spirit_n for_o sanctification_n the_o sign_n of_o that_o faith_n be_v a_o absolute_a act_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v but_o justification_n be_v the_o relative_a result_n of_o all_o the_o

have_v do_v with_o the_o judge_n when_o the_o sentence_n be_v past_a but_o not_o in_o this_o 2._o in_o other_o we_o need_v but_o one_o act_n because_o we_o can_v abstain_v from_o the_o like_a crime_n but_o in_o this_o we_o need_v a_o continual_a justification_n or_o remission_n hence_o we_o daily_o pray_v forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o we_o have_v daily_a encouragement_n that_o if_o any_o man_n
