The 11th Text shall be 1 Joh. 5. 9, 10. 11, [For this is the witness which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself. He that believeth not God hath made him a Liar, because he believeth not the Record that God gave of his Son: And this is the Record, that God hath given us Eternal Life, and this Life is in his Son: He that hath the Son hath Life, and he that hath not the Son, hath not Life.
