may_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n because_o that_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v in_o which_o word_n he_o exclude_v from_o the_o office_n of_o justify_v not_o only_o the_o work_n of_o unbeliever_n but_o also_o of_o they_o that_o believe_v say_v that_o he_o and_o such_o as_o he_o be_v

be_v that_o they_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o they_o may_v still_o be_v justify_v by_o their_o faith_n in_o he_o and_o not_o by_o their_o work_v which_o be_v work_v do_v after_o their_o faith_n though_o he_o call_v they_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n because_o therein_o they_o be_v prescribe_v again_o where_o have_v they_o any_o ground_n for_o this_o point_n of_o divinity_n that_o christ_n
