right_a well_o that_o luther_n say_v the_o conscience_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o law_n or_o work_n 59_o and_o that_o calvin_n say_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o faithful_a when_o the_o

the_o law_n in_o the_o case_n of_o justification_n it_o have_v to_o do_v with_o it_o only_o as_o it_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n for_o as_o the_o law_n be_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n it_o neither_o justify_v nor_o condemn_v and_o so_o if_o you_o understand_v it_o of_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n according_a to_o their_o meaning_n than_o it_o be_v most_o

no_o more_o conscience_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v their_o conscience_n will_v not_o have_v accuse_v they_o of_o be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n now_o the_o blond_n of_o christ_n have_v purge_v the_o
