say_v to_o be_v the_o accuser_n where_o it_o be_v false_a it_o can_v be_v only_o the_o work_n of_o satan_n the_o malicious_a adversary_n who_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o job_n case_n will_v not_o

accusation_n that_o lie_v against_o we_o and_o which_o we_o must_v be_v justify_v against_o for_o all_o justification_n imply_v a_o actual_a or_o potential_a accusation_n he_o that_o be_v true_o accuse_v of_o final_a impenitency_n or_o unbelief_n or_o rebellion_n have_v no_o other_o defence_n to_o make_v but_o must_v needs_o be_v condemn_v he_o that_o be_v false_o accuse_v of_o such_o non-performance_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o grace_n must_v deny_v the_o accusation_n and_o plead_v his_o own_o personal_a righteousness_n as_o against_o that_o accusation_n and_o produce_v that_o

a_o right_a to_o everlasting_a glory_n and_o thus_o we_o must_v then_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n satisfaction_n only_o against_o the_o accusation_n of_o be_v sinner_n in_o general_a and_o of_o deserve_a god_n wrath_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o work_n but_o we_o must_v be_v justify_v by_o our_o faith_n repentance_n and_o sincere_a obedience_n itself_o against_o the_o accusation_n of_o be_v impenitent_a unbeliever_n and_o rebel_n against_o christ_n and_o have_v not_o perform_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o so_o have_v no_o part_n in_o christ_n and_o his_o benefit_n so_o that_o in_o sum_n you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o day_n will_v be_v to_o inquire_v whether_o be_v all_o know_a sinner_n we_o have_v accept_v of_o christ_n upon_o his_o

have_v the_o rather_o also_o say_v all_o this_o to_o show_v you_o in_o what_o sense_n these_o word_n be_v take_v in_o the_o text_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o what_o
