by_o the_o word_n of_o a_o free_a promise_n unto_o sanctification_n indeed_o he_o do_v bear_v witness_n in_o any_o promise_n as_o if_o the_o question_n be_v about_o abraham_n sanctification_n how_o

for_o his_o justification_n the_o lord_n have_v reveal_v that_o in_o another_o promise_n gen._n 15.5_o 6._o wherein_o god_n bring_v he_o forth_o and_o bid_v he_o look_v now_o towards_o heaven_n and_o

reveal_v nothing_o but_o his_o free_a grace_n without_o any_o respect_n unto_o any_o goodness_n in_o abraham_n faith_n be_v in_o he_o before_o and_o have_v put_v forth_o itself_o by_o faith_n when_o

as_o often_o as_o this_o be_v reveal_v so_o often_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n reveal_v unto_o the_o soul_n for_o it_o be_v nothing_o that_o god_n see_v in_o abraham_n for_o which_o he_o do_v reveal_v his_o justification_n to_o he_o but_o this_o he_o do_v free_o of_o his_o grace_n and_o so_o abraham_n receive_v it_o rom._n 4.4_o 5_o 6._o etc._n etc._n to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o but_o believe_v on_o he_o that_o justifi_v the_o ungodly_a his_o faith_n be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n which_o show_v we_o that_o abraham_n look_v at_o himself_o as_o a_o ungodly_a man_n when_o he_o consider_v his_o justification_n not_o but_o that_o abraham_n be_v now_o godly_a in_o scripture_n account_v before_o but_o he_o look_v at_o he_o that_o justifi_v the_o ungodly_a as_o david_n describe_v the_o blessedness_n of_o the_o man_n to_o who_o the_o lord_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n for_o thus_o the_o lord_n set_v it_o home_o unto_o the_o heart_n without_o work_n say_v bless_a be_v the_o man_n who_o iniquity_n be_v forgive_v and_o who_o sin_n be_v cover_v so_o it_o be_v free_a blessedness_n that_o the_o lord_n reveal_v unto_o the_o soul_n and_o lest_o you_o shall_v think_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v peculiar_a to_o abraham_n and_o david_n etc._n etc._n he_o tell_v we_o ver_fw-la 23_o 24._o that_o it_o be_v not_o write_v for_o his_o sake_n alone_o that_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o but_o for_o we_o also_o etc._n etc._n as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a so_o it_o be_v also_o with_o all_o believer_n which_o be_v his_o child_n that_o as_o he_o consider_v not_o his_o own_o body_n that_o be_v dead_a nor_o the_o deadness_n of_o sarah_n womb_n so_o neither_o shall_v we_o consider_v this_o or_o that_o in_o our_o body_n or_o soul_n for_o if_o we_o be_v thus_o and_o thus_o fit_v for_o justification_n than_o the_o reward_n will_v be_v of_o work_n and_o so_o a_o debt_n unto_o we_o now_o though_o work_v be_v there_o when_o justification_n be_v again_o and_o again_o reveal_v yet_o it_o come_v not_o into_o sight_n for_o a_o double_a reason_n first_o reas_n 1_o because_o when_o the_o lord_n appear_v as_o justify_v the_o soul_n he_o sit_v upon_o a_o throne_n of_o justice_n and_o a_o throne_n of_o grace_n together_o not_o accept_v any_o righteousness_n but_o that_o which_o be_v complete_a and_o adequate_a rom._n 3.26_o to_o declare_v i_o say_v at_o this_o time_n his_o righteousness_n that_o he_o may_v be_v just_a and_o the_o justifier_n of_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o jesus_n it_o be_v not_o justice_n for_o god_n to_o pronounce_v a_o man_n just_a upon_o any_o other_o righteousness_n beside_o the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o son_n for_o if_o god_n shall_v mark_v what_o we_o have_v do_v no_o flesh_n live_v shall_v be_v justify_v in_o his_o sight_n psa_n 143.2_o but_o through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v perfect_a the_o lord_n justify_v every_o one_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o that_o act_n of_o faith_n whereby_o a_o man_n take_v hold_v on_o christ_n and_o receive_v christ_n that_o be_v it_o which_o quiet_v the_o soul_n for_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v justify_v any_o simple_a work_n of_o i_o for_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v justify_v i_o so_o my_o own_o clothes_n will_v defile_v i_o and_o if_o i_o shall_v come_v before_o he_o with_o any_o work_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v in_o i_o to_o be_v accept_v for_o it_o this_o will_v be_v preposterous_a and_o out_o of_o place_n for_o he_o will_v have_v a_o full_a righteousness_n to_o accept_v i_o before_o he_o will_v pronounce_v i_o righteous_a and_o therefore_o i_o be_o first_o call_v to_o his_o son_n for_o as_o there_o be_v no_o more_o require_v to_o make_v i_o a_o sinful_a man_n but_o that_o i_o be_v find_v in_o adam_n so_o there_o be_v no_o more_o require_v to_o my_o justification_n but_o that_o i_o shall_v have_v union_n with_o the_o second_o adam_n second_o reas_n 2_o as_o the_o lord_n do_v sit_v upon_o a_o throne_n of_o justice_n when_o he_o justify_v a_o soul_n so_o he_o do_v also_o upon_o a_o throne_n of_o grace_n rom._n 3.24_o we_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n therefore_o he_o will_v not_o justify_v any_o man_n upon_o work_n lest_o they_o shall_v boast_v before_o he_o and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v true_a that_o if_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o declare_v his_o acceptance_n of_o the_o sanctification_n of_o his_o people_n he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o worth_n of_o their_o work_n but_o according_a to_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o promise_n but_o be_v not_o my_o sanctification_n a_o work_n of_o free_a
