(i50) Obedience. 2. Our Rareof Juftification is continued on con- dition of the continuanceof Faith and Repentance , with fin. cere Obedience. ;. Our particular following fins have a par- ticular pardon, on.Condition, of the Continuance of the habits and renewing of the a&a of that faith and repentance , for knownobferved"fins. 4.

Prove now if you can that perfeverance is the Condition of our firft pardon. Prove if you can that final perfeverance is the Condition of our continuance in a juftified {fate till now.
