short_a paul_n know_v nothing_o wherein_o he_o have_v deal_v unfaithful_o and_o yet_o be_v he_o not_o thereby_o justify_v 1_o cor._n 4.4_o but_o he_o that_o justify_v i_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o trust_v upon_o a_o gift_n and_o thereby_o to_o be_v justify_v and_o accept_v you_o declare_v your_o grace_n to_o be_v but_o common_a and_o such_o as_o be_v but_o find_v among_o

common_a grace_n do_v plain_o show_v that_o christ_n profit_v they_o nothing_o and_o further_o as_o you_o be_v not_o to_o trust_v upon_o they_o for_o justification_n so_o neither_o be_v you_o to_o

grace_n of_o god_n which_o flow_v from_o our_o fellowship_n with_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n because_o these_o be_v part_n of_o our_o sanctification_n you_o may_v look_v at_o they_o as_o precious_a

you_o shall_v do_v valiant_o and_o bring_v mighty_a thing_n to_o pass_v and_o be_v a_o fruitful_a christian_a you_o have_v truth_n of_o grace_n sound_v heart_v save_v grace_n and_o you_o doubt_v not_o but_o god_n will_v carry_v you_o a_o end_n in_o a_o comfortable_a christian_a course_n if_o so_o you_o will_v find_v this_o to_o be_v true_a that_o you_o will_v want_v christ_n in_o the_o quicken_a

gal._n 2.20_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a point_n that_o concern_v our_o christian_a practice_n and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o consider_v it_o this_o note_v this_o the_o life_n of_o

you_o you_o must_v then_o live_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v not_o only_o look_v for_o your_o justification_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n but_o look_v for_o your_o sanctification_n and_o consolation_n from_o christ_n by_o faith_n that_o if_o you_o go_v about_o any_o duty_n go_v not_o about_o it_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o grace_n receive_v preach_v not_o or_o pray_v not_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o your_o knowledge_n and_o love_n and_o zeal_n and_o humility_n but_o go_v about_o they_o all_o in_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v by_o come_v to_o he_o and_o be_v inward_o sensible_a that_o unless_o he_o put_v new_a life_n into_o we_o and_o make_v new_a work_n in_o our_o soul_n we_o may_v have_v but_o a_o dead_a business_n of_o it_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o

they_o be_v at_o another_o only_o by_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o put_v life_n into_o our_o duty_n therefore_o if_o you_o will_v find_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o life_n of_o your_o

of_o self_n love_n many_o a_o man_n will_v have_v his_o sin_n pardon_v because_o he_o will_v have_v his_o conscience_n at_o quiet_a we_o may_v thank_v ourselves_o for_o such_o affection_n as_o these_o
