shall_v be_v offer_v to_o they_o and_o nothing_o be_v require_v but_o receive_v of_o it_o this_o will_v not_o sink_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n by_o nature_n they_o think_v they_o must_v do_v something_o precedent_o or_o else_o this_o righteousness_n be_v not_o offer_v they_o but_o my_o belove_a we_o must_v learn_v to_o believe_v this_o and_o know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o sanctify_v we_o after_o he_o have_v justify_v us._n i_o confess_v it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o other_o thing_n there_o be_v still_o some_o action_n of_o our_o own_o require_v to_o gain_v this_o or_o that_o habit_n or_o ability_n as_o you_o see_v in_o natural_a thing_n there_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o habit_n that_o we_o get_v by_o some_o precedent_a action_n of_o our_o own_o habit_n as_o the_o learning_n of_o art_n and_o science_n to_o learn_v to_o write_v well_o etc._n etc._n here_o there_o be_v some_o action_n of_o our_o own_o require_v to_o fit_v we_o for_o it_o and_o then_o we_o get_v the_o ability_n to_o do_v it_o but_o beside_o these_o there_o be_v other_o habit_n that_o be_v plant_v by_o nature_n in_o we_o as_o a_o ability_n to_o hear_v to_o see_v to_o taste_v etc._n etc._n now_o for_o these_o we_o need_v not_o any_o action_n of_o our_o own_o for_o the_o attain_n of_o they_o because_o they_o be_v plant_v in_o we_o by_o nature_n so_o it_o be_v in_o these_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o salvation_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o we_o may_v get_v habit_n of_o moral_a virtue_n by_o labour_n and_o pain_n of_o our_o own_o there_o be_v action_n of_o our_o own_o require_v to_o they_o and_o in_o that_o the_o philosopher_n say_v right_a that_o we_o learn_v to_o be_v temperate_a and_o sober_a and_o chaste_a etc._n etc._n but_o now_o for_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o it_o be_v not_o so_o those_o habit_n that_o nature_n have_v plant_v in_o we_o we_o exercise_v they_o natural_o without_o do_v any_o action_n of_o our_o own_o to_o attain_v they_o as_o we_o do_v not_o by_o see_v oft_o learn_v to_o see_v but_o it_o be_v a_o faculty_n natural_o plant_v in_o we_o so_o it_o be_v in_o all_o the_o work_n that_o we_o must_v do_v which_o be_v the_o way_n to_o salvation_n god_n work_v they_o in_o we_o he_o infuse_v those_o habit_n into_o us._n therefore_o this_o conclusion_n be_v good_a that_o it_o be_v faith_n alone_o by_o which_o this_o righteousness_n be_v make_v we_o to_o salvation_n this_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o apostle_n gal._n 2._o ult._n say_v he_o it_o be_v not_o by_o the_o law_n if_o righteousness_n have_v be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n than_o christ_n have_v die_v without_o a_o cause_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v salvation_n must_v needs_o be_v by_o one_o of_o these_o two_o either_o by_o something_o that_o we_o do_v ourselves_o some_o action_n that_o we_o ourselves_o have_v wrought_v or_o else_o it_o must_v be_v mere_o by_o faith_n now_o if_o it_o have_v be_v attainable_a by_o any_o work_n of_o our_o own_o christ_n die_v without_o a_o cause_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v christ_n can_v have_v give_v you_o ability_n to_o do_v those_o work_n without_o his_o die_a but_o for_o this_o very_a cause_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o die_v that_o he_o may_v work_v righteousness_n and_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o god_n so_o that_o you_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v for_o the_o first_o attain_v of_o it_o but_o to_o receive_v it_o by_o faith_n faith_n and_o if_o you_o will_v know_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n that_o may_v have_v find_v out_o many_o other_o way_n to_o lead_v man_n to_o salvation_n yet_o have_v choose_v this_o way_n above_o all_o other_o to_o save_v man_n only_o by_o faith_n receive_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v for_o we_o you_o shall_v find_v these_o four_o reason_n for_o it_o in_o the_o scripture_n two_o of_o they_o be_v set_v down_o rom._n 4.16_o therefore_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v come_v by_o grace_n reason_n mark_v it_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v have_v it_o by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v be_v of_o grace_n for_o if_o any_o thing_n have_v be_v wrought_v by_o we_o as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o chapter_n it_o must_v have_v be_v give_v as_o wage_n and_o so_o it_o have_v be_v receive_v by_o debt_n and_o not_o by_o favour_n but_o this_o be_v god_n end_n in_o it_o to_o make_v know_v the_o exceed_a length_n and_o breadth_n of_o his_o love_n and_o how_o unsearchable_a the_o riches_n of_o christ_n be_v his_o end_n be_v to_o have_v his_o grace_n magnify_v now_o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o action_n of_o we_o require_v but_o mere_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o by_o faith_n it_o have_v not_o be_v mere_o of_o grace_n for_o faith_n empty_v a_o man_n it_o take_v a_o man_n quite_o off_o his_o own_o bottom_n faith_n come_v as_o a_o empty_a hand_n and_o receive_v all_o from_o god_n and_o give_v all_o to_o god._n now_o that_o it_o may_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v