actual_a justification_n as_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n terminate_v in_o the_o conscience_n be_v a_o actual_a discharge_v there_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o impute_v righteousness_n that_o it_o be_v necessary_a there_o be_v the_o same_o moment_n a_o actual_a conviction_n or_o arraignment_n by_o the_o law_n in_o the_o conscience_n which_o be_v call_v a_o sight_n of_o sin_n to_o make_v the_o soul_n see_v its_o need_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o legal_a conviction_n do_v prepare_v and_o fit_v the_o soul_n to_o receive_v christ_n i._o

the_o aforesaid_a argument_n against_o condition_n of_o justification_n be_v edge_v against_o such_o antecedent_n qualification_n also_o however_o i_o shall_v add_v a_o few_o more_o argument_n arg._n
