a_o necessity_n of_o christ_n death_n suppose_v god_n decree_v not_o to_o pardon_v sin_n without_o a_o satisfaction_n i_o grant_v that_o god_n decree_n do_v eventua_o secure_v the_o elect_n but_o not_o actual_o it_o be_v true_a because_o a_o man_n be_v elect_a he_o shall_v not_o as_o to_o the_o event_n be_v damn_v but_o god_n will_v give_v faith_n to_o apply_v christ_n righteousness_n but_o this_o be_v not_o a_o actual_a acquittance_n or_o discharge_v from_o sin_n when_o the_o apostle_n say_v who_o shall_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o charge_n of_o god_n elect_n that_o be_v to_o such_o

unknown_a to_o any_o till_o it_o be_v evidence_v by_o their_o effectual_a call_v now_o sure_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o bare_o propound_v election_n as_o a_o sign_n of_o justification_n without_o some_o mean_n to_o know_v it_o for_o how_o can_v a_o thing_n so_o secret_a be_v a_o comfort_n till_o it_o be_v manifest_v and_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v manifest_v but_o by_o faith_n and_o sanctification_n therefore_o sure_o they_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o his_o discourse_n must_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o elect_n now_o if_o you_o take_v the_o proposition_n as_o a_o universal_a negative_a or_o universal_a affirmative_a no_o elect_a believer_n can_v be_v just_o charge_v with_o sin_n or_o all_o elect_a believer_n be_v free_v from_o the_o charge_n of_o sin_n both_o be_v true_a but_o to_o take_v it_o for_o the_o elect_a antecedent_o to_o faith_n the_o proposition_n be_v not_o true_a for_o the_o word_n may_v and_o do_v charge_v he_o with_o sin_n for_o it_o threaten_v

therefore_o though_o all_o elect_a believer_n shall_v be_v free_v from_o sin_n yet_o all_o the_o elect_n be_v not_o formal_o discharge_v from_o sin_n as_o for_o your_o weak_a and_o feeble_a
