receive_v it_o first_o god_n give_v it_o unto_o we_o when_o he_o give_v we_o christ_n himself_n for_o it_o be_v give_v with_o he_o and_o it_o be_v make_v we_o when_o god_n in_o mercy_n esteem_v

his_o righteousness_n 2._o cor._n 5.21_o but_o he_o be_v make_v our_o sin_n by_o imputation_n and_o therefore_o his_o justice_n be_v inherent_a in_o he_o be_v make_v we_o by_o imputation_n second_o

the_o thing_n that_o be_v give_v we_o of_o god_n where_o note_v by_o the_o way_n note_n that_o a_o sinner_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o faith_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o

work_v of_o nature_n and_o grace_n that_o even_o work_v of_o grace_n be_v exclude_v appear_v by_o these_o reason_n first_o a_o sinner_n must_v so_o be_v justify_v that_o all_o cause_n of_o boast_v
