sin_n nothing_o will_v god_n damn_v a_o man_n and_o send_v he_o to_o hell_n for_o nothing_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o nothing_o as_o you_o make_v it_o a_o man_n be_v not_o damn_v for_o nothing_o it_o be_v a_o nothing_o privative_a a_o absence_n of_o that_o that_o shall_v be_v and_o that_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o have_v as_o when_o a_o scholar_n be_v whip_v for_o not_o say_v his_o

more_o proper_a and_o genuine_a explanation_n beside_o it_o appear_v by_o testimony_n of_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 4.6_o as_o david_n describe_v the_o blessedness_n of_o the_o man_n to_o who_o the_o

his_o argument_n then_o must_v needs_o be_v thus_o frame_v he_o who_o god_n forgive_v be_v bless_v but_o he_o to_o who_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n god_n forgive_v therefore_o he_o be_v bless_v now_o how_o can_v this_o assumption_n hold_v if_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v two_o distinct_a act_n for_o not_o impute_v righteousness_n be_v not_o to_o bring_v in_o a_o light_n which_o keep_v out_o darkness_n but_o observe_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o colossian_n and_o ephesian_n make_v this_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n the_o whole_a work_n

to_o i_o what_o do_v you_o think_v the_o meaning_n be_v that_o god_n do_v esteem_v i_o as_o if_o i_o have_v hang_v on_o the_o cross_n and_o as_o if_o i_o have_v my_o side_n pierce_v no_o that_o will_v

article_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o we_o be_v account_v righteous_a before_o god_n only_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o
