that_o there_o be_v a_o justification_n before_o man_n and_o a_o justification_n before_o god_n the_o former_a be_v but_o the_o manifestation_n of_o justification_n the_o latter_a be_v the_o be_v of_o

from_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n to_o which_o i_o can_v agree_v for_o then_o there_o behove_v to_o be_v a_o act_n of_o justification_n whenever_o there_o be_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n which_o

that_o conformity_n be_v sanctity_n or_o holiness_n not_o only_o in_o conformity_n to_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n which_o will_v not_o reach_v many_o duty_n of_o man_n holiness_n but_o conformity_n to_o his_o son_n god-man_n which_o comprehend_v they_o all_o other_o make_v justification_n a_o judicial_a act_n whether_o before_o time_n after_o time_n or_o in_o time_n suppose_v god_n to_o charge_v a_o man_n as_o a_o criminal_a with_o the_o gild_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o that_o christ_n for_o the_o sinner_n or_o he_o for_o himself_o plead_v christ_n satisfaction_n and_o thereupon_o god_n do_v

which_o will_v appear_v by_o that_o excellent_a parallel_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n betwixt_o the_o first_o and_o second_o adam_n it_o have_v be_v the_o common_a opinion_n of_o christian_n that_o there_o be_v a_o covenant_n between_o god_n and_o adam_n upon_o solid_a ground_n it_o be_v certain_o a_o great_a condescension_n and_o kindness_n in_o god_n to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o
