of_o a_o candle_n make_v of_o flax_n as_o when_o a_o candle_n burn_v in_o the_o socket_n it_o be_v now_o up_o now_o down_o you_o know_v not_o whether_o it_o be_v alive_a or_o dead_a so_o in_o the_o

of_o this_o world_n be_v judge_v he_o shall_v convince_v the_o world_n of_o a_o inherent_a righteousness_n in_o spite_n of_o the_o devil_n tooth_n because_o he_o be_v condemn_v he_o that_o before_o

purchase_v by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n death_n when_o we_o say_v faith_n be_v a_o instrument_n we_o must_v understand_v it_o right_o well_o we_o say_v not_o faith_n be_v a_o instrument_n to_o

faith_n do_v justify_v not_o as_o a_o active_a instrument_n but_o as_o it_o do_v receive_v the_o gift_n of_o grace_n it_o do_v follow_v that_o the_o weak_a faith_n that_o be_v do_v get_v as_o much_o

to_o we_o be_v most_o necessary_a it_o must_v be_v so_o and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o testimony_n for_o it_o in_o scripture_n yet_o reason_n show_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o righteousness_n but_o

from_o this_o or_o that_o thing_n there_o be_v first_o justification_n of_o a_o man_n person_n he_o that_o be_v a_o enemy_n be_v now_o make_v a_o friend_n he_o be_v now_o no_o long_o a_o stranger_n at_o home_n but_o be_v in_o the_o list_n or_o god_n household_n now_o this_o we_o say_v no_o soon_o do_v a_o man_n receive_v it_o but_o the_o selfsame_a hour_n that_o he_o receive_v it_o the_o bond_n be_v cancel_v the_o evidence_n be_v tear_v and_o fasten_v to_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n and_o hang_v up_o among_o the_o record_n whereas_o before_o it_o be_v a_o evidence_n against_o we_o and_o will_v have_v lie_v heavy_a on_o we_o at_o the_o bar_n but_o now_o it_o be_v fasten_v to_o the_o cross_n as_o a_o cancel_v record_n the_o bond_n be_v become_v void_a second_o but_o now_o when_o we_o consider_v justification_n from_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a act_n i_o declare_v that_o so_o a_o man_n be_v only_o justify_v from_o sin_n past_a for_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n and_o scripture_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v justify_v from_o sin_n to_o come_v for_o scripture_n the_o apostle_n have_v it_o rom._n 3.25_o who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n through_o say_v in_o his_o blood_n to_o declare_v his_o righteousness_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v past_a through_o the_o forbearance_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v clear_a also_o from_o the_o nature_n
of_o the_o thing_n a_o thing_n can_v be_v remit_v before_o it_o be_v commit_v nor_o cover_v before_o it_o have_v a_o existence_n nor_o blot_v out_o before_o it_o be_v write_v therefore_o justification_n from_o such_o or_o such_o a_o fault_n must_v have_v relation_n to_o that_o which_o be_v past_a but_o for_o justification_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v i_o will_v speak_v anon_o there_o i_o leave_v the_o last_o time_n i_o have_v now_o faith_n and_o i_o believe_v in_o christ_n i_o have_v now_o relation_n to_o he_o and_o remission_n of_o sin_n past_a but_o why_o then_o do_v i_o pray_v for_o it_o to_o what_o end_n be_v that_o bellarmine_n object_n that_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o infidelity_n to_o pray_v for_o it_o afterward_o but_o we_o do_v it_o and_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o see_v psal._n 51._o david_n make_v that_o psalm_n after_o the_o prophet_n nathan_n have_v tell_v he_o his_o sin_n be_v pardon_v see_v the_o title_n of_o it_o and_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o
