by_o this_o sufficiency_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v lay_v hold_v upon_o it_o by_o a_o lively_a faith_n this_o be_v that_o which_o unite_v we_o unto_o christ_n and_o make_v we_o one_o with_o he_o this_o be_v that_o which_o give_v we_o interest_n in_o he_o and_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o merit_n this_o make_v the_o death_n and_o obedience_n of_o christ_n as_o very_o our_o own_o and_o as_o effectual_a for_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v perform_v by_o our_o very_a self_n so_o that_o if_o we_o do_v true_o

hereupon_o it_o may_v be_v thus_o reply_v the_o second_o question_n if_o i_o can_v obtain_v the_o pardon_n of_o my_o sin_n and_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n without_o faith_n in_o christ_n i_o doubt_v
