but_o not_o for_o his_o purpose_n to_o prove_v that_o abraham_n live_v and_o die_v a_o imperfect_a man_n and_o with_o some_o remainder_n of_o corruption_n in_o he_o which_o word_n ought_v to_o be_v thus_o translate_v as_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o greek_a text_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o that_o abraham_n our_o father_n have_v find_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n or_o in_o his_o

in_o a_o good_a condition_n say_v he_o be_v contrary_a to_o grace_v grow_v in_o grace_n but_o may_v not_o the_o saint_n rest_v when_o they_o be_v at_o the_o end_n of_o their_o journey_n and_o race_n which_o be_v the_o final_a mortification_n of_o sin_n through_o faith_n according_a to_o heb._n 4.3_o for_o we_o which_o have_v believe_v do_v enter_v into_o rest_n let_v he_o here_o who_o be_v

comparative_o or_o in_o respect_n of_o other_o man_n unrighteousness_n and_n fourthly_a acceptative_o because_o god_n accept_v they_o though_o not_o absolute_o just_a by_o the_o reason_n of_o manifold_a sin_n and_o defect_n yet_o in_o christ_n and_o for_o christ_n his_o sake_n through_o who_o all_o our_o imperfection_n be_v pardon_v as_o just_a and_o righteous_a man_n but_o by_o his_o

justification_n whereby_o sin_n be_v purge_v out_o upon_o which_o the_o pardon_n and_o remove_n of_o the_o guilt_n follow_v through_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n death_n we_o say_v that_o these_o be_v diverse_a and_o dissentaneous_a thing_n but_o otherwise_o as_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n frequent_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o
