shall_v live_v by_o faith_n the_o great_a scope_n of_o the_o eleven_o first_o chapter_n be_v to_o prove_v justification_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n against_o those_o that_o do_v hold_v justification_n by_o work_n of_o the_o law_n he_o lay_v down_o his_o position_n in_o this_o cause_n and_o bring_v in_o this_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n and_o he_o do_v oppose_v justification_n by_o faith_n to_o justification_n by_o the_o law_n gal._n 3.11_o but_o that_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n it_o be_v evident_a for_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n 2._o as_o it_o relate_v to_o a_o christian_n sanctification_n gal._n 2.20_o i_o be_o crucify_v with_o christ_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o and_o the_o life_n which_o i_o now_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n i_o live_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o though_o the_o main_a argument_n here_o be_v justification_n yet_o this_o live_n by_o faith_n be_v in_o respect_n of_o sanctification_n chief_o at_o least_o which_o i_o think_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o place_n yield_v for_o paul_n have_v vers_fw-la 19_o lay_v down_o this_o as_o a_o argument_n why_o a_o believer_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n because_o he_o be_v dead_a to_o it_o that_o he_o may_v give_v a_o reason_n of_o this_o likewise_o why_o a_o believer_n be_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n or_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o he_o glide_v off_o from_o the_o main_a argument_n of_o justification_n into_o this_o of_o sanctification_n as_o by_o the_o by_o that_o i_o may_v live_v to_o god_n what_o be_v that_o why_o perform_v obedience_n now_o to_o god_n or_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n to_o god_n as_o rom._n 7._o v._n 4_o 5_o 6._o wherefore_o my_o brethren_n you_o also_o be_v become_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n by_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v marry_v to_o another_o even_o to_o he_o who_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a that_o we_o shall_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o god_n which_o argument_n be_v now_o digress_v into_o he_o prosecute_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n wherein_o as_o be_v clear_a he_o go_v on_o to_o speak_v of_o sanctification_n for_o he_o speak_v of_o christ_n live_v in_o he_o which_o be_v not_o our_o justification_n that_o be_v by_o christ_n without_o we_o and_o so_o his_o live_n by_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o respect_n of_o that_o viz._n sanctification_n which_o in_o the_o former_a verse_n and_o beginning_n of_o this_o he_o be_v speak_v of_o 3_o as_o it_o relate_v to_o a_o christian_n expectation_n or_o wait_v so_o habak_v 2.4_o for_o the_o vision_n be_v yet_o for_o a_o appoint_a time_n but_o at_o the_o end_n

upright_o in_o he_o but_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n speak_v of_o the_o vision_n delay_v he_o say_v the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n i.e._n expect_v the_o come_n thereof_o and_o wait_v for_o it_o in_o a_o way_n of_o believe_a 4_o as_o it_o relate_v to_o a_o christian_n perseverance_n so_o heb._n 10.38_o now_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n but_o if_o any_o man_n draw_v back_o my_o soul_n shall_v have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o he_o which_o word_n if_o you_o compare_v they_o with_o the_o forego_n verse_n seem_v to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o sense_n with_o they_o in_o habakkuk_n to_o be_v speak_v of_o a_o life_n of_o expectation_n vers_fw-la 37._o for_o yet_o a_o little_a while_n and_o he_o that_o shall_v come_v will_v come_v and_o will_v not_o tarry_v now_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n but_o compare_v with_o the_o follow_a word_n in_o this_o and_o the_o next_o verse_n they_o concern_v perseverance_n because_o in_o this_o verse_n draw_v back_o be_v set_v in_o opposition_n to_o live_v by_o faith_n and_o again_o vers_fw-la 39_o but_o we_o be_v not_o of_o they_o who_o draw_v back_o unto_o perdition_n but_o of_o they_o that_o believe_v to_o the_o save_n of_o the_o soul_n believe_v be_v set_v in_o opposition_n to_o draw_v back_o in_o these_o place_n we_o have_v a_o fourfold_a life_n 1_o of_o justification_n 2_o of_o sanctification_n 3_o expectation_n 4_o perseverance_n in_o every_o of_o which_o we_o be_v to_o live_v by_o faith_n or_o we_o be_v to_o live_v by_o faith_n for_o these_o four_o thing_n in_o a_o especial_a manner_n viz._n justification_n sanctification_n expectation_n and_o perseverance_n quest_n 2._o how_o do_v faith_n act_n or_o what_o be_v it_o that_o faith_n do_v in_o those_o person_n which_o live_v by_o

