alone_o or_o sanctification_n and_o remission_n conjunct_a as_o make_v up_o our_o righteousness_n as_o the_o papist_n do_v though_o we_o deny_v not_o but_o sometime_o the_o word_n may_v be_v find_v

of_o a_o efficient_a cause_n and_o thus_o some_o divine_n do_v seem_v to_o take_v it_o when_o they_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n blood_n and_o righteousness_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n in_o he_o as_o a_o teacher_n or_o a_o lord_n which_o occasion_v the_o papist_n to_o say_v our_o difference_n be_v wide_a than_o indeed_o it_o be_v for_o the_o word_n by_o have_v a_o

that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o by_o these_o question_a act_n in_o particular_a and_o therefore_o those_o protestant_n that_o dispute_v against_o we_o who_o be_v for_o the_o
