have_v a_o union_n with_o he_o as_o be_v the_o head_n of_o it_o so_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o common_a union_n among_o the_o member_n both_o those_o that_o be_v glorify_v in_o heaven_n and_o those_o that_o in_o some_o degree_n be_v sanctify_v on_o earth_n and_o this_o be_v call_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n and_o be_v the_o first_o privilege_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o all_o true_a christian_n communicate_v in_o all_o office_n of_o piety_n and_o charity_n in_o do_v good_a to_o one_o another_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o this_o they_o do_v upon_o the_o account_n that_o they_o have_v in_o common_a one_o god_n one_o christ_n one_o spirit_n one_o lord_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n one_o hope_n article_n x._o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n as_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n genuine_o arise_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n so_o pardon_v of_o sin_n follow_v from_o both_o for_o none_o shall_v have_v their_o sin_n forgive_v but_o those_o who_o live_v and_o die_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n for_o unless_o i_o abide_v in_o this_o ark_n i_o shall_v certain_o perish_v now_o sin_n as_o i_o have_v be_v instruct_v be_v of_o two_o sort_n the_o one_o original_a which_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o my_o nature_n the_o other_o actual_a which_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o my_o conversation_n the_o former_a i_o bring_v with_o i_o into_o the_o world_n the_o latter_a i_o commit_v while_o i_o live_v therein_o and_o both_o these_o sort_n of_o sin_n deserve_v eternal_a death_n and_o can_v only_o be_v pardon_v by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n for_o sin_n be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n it_o can_v only_o be_v forgive_v by_o he_o who_o law_n it_o transgress_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o second_o privilege_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v preach_v to_o all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o seal_v in_o baptism_n wherein_o i_o believe_v my_o original_a sin_n be_v present_o pardon_v and_o that_o my_o actual_a sin_n commit_v after_o baptism_n shall_v be_v pardon_v if_o i_o true_o repent_v i_o of_o the_o same_o now_o this_o my_o belief_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n suppose_n that_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n gracious_o and_o free_o without_o any_o desert_n on_o man_n part_n give_v his_o son_n to_o die_v for_o the_o world_n and_o that_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o his_o meritorious_a death_n he_o remit_v the_o fault_n absolve_v from_o the_o gild_n and_o acquit_v from_o punishment_n all_o true_o penitent_a and_o believe_a sinner_n and_o i_o do_v further_o believe_v that_o he_o impute_v to_o they_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o own_o son_n and_o his_o righteousness_n and_o by_o mean_n thereof_o account_v they_o just_a in_o his_o sight_n i_o believe_v that_o all_o who_o be_v justify_v and_o thus_o acquit_v have_v holiness_n in_o some_o degree_n according_a to_o the_o condition_n of_o this_o life_n which_o holiness_n though_o it_o can_v altogether_o discharge_v they_o from_o sin_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o reign_v over_o they_o so_o that_o a_o justify_v person_n be_v not_o under_o its_o dominion_n nor_o yield_v himself_o a_o vassal_n to_o it_o but_o resist_v its_o command_n and_o make_v it_o die_v daily_o and_o for_o the_o great_a security_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n god_n have_v commit_v to_o his_o minister_n a_o indispensible_a power_n and_o charge_n to_o preach_v faith_n and_o repentance_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o this_o forgiveness_n he_o have_v likewise_o appoint_v they_o to_o pray_v and_o intercede_v and_o also_o to_o baptize_v for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o administer_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o memory_n of_o that_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o indeed_o all_o that_o god_n have_v leave_v in_o the_o hand_n and_o power_n of_o his_o minister_n especial_o tend_v to_o make_v man_n capable_a of_o receive_v what_o they_o believe_v namely_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n article_n xi_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n it_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o father_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o well_o as_o it_o be_v of_o christian_n under_o the_o new_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o resurrection_n both_o of_o the_o just_a and_o unjust_a and_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o christian_n of_o all_o man_n will_v be_v most_o miserable_a and_o all_o that_o i_o have_v learn_v and_o you_o have_v teach_v i_o concern_v christianity_n will_v be_v in_o vain_a but_o i_o firm_o and_o true_o believe_v that_o my_o mortal_a body_n shall_v be_v raise_v from_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o grave_a by_o virtue_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o my_o belief_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o power_n and_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n who_o both_o can_v and_o will_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a the_o very_a same_o body_n that_o die_v article_n xii_o the_o life_n everlasting_a the_o enjoyment_n of_o

be_v the_o portion_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o as_o life_n everlasting_a consist_v in_o the_o fruition_n so_o i_o believe_v everlasting_a death_n consist_v in_o the_o loss_n of_o god_n