free_a and_o to_o be_v altogether_o of_o grace_n for_o this_o cause_n god_n will_v have_v salvation_n propound_v to_o man_n to_o be_v receive_v by_o faith_n only_o second_o reason_n as_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v come_v by_o grace_n so_o also_o that_o it_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o promise_n may_v be_v sure_a if_o it_o have_v be_v any_o other_o way_n it_o have_v never_o be_v sure_a put_v the_o case_n that_o god_n have_v put_v we_o upon_o the_o condition_n of_o obedience_n and_o have_v give_v we_o grace_n and_o ability_n as_o he_o do_v to_o adam_n yet_o the_o law_n be_v strict_a and_o the_o least_o fail_a will_v have_v breed_v fear_n and_o doubt_n and_o will_v have_v cause_v death_n but_o now_o when_o the_o righteousness_n that_o save_v we_o be_v wrought_v already_o by_o god_n and_o offer_v to_o we_o by_o he_o and_o offer_v free_o and_o that_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o offer_n be_v the_o sure_a word_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o conjectural_a thing_n now_o we_o may_v build_v infallible_o upon_o it_o for_o unless_o faith_n have_v foot_v on_o the_o word_n we_o can_v say_v it_o be_v sure_a all_o thing_n else_o be_v mutable_a and_o subject_a to_o change_v therefore_o when_o god_n have_v once_o say_v it_o we_o may_v firm_o rest_v in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v sure_a and_o this_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v only_o by_o faith_n reason_n three_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v be_v to_o all_o the_o seed_n not_o only_o to_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o also_o to_o they_o which_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o law_n if_o it_o have_v be_v by_o the_o law_n than_o salvation_n have_v be_v shut_v up_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o gentile_n be_v stranger_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n they_o be_v unclean_a man_n shut_v out_o from_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n but_o when_o it_o be_v now_o free_o propound_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o nothing_o be_v require_v but_o only_a faith_n to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o it_o when_o there_o be_v no_o more_o look_v for_o but_o believe_v and_o receive_v hence_o it_o come_v to_o be_v to_o all_o the_o seed_n for_o abraham_n himself_o before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v he_o be_v as_o a_o common_a man_n the_o veil_n be_v not_o then_o set_v up_o yet_o even_o then_o his_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n the_o last_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v of_o faith_n reason_n be_v that_o no_o man_n may_v boast_v that_o no_o flesh_n may_v rejoice_v in_o itself_o for_o if_o it_o have_v be_v by_o any_o other_o mean_n by_o any_o thing_n do_v in_o ourselves_o we_o have_v have_v cause_n to_o rejoice_v in_o ourselves_o but_o for_o this_o cause_n say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 1.30_o 1.30_o christ_n be_v make_v to_o we_o wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n that_o he_o that_o rejoice_v may_v rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v if_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o wisdom_n of_o our_o own_o we_o have_v have_v cause_n to_o have_v rejoice_v in_o ourselves_o but_o we_o be_v darkness_n eph._n 4._o 4._o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o foolishness_n and_o weakness_n in_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o no_o flesh_n may_v rejoice_v in_o his_o presence_n again_o if_o we_o have_v have_v grace_n put_v into_o ourselves_o though_o it_o have_v be_v but_o little_a for_o which_o god_n may_v have_v accept_v we_o the_o flesh_n will_v have_v boast_v therefore_o his_o righteousness_n be_v make_v we_o but_o when_o this_o be_v do_v yet_o if_o after_o justification_n it_o have_v be_v in_o our_o power_n and_o ability_n

may_v be_v many_o delusion_n in_o this_o kind_n many_o hypocrite_n may_v have_v great_a rapture_n they_o may_v have_v great_a joy_n as_o if_o they_o be_v lift_v up_o into_o the_o three_o heaven_n they_o may_v have_v a_o great_a and_o strong_a persuasion_n that_o their_o estate_n be_v good_a satan_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o delude_v we_o in_o this_o kind_n to_o put_v a_o counterfeit_n upon_o we_o in_o stead_n of_o true_a faith_n therefore_o we_o will_v not_o content_v ourselves_o with_o this_o but_o give_v other_o mark_n that_o will_v not_o deceive_v at_o this_o time_n you_o be_v to_o consider_v you_o that_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n be_v it_o not_o a_o main_a thing_n to_o consider_v whether_o you_o have_v faith_n or_o no_o what_o do_v you_o here_o else_o you_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o christ_n you_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o he_o and_o if_o you_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o he_o what_o do_v you_o with_o the_o element_n which_o represent_v his_o body_n and_o his_o blood_n and_o therefore_o you_o have_v cause_n to_o attend_v to_o it_o first_o therefore_o if_o thou_o find_v such_o a_o work_n in_o thy_o heart_n for_o if_o thou_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o