by_o infusion_n of_o righteousness_n and_o for_o this_o they_o have_v some_o show_n of_o reason_n for_o if_o they_o shall_v hold_v that_o justification_n consist_v partly_o in_o remission_n that_o be_v in_o the_o forgiveness_n or_o not_o imputation_n of_o sin_n and_o partly_o in_o renovation_n or_o sanctification_n then_o they_o must_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v two_o formal_a cause_n of_o

when_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n his_o meaning_n be_v without_o work_n go_v before_o justification_n but_o what_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o
