faith_n in_o the_o propitiation_n and_o atonement_n of_o jesus_n christ_n whereby_o their_o defect_n and_o obliquity_n be_v do_v away_o 2.5_o §_o 6._o 4_o whereas_o he_o add_v that_o it_o be_v a_o

mr._n pemble_n 19_o distinguish_v between_o god_n love_n to_o our_o person_n and_o god_n love_v to_o our_o quality_n and_o action_n a_o distinction_n which_o say_v he_o parent_n be_v well_o skill_v
