show_v it_o to_o be_v the_o argument_n of_o god_n own_o spirit_n when_o as_o the_o apostle_n conclude_v after_o this_o manner_n therefore_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v

work_n of_o the_o law_n for_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v therefore_o the_o same_o apostle_n paul_n albeit_o he_o be_v unrebukeable_a touch_v the_o

that_o the_o next_o and_o immediate_a end_n of_o our_o justification_n be_v our_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n for_o be_v justify_v we_o have_v peace_n towards_o god_n say_v the_o

by_o justify_v 2_o cor._n 5._o 19_o for_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_a the_o world_n to_o himself_o by_o not_o impute_v to_o they_o their_o sin_n which_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o say_v that_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_n the_o world_n to_o himself_o by_o justify_v they_o second_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o there_o be_v no_o reconciliation_n betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o without_o a_o mediator_n therefore_o the_o law_n be_v not_o give_v but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o mediator_n gall._n 3._o 19_o neither_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o the_o gospel_n confirm_v without_o a_o mediator_n and_o all_o confirmation_n of_o whatsoever_o covenant_n be_v by_o blood_n because_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o purgation_n nor_o justification_n from_o sin_n and_o that_o by_o he_o who_o be_v mediator_n for_o than_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o peace_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n confirm_v when_o he_o who_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o covenant_n have_v by_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o blood_n purge_v away_o all_o filthiness_n and_o obtain_v full_a remission_n as_o be_v clear_a by_o the_o 9_o to_o the_o hebr._n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o
