that_o believe_v that_o christ_n preach_a forgive_v sin_n be_v also_o justify_v it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o justification_n be_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n say_v the_o same_o apostle_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n we_o shall_v be_v save_v from_o wrath_n through_o he_o but_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n wash_v away_o sin_n

the_o four_o to_o the_o roman_n the_o same_o apostle_n expound_v justification_n by_o sanctification_n and_o sanctification_n by_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o entreat_v of_o faith_n whereby_o

despise_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n for_o if_o righteousness_n come_v of_o the_o law_n than_o christ_n be_v dead_a in_o vain_a for_o if_o we_o in_o ourselves_o have_v have_v any_o thing_n whereby_o we_o may_v be_v save_v what_o need_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o take_v our_o flesh_n to_o suffer_v and_o to_o die_v but_o for_o because_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v incarnate_a do_v suffer_v and_o die_v and_o die_v not_o in_o vain_a therefore_o in_o our_o flesh_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o can_v obtain_v salvation_n for_o mankind_n wherefore_o the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n be_v our_o saviour_n for_o ever_o and_o by_o true_a faith_n make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o salvation_n paul_n in_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o rom._n do_v prove_v that_o all_o sinner_n man_n be_v sinner_n that_o in_o man_n there_o remain_v no_o strength_n for_o they_o to_o be_v save_v by_o and_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n itself_o do_v dig_v up_o the_o

the_o faithful_a free_o by_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n i_o will_v rehearse_v a_o few_o of_o the_o apostle_n own_o word_n the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n say_v he_o be_v declare_v without_o the_o

they_o that_o believe_v for_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n for_o all_o have_v sin_v &_o have_v need_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n through_o the_o redemption_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n i_o suppose_v be_v most_o manifest_a to_o they_o that_o believe_v he_o pluck_v justification_n from_o our_o own_o merit_n &_o strength_n and_o attribute_v it_o to_o grace_n whereby_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v give_v

again_o the_o apostle_n immediate_o after_o add_v therefore_o we_o hold_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n upon_o the_o neck_n of_o this_o again_o he_o
