be_v evil_a and_o the_o false_a reason_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o conscience_n the_o man_n can_v see_v man_n be_v give_v over_o to_o believe_v the_o lie_n of_o their_o own_o spirit_n and_o can_v say_v

without_o control_v it_o will_v sure_o gratify_v the_o affection_n it_o have_v to_o lust_n but_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n come_v in_o and_o overaws_a the_o conscience_n and_o do_v awaken_v

from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n 8.2_o rom._n 8.2_o what_o be_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o sin_n to_o condemnation_n defile_v and_o destroy_v and_o

of_o sin_n to_o defile_v and_o rule_v and_o also_o to_o condemn_v and_o to_o destroy_v and_o thus_o from_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o christ_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o

do_v conceive_v much_o rather_o the_o meaning_n to_o be_v as_o i_o sin_v every_o day_n and_o thereby_o do_v daily_o contract_v a_o new_a guilt_n so_o grant_v that_o i_o may_v have_v the_o

and_o my_o iniquity_n be_v blot_v out_o for_o though_o i_o conceive_v it_o a_o truth_n that_o justification_n as_o far_o as_o it_o respect_v a_o man_n state_n be_v do_v at_o once_o and_o be_v

with_o christ_n yet_o i_o conceive_v the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v a_o continue_a act_n that_o as_o a_o man_n do_v sin_n daily_o so_o he_o have_v a_o actual_a pardon_n daily_o by_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n unto_o he_o anew_o the_o sacrifice_n indeed_o be_v offer_v but_o once_o and_o never_o to_o be_v repeat_v but_o the_o imputation_n of_o it_o be_v continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o application_n of_o it_o be_v the_o act_n of_o every_o day_n and_o therefore_o some_o say_v that_o god_n do_v give_v we_o the_o same_o thing_n over_o and_o over_o again_o daily_o as_o we_o sin_v daily_o and_o stand_v in_o daily_a need_n of_o it_o as_o he_o do_v the_o sun_n it_o have_v as_o much_o light_n in_o it_o the_o first_o day_n it_o be_v

the_o son_n of_o righteousness_n so_o that_o though_o a_o man_n be_v for_o his_o state_n once_o for_o all_o put_v into_o a_o state_n of_o justification_n yet_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o act_n that_o be_v continue_v daily_o and_o shall_v never_o be_v perfect_v till_o sin_n shall_v be_v do_v away_o and_o till_o the_o soul_n shall_v cease_v to_o say_v lord_n forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n and_o then_o god_n shall_v cease_v forgive_a but_o while_o the_o saint_n do_v sin_n so_o long_o there_o be_v a_o daily_a remission_n upon_o a_o daily_a repentance_n and_o a_o renew_a application_n so_o if_o a_o man_n sin_n daily_a and_o will_v have_v the_o guilt_n of_o his_o sin_n take_v off_o his_o conscience_n it_o must_v be_v by_o a_o daily_a confession_n a_o daily_a repentance_n and_o

take_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n off_o the_o conscience_n these_o thing_n i_o speak_v partly_o to_o awaken_v the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o grace_n that_o they_o may_v

avoid_v when_o man_n say_v all_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v already_o and_o therefore_o though_o we_o may_v have_v sin_n in_o our_o conversation_n yet_o we_o have_v none_o in_o our_o conscience_n god_n
