therefore_o they_o believe_v that_o justify_n faith_n be_v without_o good_a work_n ans_fw-fr that_o which_o we_o deny_v in_o some_o respect_n and_o consideration_n only_o that_o our_o adversary_n

our_o adversary_n maintain_v that_o faith_n be_v inform_v condition_n 5_o by_o charity_n but_o we_o say_v that_o charity_n be_v rather_o inform_v by_o faith_n because_o faith_n do_v not_o please_v
