pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o a_o pardon_n past_a and_o do_v etc._n etc._n i_o have_v already_o show_v you_o that_o the_o essence_n and_o marrow_n of_o justify_v faith_n consist_v in_o the_o

in_o its_o direct_a act_n not_o in_o its_o reflect_v act_n and_o therefore_o our_o divine_n make_v a_o distinction_n betwixt_o a_o soul_n application_n of_o its_o self_n to_o the_o promise_n and_o a_o soul_n application_n of_o the_o promise_n to_o itself_o and_o grant_v that_o there_o may_v be_v in_o the_o soul_n a_o certainty_n of_o faith_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o object_n though_o not_o a_o

it_o be_v a_o acquit_v of_o the_o guilty_a soul_n before_o god_n for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o now_o how_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v actual_o acquit_v before_o it_o be_v actual_o and_o
