confess_v that_o we_o have_v no_o preparation_n nor_o inclination_n to_o this_o merciful_a and_o effectual_a vocation_n and_o that_o our_o moral_a honesty_n or_o natural_a goodness_n strength_n

the_o lord_n do_v pow'rful_o call_v we_o we_o must_v without_o opposition_n or_o resistance_n turn_v back_o from_o our_o ill_a way_n and_o willing_o follow_v those_o path_n through_o which_o he_o

image_n do_v strengthen_v they_o to_o do_v good_a work_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o their_o maker_n who_o thus_o sanctify_v those_o who_o he_o have_v justify_v lxx_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n justify_v both_o by_o pardon_v sin_n and_o impute_v righteousness_n and_o acknowledge_v this_o remission_n and_o jmputation_n a_o eternal_a and_o free_a action_n of_o god_n who_o for_o christ_n full_a

then_o that_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n which_o our_o faith_n as_o a_o hand_n seize_v thus_o make_v his_o righteousness_n we_o we_o be_v by_o the_o same_o mercy_n and_o merit_n glorify_v yea_o so_o free_o that_o god_n in_o his_o eternal_a will_n have_v predestinate_v we_o to_o glory_n to_o manifâ—st_a the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n in_o our_o perpetual_a happiness_n lxxii_o i_o confess_v then_o that_o by_o grace_n we_o be_v save_v through_o faith_n apprehend_v that_o grace_n god_n offer_v we_o in_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o
