work_n be_v meritorious_a of_o condemnation_n therefore_o good_a work_n wrought_v by_o we_o in_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n but_o t._n danson_n do_v

assist_v to_o do_v they_o by_o the_o spirit_n by_o fulfil_v the_o term_n of_o the_o law_n or_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o because_o christ_n be_v not_o mere_a man_n but_o both_o god_n and_o man_n
