a_o sanguine_a belief_n that_o we_o shall_v come_v there_o and_o may_v thenceforth_o live_v as_o we_o list_v without_o holiness_n or_o a_o godly_a righteous_a and_o sober_a life_n for_o she_o make_v this_o necessary_a to_o bring_v we_o to_o heaven_n as_o well_o as_o faith_n or_o justification_n itself_o and_o a_o pretence_n of_o faith_n without_o this_o she_o do_v not_o own_o for_o faith_n but_o presumption_n she_o own_v none_o for_o a_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n but_o what_o be_v attend_v herewith_o as_o the_o necessary_a fruit_n thereof_o only_o she_o do_v distinguish_v what_o of_o this_o belong_v to_o justification_n and_o what_o to_o sanctification_n which_o other_o labour_v studious_o to_o confound_v if_o any_o please_v to_o cavil_v that_o if_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o then_o there_o need_v no_o more_o to_o save_v we_o because_o god_n save_v all_o that_o he_o justify_v i_o say_v this_o cavil_v may_v seem_v to_o have_v some_o weight_n in_o it_o if_o god_n do_v justify_v any_o who_o he_o do_v not_o sanctify_v also_o a_o prince_n i_o confess_v may_v sometime_o pardon_v a_o malefactor_a and_o so_o justify_v he_o or_o put_v he_o in●o_o a_o condition_n of_o not-guilty_a without_o make_v he_o a_o honest_a man_n but_o god_n never_o justify_v any_o who_o he_o do_v not_o also_o sanctify_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v here_o the_o same_o thing_n to_o infer_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v sanctify_v without_o holiness_n as_o that_o he_o may_v be_v save_v without_o it_o if_o justify_v by_o faith_n only_o but_o if_o any_o indeed_o there_o be_v i_o confess_v i_o know_v none_o except_o the_o papist_n that_o hold_v a_o man_n may_v be_v justify_v and_o save_v without_o be_v sanctify_v i_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v in_o the_o defence_n of_o such_o nor_o be_v this_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n when_o she_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o and_o for_o any_o to_o load_v her_o doctrine_n with_o such_o consequence_n
