the_o just_a revenge_n of_o god_n which_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v consistent_a with_o a_o state_n of_o justification_n and_o then_o second_o as_o their_o sin_n deserve_v god_n curse_n &_o wrath_n so_o the_o many_o sharp_a &_o sore_a affliction_n which_o they_o be_v make_v to_o lie_v under_o both_o be_v effect_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n &_o fruit_n of_o the_o curse_n &_o also_o will_v say_v that_o that_o state_n be_v such_o as_o can_v be_v break_v off_o or_o at_o least_o be_v not_o perfect_a as_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v now_o for_o clear_v of_o the_o truth_n former_o assert_v &_o

that_o every_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n &_o weakness_n which_o believer_n commit_v do_v or_o can_v cut_v they_o off_o from_o the_o state_n of_o justification_n for_o than_o they_o shall_v never_o

no_o man_n shall_v stand_v even_o the_o best_a of_o their_o action_n be_v defile_v with_o sin_n and_o they_o can_v answer_v for_o one_o of_o a_o thousand_o so_o that_o either_o it_o must_v be_v say_v there_o be_v no_o state_n of_o justification_n or_o that_o it_o be_v consistent_a with_o sin_n in_o the_o justify_v justification_n though_o it_o take_v away_o all_o the_o guilt_n of_o by_o paft_n sin_n and_o free_a the_o believer_n from_o that_o obnoxiousness_n to_o the_o wrath_n &_o curse_n of_o god_n which_o they_o be_v former_o under_o yet_o it_o prevent_v not_o all_o future_a sin_n not_o do_v it_o put_v the_o believer_n into_o a_o perfect_a sinless_a state_n nay_o nor_o do_v it_o kill_v any_o one_o sin_n as_o to_o its_o be_v but_o only_o take_v away_o the_o guilt_n offensiveness_n &_o the_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n or_o the_o reatus_fw-la poenae_fw-la whereby_o the_o sinner_n be_v bind_v over_o unto_o the_o penalty_n 2._o as_o for_o such_o sin_n as_o we_o may_v suppose_v if_o

mediation_n of_o christ_n &_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n be_v as_o it_o be_v engage_v to_o keep_v the_o justify_v from_o fall_v into_o they_o as_o all_o the_o argument_n prove_v the_o perseverance_n of_o the_o saint_n do_v abundant_o evince_v 3._o though_o every_o sin_n be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o still_o remain_v in_o force_n to_o

of_o the_o law_n yet_o these_o sin_n do_v not_o annul_v the_o state_n of_o justification_n nor_o interupt_v it_o 1_o because_o notwithstanding_o thereof_o all_o their_o former_a sin_n of_o which_o they_o be_v pardon_v remain_v pardon_v &_o do_v not_o bring_v they_o again_o under_o the_o curse_n &_o their_o right_n to_o the_o inheritance_n remain_v fi●me_v through_o jesus_n christ._n 2_o
