by_o he_o for_o else_o we_o can_v not_o be_v yet_o oblige_v to_o obey_v though_o to_o other_o end_n than_o he_o be_v for_o either_o this_o obedience_n of_o gratitude_n be_v a_o duty_n or_o not_o if_o

to_o but_o half_o but_o what_o man_n be_v he_o that_o sin_v not_o therefore_o see_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o man_n do_v all_o that_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v by_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o time_n and_o measure_n of_o his_o faith_n hope_n love_n fruitfulness_n etc._n etc._n it_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o suppose_v to_o have_v do_v all_o that_o

to_o that_o which_o christ_n can_v not_o do_v for_o we_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n our_o great_a duty_n be_v 1._o to_o believe_v in_o a_o saviour_n 2._o to_o improve_v all_o the_o part_n of_o

and_o by_o imputation_n answ_n remember_v that_o you_o suppose_v here_o the_o person_n and_o subject_a to_o be_v the_o same_o man_n and_o then_o that_o the_o two_o contrary_a relation_n of_o perfect_a

in_o several_a partial_a respect_n but_o a_o perfection_n of_o guiltlesness_n exclude_v all_o guilt_n but_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o many_o a_o sin_n after_o conversion_n and_o need_v a_o pardon_n all_o that_o you_o shall_v say_v be_v this_o we_o be_v sinner_n ourselves_o but_o we_o have_v a_o mediator_n that_o sin_v not_o who_o merit_v pardon_n and_o heaven_n for_o sinner_n 2._o but_o if_o you_o mean_v that_o god_n repute_v we_o to_o be_v perfect_o innocent_a when_o we_o be_v not_o because_o that_o christ_n be_v so_o it_o be_v to_o impute_v error_n to_o god_n he_o repute_v no_o man_n
