question_n whether_o justification_n be_v absolute_o perfect_a and_o finish_v in_o this_o life_n 17_o i_o answer_v ans_fw-fr ans_fw-fr there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o benefit_n which_o we_o receive_v of_o god_n in_o christ_n one_o of_o such_o as_o be_v not_o inherent_a in_o we_o as_o election_n and_o justification_n the_o other_o of_o such_o as_o do_v inhere_o as_o vocation_n glorification_n 18_o both_o these_o kind_n of_o benefit_n have_v this_o common_a that_o before_o the_o full_a manifestation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o can_v be_v full_o and_o perfect_o declare_v i_o mean_v neither_o

rom._n 3.21_o now_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n make_v manifest_a but_o be_v not_o full_o declare_v in_o this_o life_n as_o john_n say_v 1._o joh._n 3.2_o now_o be_v we_o the_o son_n of_o

absolve_v in_o this_o life_n 1._o joh._n 3.2_o now_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o also_o now_o we_o be_v elect_v now_o we_o be_v justify_v 21_o those_o benefit_n which_o be_v inherent_a in_o we_o be_v not_o perfect_v in_o all_o their_o degree_n but_o only_o inchoat_v or_o begin_v in_o this_o life_n 22_o hence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o justification_n be_v indeed_o perfect_v &_o absolve_v in_o this_o life_n but_o not_o plain_o manifest_v and_o declare_v 23_o question_n may_v be_v make_v quest_n quest_n whether_o christ_n will_v not_o justify_v such_o as_o believe_v here_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o shall_v not_o justification_n be_v perfect_a then_o at_o length_n in_o that_o other_o life_n 24._o i_o answer_v ans_fw-fr ans_fw-fr in_o that_o day_n of_o judgement_n christ_n will_v not_o so_o much_o justify_v the_o believer_n as_o declare_v by_o their_o work_n that_o they_o believe_v and_o be_v justify_v even_o in_o this_o life_n 25_o for_o so_o also_o the_o word_n justification_n may_v be_v take_v and_o so_o james_n use_v it_o where_o he_o say_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o his_o work_n jac._n 2.21_o he_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v justify_v again_o quest_n quest_n again_o it_o be_v demand_v see_v we_o daily_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o be_v justification_n how_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o that_o justification_n be_v a_o undividable_a act_n perfect_v even_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n in_o this_o life_n 27_o i_o answer_v when_o we_o pray_v for_o

the_o come_n of_o christ_n then_o certain_o justification_n can_v be_v perfect_v until_o the_o last_o come_n of_o christ_n 29_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o perfect_v the_o sentence_n
