A47601	A medium betwixt two extremes wherein it is proved that the whole first Adam was condemned and the whole second Adam justified : being a sermon lately preached on Rom. 8:1 and now published to prevent the further controversy (in one main point) about justification : to which are added reflections on some passages in Mr. Clark's new book called Scripture-Justification / by Benjamin Keach.

the_o object_n of_o faith_n not_o jesus_n christ_n that_o faith_n apprehend_v and_o we_o alone_o trust_v in_o but_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o justify_v we_o comprehensive_o take_v that_o be_v faith_n
