two_o thing_n be_v of_o undoubted_a certainty_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n that_o die_v entitle_v to_o it_o and_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n that_o die_v in_o

justification_n it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o faith_n in_o the_o great_a latitude_n as_o comprehend_v repentance_n and_o sincere_a obedience_n for_o how_o can_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o and_o yet_o be_v justify_v by_o obedience_n too_o unless_o our_o obedience_n be_v include_v in_o our_o faith_n and_o indeed_o the_o scripture_n plain_o declare_v that_o faith_n itself_o be_v not_o at_o all_o available_a with_o god_n unless_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o sincere_a obedience_n so_o gal._n 5.6_o in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v nor_o

also_o be_v dead_a without_o work_n that_o be_v it_o be_v altogether_o ineffectual_a for_o so_o if_o you_o compare_v the_o 14._o and_o 17._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n you_o will_v find_v that_o those_o two_o phrase_n faith_n can_v save_v and_o faith_n be_v dead_a do_v both_o signify_v the_o same_o thing_n since_o therefore_o faith_n itself_o without_o obedience_n be_v unavailable_a when_o the_o scripture_n make_v mention_n of_o our_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n it_o must_v necessary_o be_v understand_v of_o faith_n comprehend_v obedience_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o god_n the_o

sacrifice_n and_o upon_o condition_n of_o our_o sincere_a repentance_n and_o future_a obedience_n and_o this_o be_v the_o groundwork_n and_o foundation_n of_o all_o remission_n of_o sin_n without_o which_o our_o saviour_n himself_o have_v no_o right_a to_o pardon_v and_o forgive_v we_o for_o since_o the_o law_n against_o which_o we_o have_v all_o sin_v be_v peculiarly_a from_o god_n the_o

whole_o in_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n so_o be_v it_o also_o to_o accept_v the_o consideration_n and_o appoint_v the_o condition_n of_o it_o so_o that_o now_o as_o none_o can_v be_v pardon_v but_o upon_o his_o grant_n so_o neither_o can_v his_o grant_n be_v available_a to_o any_o but_o upon_o that_o consideration_n which_o he_o have_v accept_v viz._n the_o precious_a sacrifice_n of_o his_o

consider_v as_o king_n under_o god_n the_o father_n be_v to_o make_v a_o actual_a and_o particular_a application_n of_o this_o general_a grant_n of_o his_o father_n to_o particular_a sinner_n upon_o their_o faith_n and_o repentance_n for_o the_o father_n grant_n be_v only_o a_o general_a promise_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v pardon_v for_o christ_n sake_n whenever_o we_o sincere_o believe_v and_o
