be_v sin_n for_o which_o cause_n the_o apostle_n define_v the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a to_o be_v the_o life_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n galatian_n 2._o 20._o therefore_o for_o the_o better_a keep_v ourselves_o from_o all_o the_o assault_n of_o sathan_n we_o be_v command_v to_o put_v on_o as_o a_o armour_n give_v we_o from_o god_n these_o christian_a virtue_n truth_n

ephesian_n 6_o 10_o 11._o and_o in_o another_o place_n we_o be_v exhort_v by_o the_o apostle_n as_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n holy_a and_o belooved_a to_o put_v on_o the_o bowel_n of_o mercy_n

say_v that_o we_o be_v keep_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n through_o faith_n unto_o salvation_n 1_o ep._n 1_o 5._o thus_o faith_n be_v both_o the_o power_n of_o god_n within_o we_o to_o strengthen_v we_o to_o all_o goodness_n and_o the_o armour_n of_o god_n upon_o we_o to_o keep_v and_o cover_v we_o from_o all_o evil_a for_o which_o cause_n as_o we_o must_v abide_v in_o christ_n and_o christ_n must_v abide_v in_o we_o unto_o salvation_n so_o must_v we_o also_o abide_v in_o faith_n and_o faith_n in_o we_o since_o christ_n be_v neither_o in_o we_o nor_o we_o in_o he_o nor_o live_v we_o in_o he_o nor_o he_o in_o we_o neither_o keep_v he_o we_o nor_o we_o he_o except_o by_o faith_n alove_o now_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o will_n we_o to_o ●ry_v if_o faith_n be_v in_o we_o but_o rather_o if_o we_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n be_v not_o because_o both_o be_v not_o necessary_a or_o that_o the_o one_o can_v possible_o be_v without_o the_o other_o see_v the_o union_n betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n be_v like_a to_o our_o communion_n with_o christ_n himself_o for_o as_o he_o be_v in_o we_o and_o we_o be_v in_o he_o so_o be_v we_o in_o his_o grace_n and_o gift_n and_o they_o be_v in_o we_o even_o as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o father_n in_o he_o but_o the_o cause_n move_v the_o apostle_n to_o speak_v so_o be_v this_o because_o our_o find_n of_o ourselves_o in_o the_o faith_n be_v the_o most_o clear_a evidence_n of_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o ministry_n to_o our_o salvation_n for_o than_o it_o be_v effectual_a when_o not_o only_o it_o do_v work_v faith_n in_o our_o heart_n but_o also_o do_v make_v we_o walk_v in_o it_o so_o that_o as_o in_o our_o knowledge_n will_v or_o affection_n inward_o even_o so_o in_o our_o deed_n external_o we_o manifest_v this_o faith_n not_o go_v in_o any_o thing_n beyond_o the_o measure_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o and_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n it_o be_v a_o woeful_a error_n in_o many_o christian_n to_o satisfy_v themselves_o with_o a_o conceit_n that_o they_o believe_v
