they_o who_o define_v justify_v faith_n without_o include_v the_o profession_n of_o christianity_n in_o it_o do_v mistake_v the_o very_a ground_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n no_o man_n can_v be_v

good_a christian_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o inward_a belief_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o the_o outward_a profession_n of_o the_o mouth_n that_o render_v a_o christian_a liable_a to_o christ_n cross_n for_o can_v a_o man_n be_v save_v deny_v christ_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o he_o shall_v suffer_v for_o christ_n see_v therefore_o that_o christ_n manifest_o require_v a_o
