the_o scripture_n then_o and_o also_o the_o ancient_a doctor_n speak_v of_o jesus_n christ_n have_v sometime_o respect_n unto_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o then_o it_o be_v say_v

assure_v himself_o of_o his_o salvation_n as_o it_o be_v see_v in_o the_o papist_n how_o they_o in_o this_o behalf_n do_v commit_v a_o double_a fault_n in_o the_o first_o place_n as_o it_o be_v to_o

of_o god_n grace_n and_o that_o none_o can_v know_v a_o assuredness_n by_o faith_n that_o he_o have_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n o_o how_o bare_a weak_a and_o unable_a of_o power_n shall_v our_o

of_o his_o infirmity_n can_v so_o assure_v he_o in_o his_o god_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a to_o wit_n that_o the_o certainty_n of_o faith_n be_v of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o word_n and_o not_o of_o our_o strength_n and_o merit_n or_o deserve_n and_o therefore_o it_o overcom_v all_o our_o weakness_n for_o we_o be_v also_o save_v not_o after_o the_o greatness_n and_o weakness_n of_o our_o belief_n
