say_v that_o god_n have_v see_v it_o good_a in_o this_o matter_n rather_o to_o follow_v his_o own_o most_o wise_a counsel_n then_o these_o man_n foolish_a direction_n it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n now_o to_o dispute_v what_o god_n may_v
that_o he_o be_v a_o god_n that_o hate_v iniquity_n if_o he_o do_v hate_v it_o they_o certain_o he_o must_v punish_v it_o god_n can_v see_v a_o fault_n and_o hate_v a_o fault_n but_o he_o must_v

former_a thus_o when_o we_o say_v sin_n remain_v in_o a_o man_n regenerate_v and_o justify_v we_o must_v distinguish_v the_o ambiguity_n of_o the_o word_n sin_n in_o sin_n to_o use_v that_o distinction_n which_o be_v authentical_a with_o ouâ—_n adversary_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n 1_o the_o offence_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o fault_n 2_o the_o obligation_n unto_o eternal_a punishment_n which_o be_v the_o guilt_n 3_o the_o stain_n or_o pollution_n of_o the_o soul_n viz_o the_o inherent_a vicious_a inclination_n of_o it_o unto_o evil_n from_o whence_o the_o fault_n

we_o call_v the_o corruption_n of_o sinne._n thus_o than_o we_o answer_v sin_n do_v not_o remain_v in_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v &_o regenerate_v in_o the_o two_o first_o respect_n viz._n of_o the_o fault_n and_o the_o guilt_n both_o which_o be_v take_v away_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ._n but_o sin_n do_v remain_v in_o the_o regenerate_a according_a to_o the_o 3_o respect_n viz._n the_o vicious_a quality_n and_o corruption_n thereof_o inherent_a in_o the_o soul_n we_o shall_v explain_v these_o answer_n and_o apply_v they_o to_o the_o argument_n we_o say_v then_o that_o the_o fault_n &_o guilt_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o regenerate_a be_v utter_o abolish_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ._n which_o we_o do_v not_o take_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o this_o that_o in_o a_o man_n regenerate_v there_o be_v not_o at_o all_o any_o one_o fault_n or_o guilt_n to_o be_v find_v for_o to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n regenerate_v when_o he_o sin_n be_v neither_o faulty_a nor_o guilty_a be_v a_o gross_a untruth_n â—_o see_v it_o be_v impossible_a that_o man_n shall_v sin_v yet_o god_n not_o be_v offend_v that_o man_n shall_v sin_v and_o yet_o not_o be_v guilty_a and_o deserve_v eternal_a death_n wherefore_o we_o confess_v that_o in_o the_o holy_a of_o man_n if_o they_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o true_a fault_n and_o god_n be_v displease_v with_o it_o there_o be_v also_o true_a guilt_n and_o for_o it_o they_o deserve_v to_o go_v to_o hell_n but_o yet_o this_o truth_n also_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v withal_o that_o all_o faultinesse_n and_o guiltiness_n be_v quite_o abolish_v and_o take_v away_o from_o they_o by_o christ_n because_o that_o both_o be_v pardon_v unto_o they_o god_n be_v offend_v but_o yet_o they_o feel_v not_o the_o woeful_a effect_n of_o his_o indignation_n because_o in_o christ_n he_o be_v gracious_o content_v to_o be_v reconcile_v with_o they_o again_o they_o have_v deserve_v everlasting_a death_n but_o they_o come_v not_o to_o the_o pain_n thereof_o because_o free_v from_o the_o punishment_n by_o christ_n satisfaction_n thus_o than_o we_o understand_v the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o answer_n that_o the_o fault_n and_o guilt_n of_o sin_n be_v utter_o abolish_v that_o be_v total_o pardon_v unto_o the_o regenerate_v by_o mean_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o no_o final_a eternal_a punishment_n shall_v befall_v they_o therefore_o the_o other_o part_n that_o sin_n in_o the_o vicious_a quality_n and_o corruption_n if_o it_o remain_v in_o man_n justify_v we_o understand_v with_o this_o necessary_a 14._o limitation_n that_o it_o
