they_o aim_v at_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o they_o do_v not_o shun_v this_o or_o that_o sin_n simple_o because_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n but_o from_o a_o vainglorious_a desire_n of_o reputation_n among_o the_o people_n hence_o it_o follow_v that_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n be_v not_o we_o but_o god_n so_o that_o when_o god_n confer_v glory_n upon_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v

former_a consideration_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o act_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o absolve_v the_o sinner_n and_o repute_v he_o righteous_a for_o the_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o

justify_v make_v no_o physical_a change_n in_o the_o sinner_n as_o the_o papist_n say_v who_o will_v have_v the_o justification_n of_o god_n to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o transubstantiation_n whereby_o one_o thing_n be_v change_v into_o another_o that_o be_v that_o god_n in_o justify_v do_v not_o proceed_v as_o a_o judge_n pronounce_v one_o at_o the_o bar_n innocent_a but_o as_o it_o be_v by_o a_o physical_a immutation_n make_v a_o righteous_a man_n out_o of_o a_o unrighteous_a even_o as_o christ_n turn_v water_n into_o wine_n bellarmine_n becan_n and_o other_o jesuit_n have_v labour_v much_o in_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o assertion_n but_o without_o any_o success_n they_o produce_v nothing_o from_o scripture_n but_o what_o be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o

unreasonable_a that_o they_o do_v not_o deserve_v a_o refutation_n their_o chief_a argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o word_n itself_o for_o say_v they_o to_o justify_v according_a to_o the_o

righteous_a but_o they_o hereby_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v no_o better_a gramarian_n than_o they_o be_v divine_n for_o the_o sense_n of_o a_o word_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o to_o

moreover_o if_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n justify_v than_o there_o will_v be_v no_o difference_n between_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v
