thing_n nobis_fw-la say_v saint_n augustine_n the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n not_o our_o righteousness_n in_o he_o not_o in_o us._n so_o then_o look_v how_o christ_n be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o

of_o life_n it_o be_v in_o a_o word_n the_o renew_a image_n of_o god_n consist_v in_o knowledge_n righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n you_o may_v see_v it_o in_o the_o lesson_n that_o grace_n teach_v all_o her_o child_n 14._o which_o be_v to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n &_o to_o live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n be_v zealous_a of_o good_a work_n justification_n and_o sanctification_n differ_v in_o four_o point_n 1._o justification_n be_v before_o sanctification_n in_o nature_n though_o both_o be_v together_o in_o time_n for_o as_o the_o branch_n must_v first_o be_v in_o the_o vine_n before_o it_o can_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o sap_n bring_v forth_o fruit_n 15.4_o so_o a_o man_n must_v be_v first_o in_o christ_n by_o faith_n before_o he_o can_v be_v a_o new_a creature_n and_o so_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o holiness_n 2._o justification_n be_v without_o we_o in_o christ_n as_o be_v say_v before_o but_o sanctification_n be_v within_o we_o inherent_a and_o infuse_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 3._o justification_n be_v that_o whereby_o we_o stand_v absolve_v and_o make_v just_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o by_o sanctification_n we_o be_v only_o declare_v to_o be_v just_a 4._o justification_n do_v quiet_a the_o conscience_n by_o reconcile_a it_o 5.1_o and_o make_v it_o at_o peace_n with_o god_n for_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n towards_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n but_o sanctification_n can_v do_v so_o because_o our_o best_a action_n be_v imperfect_a and_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o defect_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o pardon_n 130.3_o if_o thou_o lord_n shall_v mark_v iniquity_n o_o lord_n who_o shall_v stand_v now_o that_o sanctification_n be_v also_o the_o church_n peculiar_a hear_v the_o apostle_n show_v the_o difference_n between_o man_n out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o such_o as_o be_v in_o it_o speak_v of_o their_o profaneness_n before_o their_o call_n he_o say_v and_o such_o be_v some_o of_o you_o 6.11_o but_o tell_v they_o of_o their_o change_n he_o add_v but_o you_o be_v wash_v but_o you_o be_v sanctify_v it_o be_v therefore_o the_o stile_n or_o addition_n of_o the_o church_n unto_o the_o church_n of_o god_n say_v saint_n paul_n 1.2_o which_o be_v at_o corinth_n to_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v in_o christ_n jesus_n call_v to_o be_v saint_n and_o we_o believe_v in_o our_o creed_n the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n the_o communion_n of_o saint_n that_o it_o do_v accompany_v salvation_n 6.22_o be_v more_o than_o manifest_a for_o without_o it_o no_o man_n shall_v see_v the_o lord_n but_o be_v ●reed_v from_o sin_n we_o have_v our_o fruit_n in_o holiness_n and_o the_o end_n everlasting_a life_n therefore_o we_o must_v know_v that_o sanctification_n be_v such_o a_o necessary_a antecedent_n though_o no_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o salvation_n that_o notwithstanding_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v for_o the_o merit_n of_o it_o yet_o no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v without_o it_o because_o true_a save_a faith_n the_o instrumental_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o salvation_n 5.6_o

they_o shall_v be_v find_v to_o be_v the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o church_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o there_o only_a salvation_n be_v to_o be_v have_v for_o in_o reason_n the_o end_n can_v

which_o be_v the_o peculiar_a of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n they_o may_v be_v all_o include_v in_o these_o four_o that_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o election_n the_o grace_n of_o vocation_n 6.9_o the_o

the_o faithful_a but_o it_o will_v more_o evident_o appear_v if_o we_o examine_v the_o particular_n as_o for_o predestination_n and_o election_n election_n whereby_o god_n do_v choose_v man_n to_o salvation_n of_o his_o free_a grace_n and_o mercy_n without_o any_o merit_n in_o man_n it_o be_v so_o proper_a to_o the_o church_n that_o s._n peter_n call_v it_o 2.9_o a_o choose_a generation_n a_o peculiar_a people_n s._n paul_n say_v of_o the_o church_n 1.4_o that_o they_o be_v the_o choose_v of_o god_n in_o christ_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n accord_v to_o the_o good_a
