be_v righteous_a before_o god_n three_o thing_n be_v necessary_a one_o be_v that_o be_v absolve_v from_o sin_n &_o redeem_v from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n he_o be_v a_o free_a man_n a_o other_o be_v that_o he_o have_v righteousness_n whereby_o he_o may_v in_o deed_n be_v and_o be_v think_v righteous_a the_o third_o that_o be_v make_v righteous_a he_o be_v adopt_v for_o a_o son_n and_o be_v

therefore_o the_o lord_n say_v repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n must_v be_v preach_v in_o my_o name_n among_o all_o nation_n what_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o very_a absolution_n

the_o more_o distinctlie_o and_o cleerelie_o to_o understand_v these_o benefit_n which_o we_o obtain_v by_o christ._n first_o therefore_o we_o attain_v remission_n of_o sin_n as_o paul_n say_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ._n for_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n be_v y_o e_o price_n whereby_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v satisfy_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o those_o which_o through_o faith_n do_v convert_v for_o so_o say_v paul_n who_o meaning_n christ_n god_n have_v set_v to_o be_v a_o reconciliation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n 23._o so_o that_o y_fw-fr e_o merit_n of_o christ_n his_o blood_n be_v the_o cleanse_n of_o sin_n which_o blood_n be_v therefore_o a_o sufficient_a ransom_n because_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n therefore_o in_o the_o act_v it_o be_v say_v 28._o that_o god_n have_v purchase_v the_o church_n with_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o that_o he_o which_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v which_o be_v absolve_v from_o the_o guiltiness_n of_o sin_n be_v also_o redeem_v from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o partaker_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o god_n his_o child_n 13_o these_o sentence_n

sin_n if_o the_o son_n therefore_o shall_v make_v you_o free_a you_o be_v free_a in_o deed_n so_o than_o whosoever_o do_v ascribe_v even_o the_o least_o merit_n of_o cleanse_v sin_n to_o any_o other_o
