of_o it_o to_o a_o man_n self_n that_o he_o be_v thou_o and_o my_o saviour_n by_o the_o former_a we_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o the_o latter_a we_o be_v persuade_v in_o our_o conscience_n

of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o second_o degree_n may_v be_v attain_v unto_o out_o of_o the_o former_a and_o aught_o to_o be_v endeavour_v for_o the_o great_a increase_n of_o our_o love_n and_o

many_o symptom_n of_o fear_n and_o tremble_a no_o rash_a and_o audacious_a presumption_n second_o it_o grow_v out_o of_o the_o acknowledgement_n that_o for_o sundry_a iniquity_n we_o deserve_v the_o

will_v seek_v the_o lord_n and_o rejoice_v in_o his_o save_a health_n and_o then_o they_o have_v not_o only_o a_o intellectual_a but_o a_o fiducial_a assent_n to_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o fiducia_fw-la or_o assent_n do_v arise_v out_o of_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o true_a faith_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o true_a faith_n in_o all_o that_o have_v it_o do_v put_v
