to_o think_v it_o it_o be_v then_o a_o thing_n very_o manifest_a that_o he_o speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o of_o the_o work_v also_o of_o the_o moral_a

be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o evident_a because_o s._n paul_n yet_o further_o in_o that_o his_o dispute_n of_o justification_n exclude_v not_o only_o the_o jew_n but_o the_o gentile_n also_o from_o all_o hope_n of_o justification_n by_o the_o law_n teach_v that_o they_o both_o be_v to_o expect_v justification_n in_o god_n sight_n not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n 2.15.16_o but_o by_o

aswell_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v bind_v to_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n when_o therefore_o s._n paul_n teach_v that_o aswell_o the_o gentile_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o expect_v justification_n not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n it_o be_v apparent_a that_o he_o must_v needs_o mean_a to_o exclude_v herein_o aswell_o the_o work_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n whereto_o the_o gentile_n be_v bind_v as_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n whereto_o the_o jew_n only_o be_v bind_v and_o not_o the_o

which_o be_v before_o mention_v namely_o that_o s._n paul_n when_o he_o exclude_v work_n from_o be_v any_o cause_n of_o justification_n in_o god_n sight_n mean_v it_o of_o work_n do_v before_o faith_n

that_o i_o also_o here_o once_o again_o make_v answer_n unto_o it_o first_o therefore_o it_o may_v suffice_v to_o call_v to_o your_o remembrance_n that_o which_o have_v be_v speak_v concern_v those_o
