Thus

thou mutt
uphold
thy
felt
with
this
confederation,
That
Gods
favour and love
is
not
to be
grounded
up-
on
us
by
the prefence
of
any fuch
outward
appearances.
No,though
poor, yet
thou haft
the
riches
of
Gods mercie,
thou
haft Chrift
the
heir
of
all.
If
he
be

Apollo

the common

,
That from

every membermight
be
ferved;
in
whom
are
hid
all the

of

is
the

fountain, from whom flreameth

the
vein
is
in

thence
it
fpringeth to
