or_o think_v that_o god_n do_v justify_v we_o for_o or_o because_o of_o any_o work_n of_o our_o obedience_n legal_a or_o evangelical_a but_o when_o god_n have_v so_o justify_v we_o when_o he_o come_v to_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o his_o sentence_n in_o judgement_n he_o may_v and_o will_v fetch_v that_o reason_n partly_o from_o our_o obedience_n or_o our_o performance_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o
