to_o they_o that_o be_v obedient_a and_o disherit_v they_o that_o be_v disobedient_a so_o god_n the_o father_n promise_v inheritance_n to_o his_o child_n but_o those_o which_o of_o child_n be_v make_v

through_o desert_n of_o their_o work_n grace_n after_o the_o same_o sort_n the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v neither_o make_a child_n nor_o heir_n because_o of_o their_o work_n but_o through_o the_o

it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n shall_v give_v unto_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o dede_n deed_n both_o because_o dede_n be_v the_o true_a token_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n &_o of_o faith_n and_o also_o that_o the_o whole_a creature_n may_v bear_v witness_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o judge_v this_o answer_n be_v take_v from_o the_o confer_v of_o the_o scripture_n which_o we_o

now_o let_v we_o weigh_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o be_v wrest_v of_o the_o schoolman_n against_o free_a justification_n first_o the_o word_n justify_v be_v to_o be_v discuss_v which_o

afterward_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o faith_n wrought_v with_o his_o work_n he_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o lively_a faith_n to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v effectual_a and_o full_a of_o
