to_o receive_v christ_n who_o be_v our_o righteousness_n the_o roman_a catholic_n hold_v â—…he_v former_a the_o true_a catholic_n the_o latter_a but_o the_o former_a i_o have_v sufficient_o disprove_v before_o and_o prove_v the_o latter_a for_o if_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o any_o grace_n or_o righteousness_n inherent_a in_o ourselves_o or_o perform_v by_o ourselves_o which_o i_o have_v before_o 4._o by_o many_o undeniable_a argument_n demonstrate_v than_o it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v a_o gift_n or_o grace_n a_o act_n or_o

only_o as_o it_o be_v the_o instrument_n or_o hand_n to_o apprehend_v or_o receive_v christ_n who_o be_v our_o righteousness_n wherefore_o where_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o justify_v or_o to_o be_v
