our_o justification_n be_v make_v irrepealable_a for_o ever_o for_o the_o explicate_a of_o the_o first_o 1._o §._o 1._o as_o christ_n be_v in_o his_o death_n make_v sin_n for_o we_o resurrection_n

to_o deliver_v he_o from_o prison_n and_o judgement_n and_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la it_o be_v evident_a pass_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o act_n pass_v that_o there_o be_v some_o such_o act_n pass_v
