and_o discoverer_v the_o falsehood_n and_o misty_a sophistry_n of_o your_o argument_n so_o now_o by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n i_o will_v lay_v down_o and_o confirm_v the_o truth_n itself_o how_o the_o scripture_n do_v speak_v of_o justify_v and_o believe_v that_o so_o you_o may_v come_v to_o know_v that_o which_o hitherto_o i_o perceive_v you_o be_v very_o ignorant_a of_o wherefore_o thus_o say_v the_o scripture_n concerning_o justification_n we_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n say_v the_o apostle_n rom._n 3_o 24._o titus_n 3._o 11._o likewise_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o

in_o our_o justification_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n purchase_v the_o grace_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o a_o assurance_n of_o it_o give_v to_o the_o lose_v the_o dead_a the_o break_a penitent_a
