that_o god_n require_v nothing_o of_o we_o to_o be_v a_o merit_a legal_a righteousness_n or_o atonement_n for_o sin_n yet_o we_o say_v that_o god_n in_o a_o way_n of_o govern_v grace_n require_v

for_o they_o think_v no_o duty_n as_o a_o duty_n be_v ordain_v a_o mean_n to_o any_o benefit_n they_o own_v no_o law_n but_o the_o law_n of_o work_n which_o admit_v nothing_o short_a of_o perfect_a sinless_a obedience_n and_o because_o we_o can_v perform_v that_o as_o the_o merit_a condition_n of_o life_n in_o the_o adjustment_n of_o justice_n therefore_o man_n must_v do_v nothing_o as_o a_o condition_n of_o enjoy_v any_o benefit_n in_o christ_n right_a by_o the_o adjustment_n of_o grace_n in_o a_o way_n of_o authority_n since_o we_o can_v be_v whole_o sinless_a it_o be_v all_o as_o one_o

condition_n of_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n in_o order_n to_o pardon_n but_o all_o be_v in_o vain_a because_o we_o say_v that_o repentance_n be_v necessary_a to_o our_o actual_a
