of_o abraham_n for_o if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n whosoever_o will_v be_v his_o child_n must_v in_o like_a manner_n stand_v fast_a and_o stay_v themselves_o in_o faith_n he_o pass_v

neither_o can_v be_v find_v therefore_o all_o small_a and_o great_a be_v in_o this_o place_n condemn_v here_o want_v the_o minor_a and_o conclusion_n of_o the_o agreement_n for_o this_o be_v the_o

will_v be_v give_v a_o instance_n therefore_o either_o paul_n do_v reason_n foolish_o or_o else_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n by_z and_o by_o the_o adversary_n will_v

of_o good_a and_o evil_a but_o paul_n do_v put_v in_o this_o place_n out_o of_o controversy_n that_o which_o the_o papist_n at_o these_o day_n do_v account_n as_o a_o accurse_a opinion_n name_o that_o man_n shall_v be_v destitute_a of_o strength_n to_o observe_v the_o law_n and_o so_o bold_o he_o conclude_v that_o all_o be_v accurse_v because_o it_o be_v command_v unto_o all_o to_o keep_v the_o lawful_o and_o whole_o that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o ability_n fail_v they_o in_o this_o corruption_n of_o nature_n hereof_o we_o gather_v in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o law_n accurse_v it_o do_v it_o accidentlye_o but_o that_o accidental_a be_v perpetual_a and_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o we_o for_o the_o corruption_n and_o faultinesse_n of_o our_o nature_n do_v separate_v we_o from_o the_o blessing_n that_o the_o law_n set_v forth_o unto_o we_o and_o therefore_o the_o curse_n only_o remain_v 11_o and_o that_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v in_o the_o law_n again_o he_o reason_v by_o compare_v of_o contrary_n after_o this_o sort_n if_o we_o be_v righteous_a by_o faith_n than_o be_v it_o not_o by_o the_o law_n but_o we_o be_v righteous_a by_o faith_n and_o therefore_o not_o by_o the_o law_n he_o prove_v the_o minor_a by_o the_o testimony_n of_o habacuc_n the_o which_o he_o also_o allege_v 1._o rom._n 17._o he_o prove_v the_o mayor_n by_o the_o diverse_a or_o contrary_a mean_n of_o justification_n for_o the_o law_n do_v then_o justify_v when_o as_o a_o man_n do_v fulfil_v whatsoever_o it_o command_v but_o faith_n do_v justify_v they_o which_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o merit_n of_o work_n do_v rest_n upon_o christ_n only_o these_o two_o can_v come_v together_o at_o once_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o our_o own_o desert_n

once_o already_o both_o conceive_v and_o bear_v now_o the_o second_o time_n must_v they_o be_v bear_v after_o their_o backslide_n he_o make_v the_o matter_n somewhat_o less_o hateful_a when_o he_o

preach_v as_o instrument_n thereunto_o he_o ascribe_v unto_o they_o that_o which_o be_v his_o because_o that_o with_o the_o endeavour_n of_o man_n he_o join_v the_o force_n of_o his_o spirit_n we_o must_v always_o hold_v fast_o that_o distinction_n that_o when_o the_o minister_n be_v oppose_v or_o set_v against_o god_n he_o be_v nothing_o and_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o be_v a_o unprofitable_a instrument_n but_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v effectual_o by_o he_o the_o praise_n and_o title_n of_o the_o deed_n be_v also_o pass_v over_o unto_o he_o but_o true_o than_o be_v not_o declare_v of_o what_o force_n the_o minister_n be_v by_o himself_o and_o apart_o from_o god_n but_o what_o god_n do_v work_v by_o he_o therefore_o if_o minister_n mean_v to_o be_v any_o
