we_o will_v careful_o notice_n the_o different_a question_n handle_v by_o the_o two_o apostle_n s._n paul_n and_o s._n james_n the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o

have_v perfect_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o to_o hammer_v down_o these_o proud_a justiciaries_n he_o conclude_v that_o the_o only_a ground_n of_o this_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n before_o god_n be_v the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n lay_v hold_v upon_o by_o faith_n and_o total_o seclude_v good_a work_n from_o have_v any_o causal_a influence_n upon_o
