the_o work_n of_o our_o salvation_n whereas_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o when_o the_o scripture_n will_v magnify_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o 6.10_o rom._n 5_o 6.10_o it_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o die_v

that_o they_o themselves_o make_v his_o suffering_n the_o cause_n of_o his_o merit_n and_o his_o merit_n the_o effect_n of_o those_o cause_n in_o common_a sense_n we_o know_v that_o as_o a_o cause_n

at_o the_o least_o as_o the_o effect_n itself_o if_o not_o more_o large_a in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o must_v not_o only_o give_v life_n and_o be_v to_o the_o thing_n for_o the_o present_a time_n

whatsoever_o work_v or_o bring_v forth_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v that_o work_v or_o bring_v forth_o that_o thing_n that_o bring_v forth_o be_v in_o the_o same_o kind_n much_o more_o such_o a_o thing_n than_o that_o which_o be_v bring_v forth_o shall_v christ_n then_o by_o his_o death_n merit_n for_o himself_o and_o shall_v he_o not_o in_o his_o death_n die_v for_o

he_o may_v in_o the_o end_n by_o a_o little_a taint_n and_o discredit_v the_o whole_a and_o whosoever_o they_o be_v that_o see_v satan_n subtlety_n indeed_o do_v not_o only_o perceive_v this_o to_o

they_o do_v as_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o forefather_n of_o their_o faith_n believe_v to_o be_v true_a because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v speak_v it_o that_o they_o without_o we_o can_v not_o be_v
