of_o ourselves_o to_o piety_n to_o be_v the_o formality_n of_o repentance_n will_v plain_o see_v that_o faith_n unite_n we_o to_o christ_n and_o derive_v to_o we_o the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n that_o we_o may_v be_v holy_a do_v precede_n and_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o true_a repentance_n let_v i_o then_o dismiss_v this_o rule_n with_o this_o note_n or_o

not_o need_v repentance_n whilst_o he_o pretend_v to_o enforce_v it_o but_o the_o true_a frame_n of_o a_o gospel_n penitent_n be_v by_o save_a faith_n to_o see_v salvation_n through_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n extend_v to_o sinner_n himself_o not_o exclude_v and_o so_o close_v with_o accept_v of_o and_o appropriate_v to_o himself_o the_o general_a tender_n of_o
