to_o the_o same_o grace_n and_o therefore_o very_o fond_o do_v m._n perkins_n infer_v that_o in_o that_o sentence_n s._n paul_n speak_v of_o work_n of_o grace_n because_o in_o the_o text_n follow_v he_o mention_v good_a work_n whereas_o the_o apostle_n put_v a_o evident_a distinction_n between_o those_o two_o kind_a of_o work_n signify_v the_o first_o to_o be_v of_o ourselves_o the_o second_o to_o proceed_v from_o we_o as_o god_n workmanship_n create_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o the_o first_o he_o call_v work_n simple_o the_o second_o good_a work_n prepare_v of_o god_n for_o we_o to_o walk_v in_o after_o our_o first_o justification_n what_o gross_a ignorance_n than_o be_v it_o to_o take_v these_o two_o so_o distinct_a manner_n of_o work_n for_o the_o same_o and_o to_o ground_n himself_o so_o bold_o upon_o it_o r._n abbot_n the_o question_n intend_v by_o m._n perkins_n be_v express_o propound_v how_o far_o forth_o good_a work_n be_v require_v to_o justification_n namely_o before_o god_n which_o he_o determine_v thus_o that_o they_o be_v require_v not_o as_o cause_n for_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v either_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o grace_n or_o in_o the_o proceed_n thereof_o but_o only_o as_o effect_n and_o fruit_n of_o justification_n which_o although_o it_o be_v imply_v in_o that_o that_o before_o have_v be_v say_v of_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o yet_o neither_o as_o touch_v first_o nor_o second_o justification_n be_v direct_o handle_v by_o m._n perkins_n but_o only_o in_o this_o place_n here_o therefore_o he_o dispute_v whole_o as_o touch_v justification_n before_o god_n that_o good_a work_n concur_v not_o as_o any_o cause_n thereof_o and_o bring_v his_o argument_n direct_o to_o that_o point_n first_o the_o apostle_n say_v 3.28_o say_v rom._n 3.28_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n m._n bishop_n except_v against_o this_o place_n as_o mean_v of_o the_o first_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n not_o appertain_v to_o the_o second_o justification_n but_o we_o find_v but_o one_o justification_n speak_v of_o by_o s._n paul_n both_o beginning_n and_o continue_v in_o faith_n for_o be_v still_o sinner_n so_o long_o as_o here_o we_o live_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n must_v still_o appertain_v unto_o we_o and_o therefore_o that_o both_o first_o and_o last_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o second_o justification_n that_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v must_v necessary_o be_v take_v to_o belong_v to_o it_o for_o he_o write_v these_o thing_n to_o the_o roman_n to_o the_o galathian_o which_o long_o
