the_o remit_v of_o sin_n unto_o we_o and_o not_o in_o the_o admit_v of_o good_a work_n for_o we_o if_o the_o apostle_n do_v join_v with_o the_o prophet_n in_o this_o that_o god_n impute_v

it_o be_v answer_v that_o all_o kind_n of_o work_v be_v not_o sever_v from_o this_o justification_n and_o righteousness_n the_o question_n be_v again_o whether_o those_o work_n that_o stand_v with_o justification_n and_o righteousness_n go_v before_o it_o or_o spring_n of_o it_o and_o so_o come_v after_o it_o here_o their_o answer_n be_v we_o be_v justify_v without_o work_v go_v before_o but_o
