that_o its_o one_o thing_n to_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o sentence_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o express_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o benefit_n give_v we_o by_o the_o promise_n and_o judge_v to_o

give_v christ_n to_o die_v for_o we_o and_o therefore_o as_o to_o our_o constitutive_a justification_n at_o our_o conversion_n we_o must_v not_o say_v or_o think_v that_o god_n do_v justify_v we_o for_o or_o because_o of_o any_o work_n of_o our_o obedience_n legal_a or_o evangelical_n but_o when_o god_n have_v so_o justify_v we_o when_o he_o come_v to_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o his_o sentence_n in_o judgement_n he_o may_v and_o will_v fetch_v that_o reason_n partly_o from_o our_o obedience_n or_o our_o performance_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n for_o as_o in_o this_o

the_o condition_n of_o the_o promise_n which_o give_v that_o pardon_n and_o continue_v it_o to_o we_o so_o at_o judgement_n we_o shall_v according_o be_v justify_v and_o as_o our_o evangelical_n personal_a righteousness_n common_o call_v inherent_a be_v at_o first_o only_o in_o our_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o disposition_n to_o obey_v but_o afterward_o in_o our_o actual_a sincere_a
