but_o work_v do_v by_o god_n grace_n may_v and_o be_v join_v with_o it_o as_o cause_n of_o salvation_n and_o in_o these_o point_v the_o protestant_n oppose_v they_o i_o can_v fill_v a_o volume_n

we_o say_v with_o all_o sound_a protestant_n that_o justification_n in_o nature_n be_v before_o sanctification_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o of_o faith_n because_o faith_n as_o a_o
