that_o that_o act_n of_o phinees_n and_o the_o good_a work_n of_o holy_a man_n be_v impute_v of_o god_n unto_o righteousness_n an_o other_o way_n it_o signify_v that_o by_o which_o we_o ourselves_o be_v count_v in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o just_a and_o that_o paul_n attribute_v only_o unto_o faith_n as_o though_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v abraham_n beleve_v that_o he_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o

unto_o he_o according_a to_o his_o faith_n wherefore_o by_o it_o he_o receive_v that_o which_o be_v offer_v unto_o he_o of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 15._o chapter_n for_o god_n have_v say_v unto_o he_o i_o be_o thy_o protector_n and_o thy_o exceed_a great_a reward_n but_o that_o which_o be_v say_v of_o phinees_n and_o of_o the_o work_n of_o goodman_n pertain_v unto_o the_o duty_n which_o follow_v they_o that_o be_v justify_v but_o forasmuch_o as_o many_o promise_n be_v make_v unto_o work_n and_o god_n in_o this_o place_n call_v himself_o a_o reward_n and_o eternal_a life_n be_v oftentimes_o proper_o if_o eternal_a life_n be_v say_v to_o be_v render_v unto_o work_n why_o be_v not_o also_o say_v of_o righteousness_n good_a work_v may_v go_v before_o eternal_a life_n but_o not_o before_o justification_n eternal_a life_n be_v call_v a_o reward_n by_o a_o similitude_n and_o not_o proper_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n call_v a_o reward_n as_o though_o it_o be_v render_v unto_o work_n why_o may_v we_o not_o by_o work_n likewise_o obtain_v righteousness_n sey_v that_o it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o matter_n to_o glorifye_v as_o to_o justify_v but_o two_o thing_n be_v here_o to_o be_v consider_v first_o that_o good_a work_n may_v go_v before_o glorification_n but_o not_o before_o justification_n because_o after_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v we_o may_v do_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n but_o before_o we_o be_v justify_v we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v nothing_o that_o be_v true_o good_a and_o which_o can_v please_v god_n moreover_o we_o grant_v not_o that_o eternal_a life_n be_v have_v by_o work_n as_o though_o it_o be_v by_o they_o merit_v but_o when_o it_o be_v call_v a_o reward_n it_o be_v in_o this_o respect_n because_o it_o be_v render_v after_o the_o work_n do_v even_o as_o that_o which_o we_o deserve_v by_o any_o civil_a action_n be_v not_o wont_a to_o be_v render_v till_o the_o work_n be_v full_o do_v and_o in_o such_o sort_n eternal_a life_n may_v indeed_o have_v some_o similitude_n of_o a_o reward_n but_o yet_o proper_o and_o as_o touch_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o reward_n it_o be_v most_o far_o of_o and_o that_o for_o three_o cause_n first_o because_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v give_v and_o which_o be_v receive_v be_v not_o alike_o but_o that_o be_v require_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o merit_n second_o because_o the_o work_n which_o we_o offer_v be_v not_o our_o own_o for_o god_n geve_v they_o unto_o we_o and_o woork_v in_o we_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o perform_v wherefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o merit_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v attribute_v unto_o we_o but_o unto_o god_n as_o to_o the_o author_n of_o all_o good_a work_n last_o when_o a_o reward_n or_o merit_n be_v proper_o take_v it_o behove_v the_o that_o which_o be_v give_v of_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v of_o duty_n unto_o he_o unto_o who_o it_o be_v give_fw-ge but_o we_o although_o we_o shall_v not_o obtain_v felicity_n yet_o ought_v we_o to_o do_v all_o our_o thing_n unto_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n wherefore_o eternal_a life_n can_v not_o be_v call_v a_o reward_n but_o by_o a_o certain_a similitude_n but_o many_o say_v that_o these_o sentence_n of_o paul_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o a_o figure_n as_o though_o it_o be_v the_o figure_n synecdoche_n that_o faith_n be_v therefore_o say_v to_o
