those_o two_o phrase_n faith_n can_v save_v and_o faith_n be_v dead_a do_v both_o signify_v the_o same_o thing_n since_o therefore_o faith_n itself_o without_o obedience_n be_v unavailable_a when_o the_o scripture_n make_v mention_n of_o our_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n it_o must_v necessary_o be_v understand_v of_o faith_n comprehend_v obedience_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o god_n the_o

sacrifice_n and_o upon_o condition_n of_o our_o sincere_a repentance_n and_o future_a obedience_n and_o this_o be_v the_o groundwork_n and_o foundation_n of_o all_o remission_n of_o sin_n without_o which_o our_o saviour_n himself_o have_v no_o right_a to_o pardon_v and_o forgive_v we_o for_o since_o the_o law_n against_o which_o we_o have_v all_o sin_v be_v peculiarly_a from_o god_n the_o

upon_o his_o grant_n so_o neither_o can_v his_o grant_n be_v available_a to_o any_o but_o upon_o that_o consideration_n which_o he_o have_v accept_v viz._n the_o precious_a sacrifice_n of_o his_o
