be_v not_o act_n of_o righteousness_n as_o do_v by_o they_o nor_o as_o inherent_a in_o they_o as_o act_n by_o which_o they_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n and_o justify_v before_o he_o but_o they_o be_v

inwardness_n of_o the_o act_n or_o copy_n of_o the_o act_n rather_o out_o of_o these_o divine_a record_n but_o we_o differ_v huge_o from_o they_o as_o to_o the_o immediateness_n of_o the_o act_n i_o

for_o all_o be_v one_o antecedent_o inherent_o righteous_a and_o therefore_o justify_v which_o we_o never_o hold_v but_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n as_o lay_v hold_n and_o rely_v on_o