that_o way_n or_o manner_n of_o work_v which_o experience_n teach_v to_o be_v dangerous_a and_o to_o administer_v matter_n of_o stumble_v to_o poor_a soul_n for_o as_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n be_v manifold_a so_o the_o working_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o faithful_a through_o which_o they_o be_v enable_v to_o live_v by_o faith_n be_v

such_o a_o principle_n another_o from_o such_o a_o principle_n yea_o the_o same_o person_n look_v upon_o himself_o at_o sundry_a time_n shall_v find_v that_o one_o while_o his_o faith_n spring_v from_o one_o principle_n or_o consideration_n another_o while_n from_o another_o as_o for_o example_n perhaps_o to_o day_n i_o believe_v my_o justification_n and_o go_v on_o believe_v it_o for_o a_o week_n or_o a_o month_n together_o from_o such_o a_o consideration_n as_o this_o viz._n god_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o i_o in_o his_o son_n and_o this_o be_v unchangeable_a as_o not_o make_v upon_o condition_n of_o my_o obedience_n so_o no●_n break_v by_o my_o disobedience_n and_o hence_o i_o believe_v i_o be_o justify_v another_o while_n perhaps_o this_o principle_n be_v not_o so_o lively_a and_o vigorous_a as_o to_o keep_v up_o my_o faith_n but_o then_o another_o do_v it_o as_o this_o god_n justify_v the_o ungodly_a now_o say_v the_o soul_n though_o i_o can_v say_v i_o be_o a_o saint_n yet_o this_o i_o can_v say_v i_o be_o a_o ungodly_a one_o well_o god_n justify_v the_o ungodly_a this_o be_v a_o precious_a truth_n i_o own_v it_o i_o cleave_v to_o it_o i_o be_o a_o

this_o i_o do_v i_o cleave_v to_o his_o righteousness_n which_o be_v persect_v and_o able_a full_o to_o justify_v my_o poor_a soul_n and_o i_o do_v in_o some_o measure_n believe_v that_o i_o have_v a_o share_n in_o this_o righteousness_n it_o be_v i_o and_o that_o i_o be_o thereby_o justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n these_o principle_n with_o many_o other_o though_o diverse_a in_o themselves_o yet_o do_v they_o sweet_o agree_v in_o the_o main_a all_o lead_v the_o soul_n to_o something_o without_o for_o justification_n and_o true_o this_o premisal_n be_v very_o necessary_a and_o

sometime_o ready_a to_o stagger_v when_o they_o look_v upon_o themselves_o and_o consider_v the_o last_o month_n or_o the_o last_o year_n i_o have_v much_o strength_n and_o ability_n to_o believe_v

14.19_o because_o there_o be_v life_n in_o christ_n shall_v i_o live_v then_o i_o will_v go_v to_o he_o for_o life_n quest_n 3._o why_o be_v a_o christian_n to_o live_v by_o faith_n for_o

the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o have_v such_o a_o influence_n into_o sanctification_n that_o be_v of_o grace_n it_o be_v of_o grace_n that_o christ_n shed_v his_o blood_n of_o more_o

3_o because_o we_o have_v promise_n of_o sanctification_n what_o i_o have_v a_o promise_n for_o i_o be_o to_o live_v by_o faith_n for_o because_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o faith_n but_o
