away_o our_o sin_n and_o heal_v all_o our_o disease_n through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o only_a salvation_n open_v our_o eye_n we_o beseech_v thou_o that_o we_o may_v at_o this_o time_n behold_v and_o so_o frame_v our_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v glad_o embrace_v thy_o most_o holy_a truth_n as_o thou_o have_v leave_v it_o unto_o we_o by_o thy_o holy_a servant_n the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n grant_v this_o knowledge_n and_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n with_o daily_a increase_n not_o only_o to_o we_o o_o lord_n who_o through_o thy_o grace_n already_o make_v profession_n thereof_o but_o also_o unto_o all_o those_o that_o yet_o set_v themselves_o against_o the_o same_o that_o they_o acknowledge_v the_o truth_n of_o thy_o word_n may_v cleave_v to_o it_o forsake_v all_o superstitious_a vanity_n and_o see_v the_o all_o sufficient_a righteousness_n &_o sacrifice_n of_o thy_o only_a son_n may_v lay_v hold_n of_o it_o deny_v themselves_o &_o renounce_v their_o own_o merit_n &_o false_o name_v righteousness_n grant_v we_o these_o thing_n o_o heavenly_a father_n for_o thy_o only_a son_n sake_n jesus_n christ_n our_o alone_a saviour_n &_o redeemer_n in_o who_o name_n we_o ask_v the_o pray_v as_o he_o have_v teach_v we_o our_o father_n etc._n etc._n walker_n we_o have_v in_o the_o forenoon_n entreat_v of_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n and_o of_o their_o sufficiency_n now_o we_o have_v to_o entreat_v of_o faith_n god_n grant_v we_o grace_v that_o we_o may_v see_v the_o truth_n and_o have_v faith_n may_v rest_v in_o it_o to_o our_o endless_a comfort_n let_v we_o before_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o matter_n declare_v somewhat_o concern_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n we_o hold_v therefore_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o and_o that_o free_o no_o other_o work_v concur_v for_o that_o purpose_n and_o yet_o we_o set_v not_o down_o a_o bare_a and_o naked_a faith_n as_o our_o adversary_n charge_n us._n for_o we_o confess_v that_o faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n be_v couple_v and_o link_v together_o and_o that_o love_n be_v the_o great_a but_o we_o affirm_v that_o faith_n only_o be_v that_o instrument_n whereby_o we_o lie_v hold_v upon_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o only_a foundation_n of_o our_o salvation_n by_o that_o title_n therefore_o we_o exclude_v all_o man_n work_n and_o virtue_n as_o meritorious_a and_o only_o look_v to_o the_o merit_n of_o christ._n camp_n i_o will_v declare_v to_o you_o my_o meaning_n also_o we_o be_v agree_v that_o god_n do_v justify_v and_o for_o christ_n sake_n only_o through_o his_o grace_n and_o through_o his_o mercy_n alone_o through_o his_o sacrament_n and_o through_o baptism_n thus_o far_o we_o agree_v but_o herein_o we_o disagree_v for_o we_o say_v that_o when_o god_n do_v justify_v he_o do_v give_v we_o of_o his_o grace_n three_o distinct_a gift_n faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n and_o these_o be_v as_o three_o cause_n of_o justification_n and_o charity_n a_o principal_a cause_n which_o frame_v the_o first_o act_n in_o us._n we_o say_v therefore_o that_o as_o grace_n be_v put_v in_o we_o in_o justification_n so_o also_o our_o righteousness_n be_v enlarge_v through_o good_a work_n and_o be_v inherent_a in_o us._n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o god_n do_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o charke_n campion_n you_o be_v not_o to_o use_v your_o old_a sleight_n in_o run_v from_o the_o matter_n and_o load_v one_o thing_n upon_o a_o other_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n

well_o let_v your_o declaration_n stand_v for_o defence_n although_o we_o agree_v not_o for_o there_o be_v sundry_a cause_n of_o justification_n final_a and_o middle_a but_o faith_n be_v the_o first_o
