which_o comprehend_v the_o express_a doctrine_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n they_o will_v forbear_v to_o object_v to_o we_o that_o we_o injure_v the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o

already_o evince_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n judge_v it_o sufficient_a to_o inform_v and_o teach_v catholic_n that_o this_o practice_n be_v good_a &_o useful_a without_o advance_v it_o further_o so_o that_o the_o church_n intent_n be_v to_o condemn_v such_o as_o reject_v this_o practice_n either_o by_o contempt_n or_o misconstruction_n and_o the_o church_n be_v oblige_v to_o condemn_v they_o

that_o this_o seem_v the_o most_o necessary_a point_n to_o be_v right_o understand_v first_o we_o believe_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v free_o by_o the_o divine_a mercy_n for_o jesvs-christ's_a

which_o precede_v our_o justification_n either_o our_o faith_n or_o our_o work_n can_v merit_v this_o grace_n and_o by_o reason_n the_o holy_a scripture_n explain_v to_o we_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n express_v it_o some_o time_n by_o say_v that_o god_n cover_v they_o and_o other_o that_o he_o take_v they_o quite_o away_o and_o efface_v they_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a

of_o a_o sinner_n we_o do_v therefore_o believe_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v not_o only_o cover_v but_o entire_o efface_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o by_o the_o grace_n by_o which_o

indear_v and_o elevate_v the_o value_n of_o it_o for_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o simple_o impute_v but_o actual_o impart_v to_o the_o faithful_a by_o the_o

in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n it_o will_v not_o be_v the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o must_v then_o be_v justice_n even_o before_o god_n since_o it_o be_v god_n himself_o who_o
