the_o apostle_n be_v of_o this_o kind_n of_o work_n of_o the_o law_n appear_v by_o the_o whole_a strain_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n chap._n 1_o 2_o 3_o and_o 4._o for_o after_o in_o

may_v be_v stretch_v that_o length_n as_o to_o become_v very_o please_v to_o wicked_a man_n that_o love_v to_o abide_v in_o their_o sin_n for_o if_o we_o be_v make_v righteous_a as_o christ_n be_v make_v a_o sinner_n mere_o by_o imputation_n then_o as_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n not_o in_o the_o least_o in_o christ_n so_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o there_o need_v no_o more_o righteousness_n no_o

the_o follow_a chapter_n he_o argue_v large_o against_o any_o suppose_a agreement_n of_o light_n and_o darkness_n righteousness_n and_o vnrighteousness_n which_o must_v needs_o be_v admit_v if_o man_n

unrighteous_a and_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v think_v strange_a how_o some_o man_n have_v make_v this_o so_o fundamental_a a_o article_n of_o their_o faith_n which_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o the_o whole_a strain_n of_o the_o gospel_n a_o thing_n christ_n in_o none_o of_o all_o his_o sermon_n and_o gracious_a speech_n ever_o will_v any_o to_o rely_v upon_o always_o recommend_v to_o we_o work_v as_o instrumental_a to_o our_o justification_n and_o the_o more_o it_o be_v to_o be_v admire_v at_o because_o that_o that_o sentence_n or_o term_n so_o frequent_a in_o their_o mouth_n and_o so_o

bible_n at_o lest_o as_o to_o my_o observation_n thus_o have_v i_o pass_v through_o the_o first_o part_n and_o that_o the_o more_o brief_o because_o many_o who_o assert_v this_o justification_n by_o bare_a imputation_n do_v nevertheless_o confess_v that_o even_o the_o elect_n be_v not_o justify_v until_o they_o be_v convert_v that_o be_v not_o until_o this_o imputative_a justification_n be_v apply_v to_o they_o by_o the_o spirit_n §_o vii_o i_o come_v then_o to_o the_o second_o thing_n propose_v by_o i_o which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v by_o this_o inward_a birth_n or_o christ_n form_v within_o that_o we_o be_v so_o to_o speak_v formal_o justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n i_o suppose_v i_o have_v say_v enough_o already_o to_o demonstrate_v how_o much_o we_o ascribe_v to_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n as_o that_o whereby_o satisfaction_n be_v make_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n remission_n of_o sin_n obtain_v and_o this_o grace_n and_o seed_n purchase_v by_o and_o from_o which_o this_o birth_n proceed_v the_o thing_n now_o to_o be_v prove_v be_v that_o by_o christ_n jesus_n form_v in_o we_o we_o be_v justify_v or_o make_v just._n let_v it_o be_v

you_o but_o you_o be_v wash_v but_o you_o be_v sanctify_v but_o you_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o god_n first_o this_o justify_v here_o understand_v must_v needs_o be_v a_o be_v real_o make_v just_o and_o not_o a_o be_v mere_o impute_v such_o else_o sanctify_a and_o wash_v may_v be_v repute_v a_o be_v esteem_v so_o and_o not_o a_o be_v real_o so_o and_o than_o it_o overturn_v the_o whole_a intent_n of_o the_o context_n for_o the_o apostle_n show_v they_o in_o the_o precede_a verse_n how_o the_o unrighteous_a can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o descend_v to_o the_o several_a species_n of_o wickedness_n subsume_v that_o they_o be_v sometime_o such_o but_o now_o be_v not_o any_o more_o such_o wherefore_o as_o
