as_o when_o a_o man_n do_v declare_v and_o show_v forth_o before_o man_n that_o he_o be_v a_o righteous_a person_n also_o before_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n in_o this_o

there_o be_v a_o justify_n before_o man_n which_o the_o pharisy_n in_o colour_a hypocrisy_n do_v seek_v for_o but_o christ_n tell_v they_o they_o be_v never_o the_o better_a because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o upright_o heart_n before_o god_n the_o word_n be_v also_o take_v in_o another_o sense_n which_o i_o omit_v if_o any_o man_n will_v now_o demand_v how_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o saint_n james_n do_v use_v it_o in_o this_o latter_a sense_n rather_o than_o in_o the_o former_a i_o answer_v that_o the_o very_a place_n itself_o and_o go_v no_o further_o do_v declare_v this_o thing_n for_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v thus_o some_o man_n will_v say_v show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_n be_v it_o not_o apparent_a that_o he_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o be_v before_o man_n or_o declare_v unto_o man_n and_o not_o of_o that_o which_o be_v before_o god_n in_o like_a manner_n when_o he_o say_v abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n when_o he_o offer_v his_o son_n isaac_n upon_o the_o altar_n do_v not_o the_o scripture_n show_v that_o before_o god_n abraham_n be_v justify_v long_o before_o by_o faith_n if_o it_o be_v object_v again_o that_o it_o may_v also_o be_v say_v how_o he_o be_v before_o that_o time_n justify_v before_o man_n or_o that_o he_o have_v show_v by_o his_o deed_n unto_o man_n that_o he_o do_v fear_n and_o love_n god_n and_o then_o what_o shall_v hinder_v but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v take_v for_o a_o more_o full_a and_o perfect_a justification_n or_o a_o increase_n thereof_o as_o well_o before_o god_n as_o before_o man_n i_o answer_v that_o before_o god_n a_o man_n be_v justify_v to_o speak_v proper_o there_o be_v no_o increase_n thereof_o for_o he_o be_v full_o and_o whole_o discharge_v and_o acquit_v or_o else_o it_o be_v no_o justification_n but_o because_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o grace_n of_o justification_n but_o in_o part_n and_o not_o in_o full_a measure_n therefore_o our_o justify_n before_o man_n be_v more_o and_o more_o declare_v by_o degree_n as_o good_a work_n do_v more_o and_o more_o abound_v in_o we_o and_o so_o abraham_n be_v by_o this_o one_o work_n more_o justify_v before_o man_n then_o by_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o deed_n and_o therefore_o it_o may_v well_o be_v set_v down_o in_o stead_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n we_o see_v here_o then_o that_o because_o by_o the_o scripture_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v take_v for_o a_o increase_n of_o justification_n in_o our_o father_n abraham_n that_o it_o must_v necessary_o be_v understand_v of_o that_o justification_n which_o be_v before_o man_n you_o see_v now_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o text_n and_o the_o drift_n and_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v lay_v open_a unto_o you_o but_o my_o chief_a purpose_n be_v yet_o behind_o and_o that_o

will_v you_o still_o accept_v it_o for_o a_o sufficient_a proof_n of_o a_o good_a and_o sound_a testimony_n of_o a_o true_a belief_n when_o any_o man_n can_v say_v i_o do_v hurt_v no_o man_n i_o

harm_n i_o will_v show_v you_o dear_o belove_v how_o these_o sort_n of_o people_n be_v declue_v by_o two_o foul_a error_n which_o this_o text_n do_v most_o strong_o overthrow_v the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o they_o look_v but_o unto_o man_n and_o restrain_v their_o duty_n unto_o they_o whereas_o they_o shall_v chief_o look_v unto_o that_o which_o they_o owe_v unto_o god_n and_o then_o to_o that_o which_o belong_v to_o their_o brother_n the_o second_o be_v that_o they_o suppose_v themselves_o bound_v no_o further_o but_o to_o abstain_v from_o hurt_v without_o regard_n of_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o love_n wherein_o one_o man_n be_v to_o profit_n and_o further_o another_o as_o concern_v the_o first_o of_o these_o both_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n and_o also_o of_o rahab_n do_v manifest_o convince_v they_o because_o the_o fruit_n of_o their_o faith_n or_o the_o work_n whereby_o they_o be_v justify_v do_v not_o so_o much_o respect_n man_n as_o god_n for_o in_o abraham_n there_o appear_v only_o a_o love_n towards_o god_n for_o who_o sake_n he_o be_v content_v to_o forget_v the_o affection_n of_o a_o father_n &_o to_o show_v that_o although_o he_o love_v isaac_n dear_o yet_o he_o love_v god_n more_o so_o that_o if_o we_o feel_v our_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n to_o be_v so_o small_a that_o it_o can_v not_o prevail_v with_o we_o to_o kill_v &_o mortify_v the_o lust_n of_o sin_n and_o vain_a pleasure_n of_o the_o flesh_n how_o shall_v we_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v like_o abraham_n which_o have_v deny_v the_o love_n of_o himself_o so_o far_o that_o he_o do_v never_o grudge_v but_o will_v willing_o have_v kill_v his_o son_n rahab_n after_o she_o have_v make_v confession_n what_o she_o do_v believe_v concern_v the_o god_n of_o

so_o no_o doubt_n the_o praise_n or_o bless_v of_o god_n with_o a_o wicked_a tongue_n be_v not_o acceptable_a unto_o he_o mark_v then_o brief_o how_o saint_n james_n have_v reason_v to_o prove_v that_o god_n be_v not_o bless_v nor_o honour_v by_o a_o tongue_n which_o curse_v man_n first_o if_o they_o do_v sincere_o and_o from_o the_o heart_n bless_v god_n in_o deed_n how_o can_v they_o curse_v the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o man_n second_o it_o be_v unpossible_a in_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n that_o sweet_a water_n and_o bitter_a shall_v come_v out_o of_o one_o fountain_n and_o so_o be_v it_o that_o the_o true_a praise_v or_o bless_v of_o god_n and_o the_o curse_v of_o man_n shall_v come_v out_o of_o the_o same_o mouth_n let_v all_o then_o consider_v well_o how_o they_o
