partly_o outward_a the_o inward_a part_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o be_v christ_n be_v cloud_v and_o very_o dark_a as_o be_v say_v before_o and_o very_o etc._n little_a notice_n take_v of_o it_o

from_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o son_n and_o from_o the_o son_n upon_o the_o saint_n and_o into_o their_o heart_n and_o now_o the_o saint_n look_v not_o for_o christ_n 21._o in_o outward_a

for_o if_o faith_n be_v a_o condition_n of_o our_o justification_n than_o it_o be_v not_o free_a justification_n be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n in_o his_o eternal_a counsel_n 29._o and_o purpose_n before_o

neither_o a_o mean_n nor_o yet_o any_o condition_n of_o justification_n but_o rather_o a_o evidence_n or_o demonstration_n thereof_o for_o true_a faith_n be_v that_o whereby_o we_o close_v 44._o with_o god_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n in_o and_o by_o jesus_n christ_n now_o this_o faith_n be_v not_o in_o we_o by_o nature_n but_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n 17._o in_o the_o soul_n when_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o reveal_v christ_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o to_o discover_v to_o the_o same_o that_o he_o be_v well_o

as_o righteous_a in_o his_o belove_a son_n and_o that_o in_o christ_n he_o have_v adopt_v he_o to_o himself_o to_o be_v his_o son_n now_o when_o the_o soul_n apprehend_v 21_o this_o than_o it_o be_v thereby_o enable_v to_o believe_v it_o and_o rest_v upon_o it_o and_o thus_o true_a faith_n do_v not_o act_n in_o the_o work_n of_o justification_n but_o only_o believe_v it_o when_o it_o be_v

can_v believe_v 44._o in_o jesus_n christ_n until_o he_o be_v reveal_v unto_o he_o by_o the_o father_n and_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n or_o degree_n whereby_o god_n be_v please_v to_o
