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

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

of_o david_n 4.6_o that_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n so_o that_o neither_o the_o work_n which_o david_n do_v nor_o the_o work_n which_o abraham_n do_v nor_o consequent_o the_o work_n that_o any_o other_o godly_a or_o holy_a man_n do_v after_o grace_n and_o faith_n receive_v be_v sufficient_a to_o justify_v in_o god_n presence_n for_o i_o know_v nothing_o by_o myself_o say_v s._n paul_n yet_o be_o i_o not_o thereby_o justify_v 4.4_o i_o may_v here_o further_o desire_v you_o to_o call_v to_o your_o remembrance_n that_o holy_a man_n job_n and_o that_o holy_a prophet_n of_o

in_o the_o former_a chapter_n touch_v this_o matter_n for_o not_o the_o work_n even_o of_o a_o just_a man_n do_v justify_v in_o god_n sight_n as_o s._n paul_n prove_v by_o a_o express_a testimony_n
