pray_v read_v ezek._n 33._o 13._o when_o i_o say_v to_o the_o righteous_a that_o he_o shall_v sure_o live_v if_o he_o trust_v to_o his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o commit_v iniquity_n all_o his_o

he_o shall_v live_v but_o if_o he_o be_v righteous_a and_o trust_v to_o it_o he_o must_v die_v in_o his_o sin_n as_o the_o righteous_a jew_n and_o pharisee_n do_v who_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n go_v 3._o about_o to_o establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n now_o from_o hence_o it_o appear_v contrary_a to_o what_o our_o opponent_n say_v that_o that_o righteousness_n which_o these_o man_n turn_v from_o can_v not_o save_v they_o though_o it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v say_v if_o the_o wicked_a man_n turn_v from_o his_o wickedness_n he_o have_v commit_v and_o do_v that_o which_o be_v lawful_a and_o right_a he_o shall_v save_v his_o soul_n alive_a a_o do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a be_v to_o renounce_v all_o his_o own_o righteousness_n in_o point_n of_o justification_n and_o by_o faith_n to_o throw_v himself_o upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o that_o do_v thus_o shall_v save_v his_o soul_n alive_a therefore_o let_v all_o man_n know_v that_o this_o text_n only_o show_v that_o a_o man_n that_o have_v attain_v to_o no_o more_o than_o to_o a_o moral_a and_o legal_a righteousness_n must_v perish_v as_o well_o as_o he_o that_o turn_v from_o
