be_v a_o comprehensive_a word_n for_o all_o that_o the_o gospel_n require_v at_o our_o hand_n for_o by_o believe_v in_o christ_n the_o scripture_n intend_v such_o a_o closure_n with_o he_o as_o

upon_o that_o account_n to_o believe_v and_o to_o obey_v be_v often_o in_o scripture_n put_v one_o for_o the_o other_o promiscuous_o and_o so_o be_v unbelief_n and_o disobedience_n all_o obedience_n

and_o whoever_o do_v so_o oblige_v himself_o therey_a to_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o christianity_n but_o upon_o no_o one_o of_o these_o account_n can_v faith_n be_v say_v to_o justify_v 〈◊〉_d bare_o as_o a_o instrument_n but_o as_o it_o be_v comprehensive_a and_o productive_a of_o all_o other_o gospel-duty_n and_o by_o the_o subsequent_a performance_n of_o they_o faith_n as_o st._n james_n tell_v we_o be_v perfect_v it_o be_v the_o fear_n many_o good_a man_n have_v of_o intere_v any_o work_n or_o any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o justification_n and_o eclipse_v free_a grace_n thereby_o that_o

and_o so_o justify_v by_o their_o merit_n as_o to_o put_v we_o out_o of_o need_n of_o grace_n and_o render_v it_o useless_a but_o invent_v that_o unscriptural_a notion_n of_o its_o instrumentality_n
