great_a instrument_n of_o justification_n and_o my_o beloved_n this_o be_v the_o absolute_a answer_n to_o the_o question_n because_o god_n have_v only_o appoint_v it_o there_o may_v be_v some_o

that_o faith_n do_v the_o work_n it_o be_v not_o from_o any_o inherent_a worth_n in_o the_o grace_n alas_o what_o be_v the_o worth_n of_o a_o sinner_n hand_n to_o take_v a_o glorious_a christ_n but_o
