the_o sense_n thus_o he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o procure_v remission_n by_o faith_n unless_o our_o faith_n be_v a_o coprice_n with_o his_o blood_n in_o merit_v remission_n which_o be_v absurd_a

the_o word_n propitiation_n when_o speak_v of_o believer_n because_o they_o do_v believe_v and_o so_o have_v it_o apply_v and_o let_v the_o author_n show_v where_o he_o be_v call_v a_o propitiation_n or_o say_v to_o be_v one_o but_o where_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o believer_n and_o these_o thing_n be_v consider_v i_o wonder_v why_o our_o author_n or_o any_o remonst_z whatever_o can_v upon_o
