the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n there_o be_v faith_n for_o what_o can_v any_o sacrilegious_a enthusiast_n say_v more_o who_o rob_v god_n of_o man_n heart_n in_o regular_a and_o sound_a prayer_n to_o place_v all_o religion_n in_o the_o ear_n sure_o there_o be_v many_o hearer_n of_o st._n paul_n sermon_n for_o it_o be_v preach_v on_o the_o sabbath_n and_o in_o a_o place_n where_o prayer_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v make_v act._n 16._o 13._o who_o hear_v more_o than_o the_o law_n for_o they_o also_o hear_v the_o gospel_n yet_o only_o one_o lydia_n for_o aught_o we_o know_v be_v judge_v faithful_a unto_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o text_n give_v this_o reason_n of_o her_o faith_n who_o heart_n the_o lord_n open_v that_o she_o attend_v unto_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o paul_n therefore_o the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n have_v not_o faith_n but_o the_o doer_n of_o it_o at_o least_o in_o vote_n and_o desire_n i._n e._n those_o who_o labour_n to_o do_v it_o yet_o they_o

to_o do_v all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v and_o as_o they_o be_v command_v they_o will_v leave_v they_o unprofitable_a and_o much_o more_o must_v their_o work_n of_o unrighteousness_n make_v they_o unacceptable_a so_o that_o you_o have_v only_o suppose_v a_o false_a faith_n in_o the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n not_o disprove_v justification_n by_o faith_n in_o the_o doer_n of_o it_o for_o he_o that_o say_v not_o the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n be_v just_a before_o god_n but_o the_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v justify_v do_v not_o thereby_o suppose_v much_o less_o aver_v any_o man_n to_o be_v so_o complete_a doer_n of_o the_o law_n as_o to_o rely_v upon_o their_o good_a deed_n for_o their_o justification_n 12._o you_o may_v happy_o better_a have_v appeal_v to_o st._n james_n than_o to_o st._n paul_n for_o justification_n by_o work_n and_o yet_o neither_o will_v he_o have_v befriend_v this_o your_o appeal_n much_o less_o have_v justify_v that_o your_o position_n for_o st._n james_n do_v not_o contradict_v the_o doctrine_n of_o st._n paul_n but_o do_v only_o correct_v those_o who_o have_v misunderstand_v or_o at_o least_o misapply_v it_o bid_v they_o add_v to_o their_o faith_n virtue_n as_o st._n peter_n have_v do_v before_o 2_o pet._n 3._o 5._o or_o not_o expect_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o it_o wherefore_o those_o two_o apostle_n may_v very_o well_o be_v say_v to_o have_v deliver_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o doctrine_n concern_v justification_n if_o we_o take_v their_o word_n not_o as_o we_o please_v but_o as_o they_o intend_v they_o for_o st._n paul_n write_v against_o proud_a justiciaries_n among_o the_o jew_n who_o seek_v for_o righteousness_n from_o their_o own_o work_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o reject_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n strong_o deny_v justification_n by_o work_n meaning_n work_v proper_o so_o call_v that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o perfect_a and_o perpetual_a observation_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n because_o all_o man_n whatsoever_o christ_n only_a except_v have_v many_o way_n transgress_v the_o law_n but_o st._n james_n write_v against_o licentious_a and_o profane_a hypocrite_n among_o the_o christian_n who_o pretend_v to_o faith_n in_o christ_n live_v not_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n but_o altogether_o neglect_v the_o study_n and_o practice_n of_o good_a work_n affirm_v justification_n by_o work_n mean_v by_o work_n the_o very_a obedience_n of_o faith_n or_o a_o work_n by_o love_n and_o obedience_n the_o one_o write_v against_o the_o proud_a opposer_n the_o other_o against_o the_o fond_a pretender_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n therefore_o the_o one_o tell_v the_o proud_a jew_n that_o their_o work_n be_v not_o answerable_a to_o the_o law_n in_o which_o they_o trust_v that_o he_o may_v teach_v they_o the_o necessity_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n the_o other_o tell_v the_o

according_o as_o often_o as_o st._n paul_n affirm_v in_o sense_n at_o least_o if_o not_o in_o word_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v only_o by_o faith_n so_o often_o he_o understand_v a_o faith_n work_v

as_o appear_v from_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o expression_n ver_fw-la 14._o if_o a_o man_n say_v he_o have_v faith_n for_o the_o apostle_n will_v not_o say_v it_o for_o he_o because_o he_o have_v
