neither_o a_o continue_a act_n nor_o renew_v or_o repeat_v neither_o faith_n nor_o repentance_n afterward_o perform_v be_v any_o condition_n of_o our_o justification_n in_o this_o life_n this_o may_v

in_o that_o you_o judge_v as_o most_o of_o the_o orthodox_n do_v and_o i_o have_v say_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_n i_o think_v also_o that_o as_o scripture_n use_v the_o phrase_n of_o

which_o for_o his_o sin_n past_o only_a be_v before_o in_o force_n against_o he_o and_o so_o if_o you_o look_v to_o such_o a_o remission_n or_o justification_n as_o whole_o change_v the_o state_n of_o
