the_o judgement_n to_o come_v and_o of_o god_n long_o suffer_v and_o the_o use_n to_o be_v make_v hereof_o to_o be_v win_v to_o repentance_n and_o a_o study_n of_o holiness_n for_o the_o place_n be_v easy_a to_o be_v find_v wherein_o he_o speak_v of_o all_o these_o thing_n second_o to_o what_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d wherein_o have_v reference_n whether_o to_o the_o epistle_n or_o to_o these_o thing_n robertus_fw-la stephanus_n say_v that_o there_o be_v three_o copy_n wherein_o it_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o the_o epistle_n be_v plain_o mean_v &_o beza_n approve_v of_o this_o because_o if_o the_o argument_n in_o hand_n be_v mean_v peter_n have_v speak_v more_o mystical_o hereof_o then_o paul_n ever_o do_v but_o the_o copy_n general_o
