i_o have_v reason_n to_o suspect_v w._n l._n also_o for_o in_o a_o certain_a discourse_n he_o have_v with_o r._n s._n a_o good_a friend_n of_o i_o about_o two_o year_n ago_o he_o plead_v for_o a_o

you_o may_v die_v before_o you_o have_v attain_v it_o how_o then_o can_v you_o think_v to_o stand_v justify_v before_o god_n it_o can_v be_v by_o your_o own_o personal_a righteousness_n for_o that_o you_o confess_v you_o have_v it_o not_o i_o shall_v be_v amaze_v to_o hear_v he_o utter_v such_o expression_n so_o contrary_a thereunto_o as_o these_o be_v in_o his_o book_n but_o that_o i_o

to_o suppose_v the_o good_a deed_n they_o perform_v in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o their_o life_n shall_v make_v compensation_n for_o their_o former_a evil_a deed_n which_o will_v proclaim_v to_o all_o intelligent_a man_n not_o only_o that_o they_o hold_v justification_n by_o their_o own_o personal_a righteousness_n exclusive_a of_o christ_n righteousness_n which_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n in_o the_o strict_a notion_n be_v the_o next_o principle_n we_o be_v to_o inquire_v into_o but_o also_o that_o they_o do_v hold_v that_o other_o popish_a principle_n to_o believe_v that_o
