to_o god_n and_o i_o think_v we_o may_v equal_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o upon_o our_o justification_n with_o god_n we_o have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o promise_n of_o future_a glory_n but_o if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o give_v we_o this_o right_a be_v obedience_n to_o imitation_n of_o christ_n and_o conformity_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n we_o may_v have_v a_o
