they_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n they_o can_v not_o be_v thus_o unblameable_a and_o unreprovable_a in_o any_o sense_n and_o after_o they_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n we_o must_v suppose_v that_o there_o be_v many_o defect_n in_o they_o which_o if_o god_n have_v be_v extreme_a to_o observe_v in_o the_o great_a rigour_n they_o can_v not_o have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v defend_v themselves_o against_o his_o severe_a scrutiny_n yet_o they_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n through_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n those_o instance_n of_o new_a obedience_n which_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v true_o proceed_v from_o the_o honesty_n and_o integrity_n of_o their_o heart_n be_v so_o favourable_o accept_v of_o that_o he_o that_o have_v before_o reconcile_v their_o person_n to_o god_n through_o his_o death_n can_v consequent_o represent_v what_o they_o thus_o faithful_o do_v as_o holy_a unblameable_a and_o unreprovable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n that_o be_v acceptable_a in_o his_o
