justification_n itself_o god_n impute_v christ_n righteousness_n to_o we_o in_o such_o manner_n be_v one_o cause_n of_o our_o justification_n but_o justification_n itself_o or_o the_o use_n of_o we_o in_o such_o favourable_a and_o kind_a manner_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o that_o imputation_n nor_o 6_o and_o last_o be_v justification_n a_o bare_a remission_n of_o sin_n they_o who_o say_v so_o

therefore_o it_o contain_v not_o only_a security_n and_o exemption_n from_o the_o evil_n of_o suffer_v but_o the_o bestow_n the_o good_a thing_n of_o enjoyment_n the_o principal_a of_o which_o be_v

such_o as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v the_o general_a notion_n of_o justification_n of_o sinner_n yet_o it_o must_v here_o in_o the_o text_n be_v restrain_v to_o those_o instance_n of_o favour_n which_o follow_v faith_n take_v for_o a_o quality_n in_o we_o such_o as_o remission_n of_o sin_n etc._n etc._n because_o it_o be_v say_v justify_v by_o say_v faith_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o justification_n

of_o the_o term_n justification_n in_o sum_n this_o it_o be_v to_o use_v or_o treat_v a_o person_n as_o use_v to_o be_v do_v to_o a_o just_a and_o good_a man_n which_o be_v to_o do_v he_o no_o harm_n

by_o which_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v it_o be_v as_o much_o contest_v and_o perhaps_o with_o more_o difficulty_n and_o less_o certainty_n resolve_v than_o the_o former_a of_o

soul_n which_o god_n certain_o know_v though_o other_o and_o even_o our_o own_o self_n sometime_o may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o so_o that_o the_o jew_n from_o who_o probable_o the_o mahometan_n
