of_o god_n mat._n 19.28_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o such_o who_o have_v follow_v he_o in_o the_o regeneration_n shall_v sit_v upon_o throne_n the_o saint_n be_v translate_v out_o of_o the_o

from_o a_o principle_n of_o humane_a wisdom_n and_o not_o from_o the_o powerful_a operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n at_o this_o present_a i_o shall_v observe_v this_o method_n first_o i_o will_v show_v that_o we_o be_v not_o save_v by_o work_n i_o mean_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n then_o i_o shall_v show_v that_o we_o be_v not_o save_v and_o justify_v by_o work_n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n or_o do_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n three_o i_o shall_v show_v that_o we_o be_v not_o save_v by_o work_n in_o which_o we_o yield_v obedience_n to_o any_o

be_v we_o justify_v by_o any_o outward_a observation_n of_o ordinance_n or_o submit_v to_o any_o command_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o only_o by_o our_o obedience_n to_o the_o first_o
