2 Have the Gospel,1 the Word of salvation, in high account. As we have knowledge thereof, so let us set our heart and love upon it. Love of the Gospel will make men cleave close unto it, and will keep them from renouncing of it.2 If men receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved, God will send them strong delusion,⟨p. 624⟩ that they should believe a lye, and be damned. Through light esteem of the Gospel, men oft come to reject it: and to prove Apostates.

Through light esteeme of the Gospell, men oft come to reiect it: and to proue Apostates.
