pay_v he_o a_o better_a obedience_n when_o he_o forgive_v we_o what_o be_v past_a he_o intend_v we_o shall_v sin_v no_o more_o when_o he_o offer_v we_o his_o grace_n he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o

also_o purify_v we_o for_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o that_o have_v this_o hope_n purify_v himself_o even_o as_o god_n be_v pure_a and_o when_o we_o be_v so_o than_o we_o be_v justify_v indeed_o

the_o necessity_n the_o indispensable_a necessity_n of_o a_o good_a life_n now_o that_o justify_v and_o save_v faith_n must_v be_v define_v by_o something_o more_o than_o a_o act_n of_o

1.5_o say_v add_v to_o your_o faith_n virtue_n to_o virtue_n knowledge_n but_o in_o this_o also_o because_o a_o error_n in_o life_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v against_o holiness_n be_v against_o faith_n and_o therefore_o s._n paul_n reckon_v the_o lawless_a and_o the_o disobedient_a murder_n of_o parent_n man-stealing_a and_o such_o thing_n to_o be_v against_o sound_a doctrine_n for_o the_o
