the_o other_o that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o faith_n only_o speak_v of_o a_o dead_a barren_a and_o counterfeit_a faith_n the_o second_o question_n to_o be_v scan_v be_v what_o justification_n

and_o not_o before_o god_n the_o four_o question_n to_o be_v scan_v be_v touch_v the_o person_n with_o who_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v a_o distinction_n be_v very_o apparent_a 103._o rom._n 103._o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v to_o deal_v with_o pharisaical_a hypocrite_n and_o jewish_a teacher_n who_o hold_v and_o teach_v that_o unless_o they_o observe_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n they_o can_v

as_o the_o apostle_n peter_n witness_v 19_o 2._o pet._n 2._o 18._o 19_o therefore_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v necessity_n of_o their_o several_a doctrine_n and_o no_o opposition_n in_o it_o the_o
