by_o this_o mean_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o who_o faith_n daily_o absolve_v you_o yourself_o can_v hold_v they_o guilty_a of_o any_o crime_n therefore_o if_o they_o be_v not_o unrighteous_a

be_v all_o the_o contention_n between_o we_o you_o seem_v to_o acknowledge_v no_o righteousness_n but_o that_o which_o the_o perfection_n of_o life_n procure_v we_o place_v all_o our_o righteousness_n in_o christ_n not_o in_o ourselves_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o he_o only_o not_o in_o our_o own_o work_n what_o say_v you_o can_v any_o man_n obtain_v favour_n from_o that_o high_a goodness_n as_o

mountain_n of_o gilboa_n bring_v forth_o unto_o we_o at_o length_n he_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a that_o whosoever_o think_v to_o be_v receive_v 2._o into_o the_o

a_o penitent_a mind_n go_v before_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o very_a cause_n of_o justification_n shall_v be_v attribute_v unto_o repentance_n for_o if_o repentance_n
