justification_n or_o glorification_n for_o the_o first_o it_o contain_v the_o dignity_n of_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n 2._o the_o inheritance_n of_o light_n or_o the_o divine_a nature_n begin_v

belong_v to_o our_o justification_n but_o believe_v we_o have_v this_o privilege_n nothing_o come_v between_o john_n 1.12_o resp_n resp_n the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o reason_n be_v not_o true_a and_o the_o proof_n be_v unsufficient_a for_o though_o we_o be_v adopt_v believe_v on_o christ_n which_o the_o testimony_n void_v yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o we_o be_v immediate_o adopt_v nothing_o come_v between_o our_o faith_n and_o adoption_n we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n to_o have_v eternal_a life_n believe_v yet_o between_o faith_n and_o life_n justification_n must_v be_v conceive_v so_o here_o also_o object_n 2_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o which_o give_v we_o a_o title_n to_o life_n that_o must_v be_v a_o branch_n of_o our_o justification_n to_o

it_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o give_v of_o the_o spirit_n belong_v to_o justification_n for_o that_o do_v give_v i_o right_o to_o life_n as_o a_o earnest_a penny_n or_o part_n of_o payment_n do_v give_v a_o man_n right_a to_o challenge_v the_o whole_a sum_n this_o benefit_n than_o be_v fit_o couch_v under_o that_o last_o of_o our_o glorification_n rom._n 8._o who_o he_o predestinate_v he_o

so_o a_o right_a to_o glory_n and_o after_o he_o do_v actual_o possess_v they_o of_o it_o thus_o glorify_v those_o who_o out_o of_o grace_n he_o have_v justify_v to_o the_o receive_n of_o life_n from_o he_o as_o a_o gift_n of_o his_o mere_a grace_n use_v 1_o this_o then_o be_v that_o god_n do_v before_o all_o world_n dispose_n the_o mean_n whereby_o we_o that_o be_v he_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o adoption_n how_o shall_v we_o admire_v this_o so_o great_a grace_n which_o we_o find_v in_o his_o eye_n from_o all_o eternity_n thou_o believe_v soul_n who_o by_o faith_n be_v marry_v to_o

that_o which_o god_n do_v preordain_v before_o all_o time_n even_o thy_o adoption_n through_o christ_n see_v then_o what_o love_v the_o father_n do_v bear_v thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v be_v make_v a_o son_n admire_v it_o when_o david_n be_v tell_v of_o match_v with_o saul_n daughter_n what_o say_v he_o seem_v it_o a_o small_a thing_n to_o be_v son_n in_o law_n to_o a_o king_n and_o shall_v it_o

to_o preserve_v our_o union_n walk_v with_o christ_n and_o keep_v by_o he_o even_o as_o it_o be_v in_o draw_v a_o circle_n with_o compass_n and_o line_n from_o the_o circumference_n to_o the_o
