faith_n before_o he_o can_v be_v a_o new_a creature_n and_o so_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o holiness_n 2._o justification_n be_v without_o we_o in_o christ_n as_o be_v say_v before_o but_o sanctification_n be_v within_o we_o inherent_a and_o infuse_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 3._o justification_n be_v that_o whereby_o we_o stand_v absolve_v and_o make_v just_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o by_o sanctification_n we_o be_v only_o declare_v to_o be_v just_a 4._o justification_n do_v quiet_a the_o conscience_n by_o reconcile_a it_o 5.1_o and_o make_v it_o at_o peace_n with_o god_n for_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n towards_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n but_o sanctification_n can_v do_v so_o because_o our_o best_a action_n be_v imperfect_a and_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o defect_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o pardon_n 130.3_o if_o thou_o lord_n shall_v mark_v iniquity_n o_o lord_n who_o shall_v stand_v now_o that_o sanctification_n be_v also_o the_o church_n peculiar_a hear_v the_o apostle_n show_v the_o difference_n between_o man_n out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o such_o as_o be_v in_o it_o speak_v of_o their_o
