prot._n i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o have_v bellarmin_n such_o expression_n as_o these_o that_o because_o god_n will_v honour_v his_o child_n he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o get_v heaven_n by_o their_o

then_o this_o will_v not_o reach_v our_o case_n the_o great_a hindrance_n of_o merit_n in_o our_o work_n be_v that_o the_o best_a of_o they_o be_v imperfect_a and_o a_o debt_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n before_o hand_n but_o christ_n work_n be_v of_o another_o kind_n they_o be_v complete_a and_o perfect_a and_o in_o part_n no_o debt_n for_o though_o when_o christ_n be_v make_v man_n he_o be_v a_o debtor_n to_o god_n and_o bind_v as_o a_o creature_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n yet_o this_o be_v a_o voluntary_a act_n and_o no_o debt_n to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v become_v man_n and_o so_o put_v himself_o under_o the_o law_n beside_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o person_n make_v his_o work_n proportionable_a unto_o all_o the_o glory_n he_o receive_v whereas_o all_o our_o suffering_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v compare_v with_o our_o glory_n rom._n 8._o 18._o second_o it_o may_v be_v both_o a_o inheritance_n and_o parchase_n in_o christ_n in_o divers_a respect_n because_o he_o have_v two_o nature_n as_o he_o be_v god_n or_o the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o be_v his_o inheritance_n and_o belong_v to_o his_o manhood_n only_o as_o unite_v with_o the_o godhead_n as_o he_o be_v man_n he_o may_v purchase_v it_o by_o what_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o in_o we_o there_o be_v not_o two_o nature_n nor_o any_o of_o these_o pretence_n to_o merit_n moreover_o scripture_n speak_v of_o two_o kind_n of_o reward_n the_o one_o of_o grace_n the_o other_o of_o debt_n and_o withal_o affirm_v that_o the_o reward_n which_o god_n give_v to_o good_a man_n be_v mere_o of_o grace_n as_o we_o profess_v and_o not_o of_o debt_n as_o you_o pretend_v rom._n 4._o 4._o pop._n possible_o it_o may_v be_v of_o both_o as_o bellarmin_n say_v 17._o prot._n no_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v

otherwise_o work_n be_v no_o more_o work_n and_o this_o reward_n be_v not_o give_v to_o he_o that_o work_v but_o believe_v rome_n 4._o 5._o no_o protestant_n can_v speak_v our_o doctrine_n more_o full_o pop._n but_o god_n give_v this_o reward_n to_o man_n for_o work_v in_o his_o vineyard_n mat._n 20._o prot._n it_o be_v true_a but_o still_o the_o reward_n appear_v to_o be_v of_o grace_n because_o it_o be_v alike_o to_o he_o that_o come_v at_o the_o last_o hour_n as_o to_o they_o that_o have_v bear_v the_o heat_n and_o burden_n of_o the_o day_n vers_fw-la 12._o but_o that_o heaven_n be_v a_o reward_n of_o justice_n and_o a_o due_a debt_n as_o you_o profess_v this_o text_n prove_v not_o and_o other_o scripture_n plain_o contradict_v pop._n but_o god_n be_v say_v to_o reward_v man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o they_o and_o that_o imply_v merit_n prot._n not_o so_o neither_o for_o since_o god_n be_v please_v to_o reward_v in_o we_o his_o own_o gift_n and_o grace_n not_o our_o merit_n as_o s._n bernard_n speak_v he_o may_v still_o keep_v the_o proportion_n and_o to_o they_o to_o who_o he_o give_v more_o grace_n here_o he_o may_v give_v more_o glory_n hereafter_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o more_o merit_n in_o this_o additional_a reward_n than_o in_o the_o rest_n again_o i_o may_v as_o well_o conclude_v that_o the_o blind_a man_n merit_v their_o sight_n because_o christ_n say_v be_v it_o unto_o you_o according_a to_o your_o faith_n matth._n 9_o 29._o as_o you_o gather_v merit_n from_o this_o phrase_n
