see_v that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n be_v the_o only_a ordinary_a outward_a mean_n for_o the_o beget_n of_o faith_n to_o wit_n the_o general_a unbelief_n and_o fruit_n of_o it_o which_o

be_v a_o evident_a demonstration_n that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n be_v the_o proper_a ordinance_n for_o the_o beget_n of_o faith_n the_o preach_v of_o the_o word_n oppose_v unbelief_n and_o
