do_v be_v the_o voice_n of_o repent_v saul_n it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o we_o read_v god_n justify_v the_o ungodly_a but_o the_o answer_n be_v clear_a the_o apostle_n do_v not_o intend_v by_o the_o ungodly_a a_o impenitent_a sinner_n but_o make_v the_o opposition_n between_o the_o ungodly_a and_o one_o that_o perfect_o obey_v the_o law_n and_o be_v consequent_o justify_v by_o work_n and_o

all_o other_o grace_n be_v derive_v to_o we_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v two_o mean_n of_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n the_o principal_n be_v the_o quicken_a spirit_n descend_v from_o christ_n as_o the_o fountain_n of_o the_o supernatural_a life_n and_o a_o lively_a faith_n wrought_v in_o we_o by_o his_o pure_a and_o powerful_a operation_n that_o ascend_v from_o we_o and_o close_v

the_o mean_n of_o convey_v all_o grace_n to_o we_o from_o christ._n 2._o there_o be_v two_o act_n of_o faith_n the_o first_o respect_v the_o general_n offer_v of_o pardon_n in_o the_o gospel_n to_o all_o repent_v believe_a sinner_n the_o second_o be_v the_o application_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o pardon_n to_o the_o soul_n the_o first_o be_v antecedent_n to_o evangelical_a repentance_n the_o second_o be_v clear_o consequent_a in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o promise_n assure_v pardon_n only_o to_o the_o weary_a and_o heavy_a lade_v that_o come_v to_o christ_n for_o rest._n in_o short_a there_o be_v a_o perfect_a agreement_n and_o sympathy_n between_o reason_n and_o divine_a revelation_n in_o this_o doctrine_n that_o god_n pardon_v only_o the_o repent_a sinner_n the_o

who_o god_n justify_v he_o glorify_v the_o formal_a effect_n of_o justification_n be_v the_o restore_v we_o to_o the_o forfeit_a favour_n of_o god_n and_o from_o that_o fountain_n all_o bless_a
