doubtless_o daniel_n will_v to_o be_v receyve_v by_o faith_n for_o daniel_n know_v that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v promise_v
