answer_v their_o principal_a allegation_n it_o will_v not_o be_v hard_a to_o judge_v of_o all_o other_o also_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o such_o scripture_n as_o seem_v to_o ascribe_v worthiness_n unto_o man_n for_o out_o of_o they_o do_v bellarmine_n thus_o gather_v dignum_fw-la esse_fw-la praemio_fw-la 3.5_o de_fw-fr justific_n lib._n 5._o ca._n 2_o 3_o what_o worthiness_n in_o man_n wisd_v 3.5_o &_o mereri_fw-la praemium_fw-la idem_fw-la sunt_fw-la to_o be_v worthy_a of_o a_o reward_n and_o to_o deserve_v a_o reward_n be_v all_o one_o and_o to_o prove_v this_o worthiness_n in_o man_n he_o allege_v four_o place_n the_o first_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o wisdom_n god_n try_v they_o and_o find_v they_o worthy_a of_o himself_o the_o book_n from_o whence_o this_o testimony_n be_v take_v be_v know_v not_o to_o be_v canonical_a scripture_n and_o therefore_o of_o no_o such_o credit_n in_o god_n church_n as_o that_o upon_o place_n out_o of_o it_o we_o may_v ground_v any_o article_n of_o religion_n and_o this_o answer_n may_v serve_v very_o well_o to_o this_o objection_n but_o yet_o the_o word_n themselves_o do_v not_o of_o necessity_n prove_v merit_n or_o worthiness_n of_o the_o work_n that_o we_o do_v and_o that_o first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o person_n that_o tri_v they_o also_o in_o regard_n of_o they_o that_o be_v try_v he_o that_o tri_v his_o servant_n be_v i_o know_v wise_a enough_o to_o examine_v and_o spy_v fault_n just_a also_o to_o punish_v they_o but_o he_o be_v also_o content_a to_o cover_v with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o son_n our_o fault_n and_o to_o hide_v our_o iniquity_n not_o behold_v we_o as_o in_o ourselves_o we_o be_v sinner_n 9.24_o who_o be_v find_v righteous_a or_o worthy_a dan._n 9.24_o but_o as_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n righteous_a then_o also_o who_o be_v they_o that_o be_v try_v be_v find_v righteous_a even_o they_o who_o debt_n christ_n have_v pay_v for_o who_o sin_n he_o have_v satisfy_v and_o seal_v up_o as_o daniel_n say_v that_o they_o may_v be_v no_o more_o remember_v who_o iniquity_n he_o have_v reconcile_v to_o bring_v in_o everlasting_a righteousness_n of_o such_o we_o see_v who_o bring_v with_o they_o nothing_o whereby_o they_o shall_v be_v find_v worthy_a but_o have_v all_o from_o christ_n it_o be_v say_v he_o find_v they_o worthy_a other_o two_o place_n he_o bring_v for_o which_o we_o be_v much_o behold_v to_o he_o because_o by_o they_o we_o may_v learn_v how_o to_o answer_v such_o testimony_n as_o seem_v to_o ascribe_v worthiness_n unto_o man_n one_o be_v out_o of_o the_o answer_n that_o christ_n make_v unto_o the_o sadducee_n a_o sect_n which_o think_v there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n who_o think_v to_o entrap_v he_o in_o a_o subtle_a question_n the_o question_n be_v of_o one_o woman_n that_o marry_v seven_o husband_n who_o all_o die_a they_o will_v know_v who_o wife_n she_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o resurrection_n to_o who_o christ_n answer_v thus_o they_o who_o shall_v be_v count_v worthy_a to_o enjoy_v that_o world_n 20.35_o luk._n 20.35_o and_o the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a neither_o marry_v wife_n nor_o be_v marry_v the_o other_o be_v much_o like_o this_o 1.5_o 2._o thes_n 1.5_o that_o you_o may_v be_v count_v worthy_a of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n for_o which_o you_o also_o suffer_v say_v s._n paul_n to_o the_o thessalonian_o now_o who_o know_v not_o that_o we_o may_v be_v count_v worthy_a of_o that_o which_o in_o due_a consideration_n we_o can_v be_v worthy_a of_o so_o that_o they_o be_v account_v worthy_a prove_v not_o that_o they_o be_v worthy_a indeed_o as_o shall_v god_n willing_a by_o and_o by_o plain_o appear_v the_o four_o place_n than_o must_v serve_v the_o turn_n or_o else_o nothing_o be_v

have_v say_v they_o shall_v triumph_v with_o i_o or_o reign_v in_o glory_n and_o life_n everlasting_a for_o they_o be_v worthy_a but_o what_o be_v they_o worthy_a in_o respect_n of_o their_o work_n or_o for_o the_o merit_n thereof_o for_o if_o not_o it_o help_v not_o our_o adversary_n and_o that_o neither_o they_o nor_o any_o other_o christ_n no_o man_n worthy_a of_o eternal_a life_n but_o christ_n that_o be_v conceive_v as_o we_o all_o be_v of_o unclean_a seed_n can_v be_v worthy_a in_o respect_n of_o work_n i_o prove_v thus_o no_o man_n be_v worthy_a of_o eternal_a life_n in_o

and_o no_o doubt_n the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n out_o of_o these_o and_o such_o like_a word_n have_v learned_a that_o which_o he_o teach_v we_o of_o the_o justification_n which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n

for_o confirmation_n whereof_o i_o mind_n rather_o to_o point_v unto_o argument_n law_n we_o can_v perfect_o fulfil_v the_o law_n than_o any_o way_n to_o dilate_v they_o first_o therefore_o it_o be_v
