for_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o those_o transient_a action_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o time_n howsoever_o therefore_o justification_n be_v call_v by_o some_o a_o immanent_a action_n and_o

for_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o when_o it_o say_v who_o he_o have_v justify_v they_o he_o have_v glorify_v by_o these_o two_o difference_n you_o may_v see_v that_o pardon_n of_o sin_n be_v

great_a practical_a concernment_n and_o therefore_o to_o establish_v you_o in_o the_o truth_n consider_v these_o argument_n justification_n 1._o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o a_o state_n of_o wrath_n and_o condemnation_n that_o all_o be_v in_o before_o they_o be_v justify_v or_o pardon_v therefore_o the_o believer_n sin_n be_v not_o from_o all_o eternity_n forgive_v for_o if_o there_o be_v a_o time_n viz._n before_o his_o regeneration_n and_o conversion_n that_o he_o be_v a_o child_n of_o wrath_n under_o the_o guilt_n and_o punishment_n of_o sin_n than_o he_o can_v not_o be_v at_o the_o

and_o the_o other_o leave_v in_o it_o but_o predestination_n as_o be_v more_o large_o to_o be_v show_v be_v a_o immanent_a act_n in_o god_n do_v denote_v no_o positive_a effect_n for_o the_o present_a of_o love_n upon_o the_o person_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v have_v his_o sin_n impute_v to_o he_o lie_v upon_o he_o and_o therefore_o by_o the_o psalmist_n argument_n not_o a_o
