of_o god_n in_o man_n redemption_n nor_o in_o institute_v the_o christian_a religion_n but_o if_o god_n must_v be_v say_v to_o have_v no_o end_n which_o be_v also_o a_o mean_n but_o only_o the_o ultimate_a end_n the_o complacency_n of_o his_o bless_a will_n which_o be_v no_o mean_n but_o all_o be_v mean_n to_o it_o than_o our_o holiness_n be_v none_o of_o god_n end_n but_o one_o mean_n to_o

holiness_n be_v the_o only_a design_n of_o the_o promise_n etc._n etc._n you_o mud_n not_o interpret_v they_o too_o severe_o nor_o suppose_v they_o to_o speak_v proper_o or_o accurate_o but_o only_a be_v a_o hyperbolical_a expression_n as_o many_o use_n the_o word_n infinite_a as_o a_o attribute_n of_o create_a thing_n instead_o of_o great_a doubtless_o he_o intend_v it_o not_o as_o exclusive_a of_o all_o other_o end_n either_o of_o god_n or_o man_n and_o the_o mode_n of_o the_o age_n have_v turn_v accurate_a school-language_n into_o figurative_a and_o such_o as_o rhetorician_n use_v may_v

the_o promise_n or_o of_o christianity_n it_o be_v true_a that_o it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o our_o christianity_n that_o be_v one_o of_o its_o very_a great_a and_o noble_a end_n 47._o the_o

for_o the_o remedying_a part_n or_o faith_n in_o christ_n as_o such_o otherwise_o we_o can_v but_o say_v that_o the_o remedying_a part_n of_o our_o religion_n or_o holiness_n be_v the_o mean_n to_o
