which_o we_o call_v whiten_v therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o form_n or_o formal_a cause_n of_o this_o act_n of_o whiten_v be_v the_o whiteness_n or_o whitednesse_n of_o the_o wall_n thus_o far_o then_o the_o ground_n be_v firm_a under_o we_o let_v we_o therefore_o go_v forward_o and_o assume_v but_o remission_n of_o sin_n give_v the_o denomination_n of_o justify_v to_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v therefore_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o form_n or_o formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n the_o assumption_n i_o thus_o further_o demonstrate_v if_o a_o sinner_n be_v
