remission_n of_o sin_n do_v suppose_v a_o man_n faulty_a in_o himself_o but_o because_o christ_n do_v take_v our_o sin_n upon_o he_o and_o we_o be_v accept_v of_o through_o he_o as_o our_o surety_n therefore_o may_v remission_n of_o sin_n be_v well_o call_v justification_n indeed_o

many_o other_o place_n do_v abundant_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v not_o forgiveness_n but_o where_o there_o be_v repentance_n therefore_o look_v upon_o all_o those_o doctrine_n as_o false_a and_o

to_o prepare_v they_o to_o their_o conversion_n for_o god_n see_v sin_n in_o they_o lay_v cross_n upon_o they_o now_o these_o elect_a person_n he_o call_v unconvert_v active_o and_o declarative_o in_o
