I can- not,et believe that our Jo flification at that par bath one con, dion, and our Juftification in Law (or in this Life , as conti- sued) another. He that dyetb jaflifed, was fo jutlified in the hour of dying, on the fame conditions as he muff be at i udge- menr. For T. There are no conditions to be performed after death. 2.

Add to all this what I grant to you, [that our ?unification when firfl begun here, is by faith C[uppofng Repen- tance) before and s ithostt the pra5iceofobedience,] and then fee how near we are.
