any_o time_n trouble_v in_o our_o conscience_n we_o present_o call_v some_o promise_n or_o other_o to_o mind_n in_o the_o scripture_n or_o think_v of_o some_o comfortable_a text_n and_o so_o slight_v

upon_o ourselves_o as_o elect_v in_o christ_n before_o the_o world_n and_o that_o we_o have_v know_v a_o time_n when_o he_o call_v we_o by_o his_o grace_n in_o the_o use_n of_o ordinance_n and_o speak_v peace_n to_o we_o afterward_o by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o scripture_n apply_v some_o promise_n to_o we_o and_o have_v learned_a and_o know_v these_o thing_n we_o believe_v we_o can_v

we_o before_o we_o have_v commit_v one_o sin_n in_o our_o own_o person_n for_o justification_n be_v but_o one_o entire_a act_n and_o be_v perfect_a but_o our_o sanctification_n be_v gradual_a and_o imperfect_a and_o salvation_n be_v not_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v but_o of_o grace_n free_o and_o so_o we_o never_o mind_v much_o what_o be_v in_o we_o we_o know_v there_o be_v enough_o in_o christ_n and_o for_o our_o sin_n they_o can_v separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o our_o holiness_n or_o righteousness_n though_o we_o be_v never_o so_o strict_a commend_v we_o not_o to_o god_n for_o if_o we_o be_v elect_v our_o sin_n shall_v not_o destroy_v or_o damn_v we_o and_o if_o we_o be_v reprobate_v by_o god_n our_o righteousness_n or_o strictness_n in_o holiness_n can_v help_v we_o or_o save_v we_o and_o so_o all_o our_o comfort_n be_v in_o a_o christ_n without_o we_o and_o in_o what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o already_o but_o for_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o that_o be_v spiritual_a or_o for_o christ_n to_o be_v in_o we_o form_v there_o and_o to_o dwell_v and_o inhabit_v there_o and_o we_o to_o feel_v he_o and_o know_v his_o

we_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o he_o who_o work_v in_o we_o and_o not_o for_o our_o work_n be_v that_o which_o we_o look_v upon_o as_o legal_a and_o dangerous_a to_o be_v lead_v and_o guide_v and_o

they_o be_v redeem_v out_o of_o it_o while_o they_o walk_v up_o and_o down_o in_o it_o but_o this_o way_n we_o like_v not_o but_o rather_o a_o zeal_n for_o outward_a ordinance_n and_o outward_a