work_n thou_o need_v not_o examine_v further_o thou_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o thou_o have_v not_o faith_n but_o if_o thou_o have_v such_o a_o work_n if_o thou_o will_v know_v whether_o it_o be_v real_o and_o true_o or_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o fancy_n or_o delusion_n consider_v first_o heart_n if_o it_o be_v true_a it_o purify_v the_o heart_n in_o act_n 15.9_o say_v the_o apostle_n peter_n there_o god_n have_v put_v no_o difference_n between_o we_o and_o they_o 15.9_o after_o that_o by_o faith_n he_o have_v purify_v their_o heart_n so_o in_o act_n 26.18_o 26.18_o and_o thou_o shall_v preach_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n to_o those_o that_o be_v sanctify_v by_o faith_n so_o that_o this_o you_o must_v take_v as_o a_o sure_a rule_n if_o thy_o faith_n be_v true_a it_o purify_v thy_o heart_n it_o sanctify_v thou_o and_o therefore_o you_o see_v why_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v always_o put_v together_o repent_v and_o believe_v for_o they_o be_v never_o disjoin_v if_o thou_o find_v the_o work_n of_o repentance_n be_v not_o wrought_v thorough_o &_o sound_o in_o thou_o repentance_n if_o thou_o find_v thy_o heart_n not_o purify_v if_o thou_o be_v not_o sanctify_v if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o sanctify_a disposition_n in_o thou_o be_v sure_a it_o be_v a_o delusion_n it_o be_v not_o faith_n or_o if_o faith_n be_v as_o you_o hear_v heretofore_o a_o take_v of_o christ_n not_o as_o a_o saviour_n only_o be_v but_o as_o a_o priest_n and_o not_o as_o a_o priest_n only_o but_o as_o a_o king_n too_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o there_o must_v be_v real_a obedience_n or_o else_o it_o be_v not_o faith_n obedience_n thou_o have_v not_o take_v he_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o mere_a assent_n as_o the_o papist_n affirm_v in_o another_o case_n for_o faith_n be_v a_o take_n of_o christ_n and_o a_o give_v of_o ourselves_o to_o he_o again_o so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o match_n there_o be_v a_o bargain_n a_o covenant_n between_o we_o as_o he_o say_v in_o heb._n 8.8_o 8.8_o i_o will_v make_v a_o new_a covenant_n with_o they_o what_o now_o a_o covenant_n have_v two_o part_n if_o god_n do_v this_o for_o you_o you_o must_v do_v somewhat_o on_o your_o part_n you_o must_v love_v he_o and_o obey_v he_o as_o in_o a_o marriage_n the_o husband_n do_v not_o only_o take_v the_o wife_n but_o the_o wife_n also_o take_v the_o husband_n if_o faith_n be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o this_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o general_a reformation_n of_o the_o life_n or_o else_o it_o be_v certain_a thou_o have_v not_o take_v he_o reformation_n therefore_o know_v that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o lively_a hope_n so_o there_o be_v a_o lively_a faith_n and_o when_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o lively_a faith_n it_o intimate_v that_o there_o be_v another_o that_o be_v a_o dead_a faith_n that_o be_v there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o believe_v a_o kind_n of_o take_v christ_n a_o kind_n of_o give_v a_o man_n self_n to_o he_o but_o yet_o mark_v it_o say_v he_o it_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o breed_v no_o life_n in_o thou_o mark_v if_o thy_o faith_n be_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o have_v bring_v christ_n to_o dwell_v in_o thy_o heart_n body_n so_o as_o the_o soul_n dwell_v in_o the_o body_n if_o it_o be_v such_o a_o dwell_n in_o thy_o heart_n that_o there_o be_v life_n in_o thou_o for_o christ_n when_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o he_o act_v the_o soul_n as_o the_o soul_n act_v the_o body_n as_o the_o body_n now_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v there_o be_v able_a to_o move_v be_v able_a to_o stir_v be_v able_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n so_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o

precious_a deliver_v say_v the_o apostle_n jude_n it_o be_v but_o once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v too_o precious_a a_o treasure_n oft_o to_o be_v despence_v it_o be_v but_o once_o deliver_v to_o the_o world_n if_o christ_n do_v mean_a to_o come_v again_o and_o renew_v the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o may_v be_v more_o remiss_a and_o negligent_a for_o if_o we_o do_v loose_v they_o he_o may_v restore_v they_o again_o but_o they_o be_v but_o once_o deliver_v therefore_o your_o care_n must_v be_v to_o keep_v they_o the_o better_a beside_o it_o be_v the_o common_a faith_n therefore_o every_o man_n have_v interest_n in_o it_o faith_n do_v not_o say_v therefore_o what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v it_o belong_v to_o these_o and_o these_o man_n to_o

and_o remember_v it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o much_o moment_n for_o every_o part_n of_o the_o faith_n or_o little_a matter_n of_o faith_n i_o speak_v now_o of_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o faith_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v exceed_o exact_a in_o keep_v of_o it_o that_o it_o receive_v no_o detriment_n especial_o in_o matter_n of_o opinion_n practice_n for_o my_o brethren_n you_o must_v know_v
