world_n by_o show_v his_o willingness_n to_o pass_v by_o our_o fault_n he_o will_v move_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o repent_v of_o they_o and_o become_v more_o dutiful_a this_o must_v be_v

by_o the_o wash_n of_o regeneration_n and_o the_o renew_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o grace_n we_o shall_v be_v make_v heir_n of_o eternal_a life_n where_o it_o be_v visible_a to_o they_o that_o will_v not_o shut_v their_o eye_n that_o his_o mercy_n can_v save_v we_o unless_o we_o become_v new_a creature_n and_o that_o this_o must_v go_v before_o the_o justification_n which_o we_o expect_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o indeed_o reason_n tell_v we_o that_o christ_n must_v need_v have_v more_o regard_n to_o his_o father_n right_n than_o to_o

demand_v to_o what_o purpose_n have_v you_o make_v this_o long_a discourse_n the_o answer_n be_v ready_a and_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v say_v viz._n that_o since_o justify_v faith_n be_v to_o have_v respect_n to_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o death_n just_o according_a to_o the_o intention_n of_o god_n in_o send_v of_o he_o it_o can_v be_v so_o little_a as_o the_o cast_v ourselves_o upon_o he_o for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o argument_n you_o will_v grant_v i_o for_o we_o must_v look_v upon_o a_o object_n according_a as_o it_o be_v propose_v faith_n can_v apprehend_v thing_n otherways_o than_o god_n have_v reveal_v they_o it_o can_v receive_v the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o any_o other_o manner_n than_o as_o the_o father_n give_v he_o the_o consequent_a then_o god_n himself_o demand_v your_o assent_n unto_o for_o you_o see_v that_o he_o have_v another_o end_n and_o a_o far_o great_a also_o in_o give_v his_o son_n for_o we_o than_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o offence_n he_o give_v he_o that_o he_o may_v cleanse_v and_o purge_v our_o soul_n from_o all_o filthiness_n that_o he_o may_v make_v we_o holy_a and_o unblameable_a in_o his_o sight_n why_o do_v you_o not_o then_o thus_o receive_v he_o or_o how_o come_v it_o about_o that_o you_o will_v not_o only_o put_v this_o end_n behind_o the_o other_o but_o also_o speak_v as_o if_o justify_v faith_n have_v nothing_o else_o to_o do_v but_o to_o lay_v hold_n on_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n this_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o make_v to_o comprehend_v the_o whole_a notion_n of_o it_o for_o we_o hear_v of_o nothing_o beside_o in_o its_o definition_n this_o be_v either_o all_o the_o business_n of_o faith_n or_o else_o you_o do_v very_o ill_o not_o to_o express_v the_o rest_n i_o beseech_v you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n that_o die_v for_o we_o reform_v this_o grand_a error_n let_v your_o faith_n be_v as_o large_a as_o the_o gospel_n itself_o and_o let_v this_o be_v your_o principal_a care_n that_o it_o may_v purify_v your_o heart_n when_o you_o expect_v to_o be_v justify_v through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n 9.14_o heb_fw-mi 9.14_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v shed_v to_o purge_v your_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n to_o serve_v the_o live_n god_n and_o that_o i_o may_v resume_v the_o beginning_n of_o my_o discourse_n and_o so_o make_v way_n for_o a_o speedy_a conclusion_n let_v i_o ask_v you_o another_o question_n or_o two_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o pertinent_a to_o my_o present_a design_n if_o
