law_n be_v a_o law_n unto_o themselves_o which_o show_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n their_o conscience_n also_o bear_v witness_n and_o among_o one_o another_o their_o

the_o law_n of_o faith_n as_o st._n paul_n find_v some_o ready_a to_o infer_v rom._n iii_o 31._o do_v we_o then_o make_v void_a the_o law_n through_o faith_n god_n forbid_v yea_o we_o establish_v the_o law_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o be_v there_o no_o law_n of_o work_n there_o can_v be_v no_o law_n of_o faith_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o need_n of_o faith_n which_o shall_v

there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n all_o be_v righteous_a equal_o with_o or_o without_o faith_n the_o rule_n therefore_o of_o right_o be_v the_o same_o that_o ever_o it_o be_v the_o
