there_o but_o to_o take_v it_o in_o order_n as_o it_o lie_v confer_v one_o place_n with_o a_o other_o whereby_o to_o understand_v the_o better_a the_o right_a meaning_n of_o the_o writer_n how_o and_o in_o what_o sense_n he_o exclude_v good_a work_n and_o how_o not_o how_o he_o neglect_v the_o law_n and_o how_o he_o magnify_v the_o law_n for_o as_o in_o case_n of_o justify_v before_o god_n the_o free_a promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n admit_v no_o condition_n but_o faith_n only_o in_o christ_n jesus_n so_o in_o case_n of_o dutiful_a obedience_n luther_n here_o exclude_v no_o good_a work_n but_o rather_o exhort_v thereunto_o and_o that_o in_o many_o place_n thus_o time_n and_o case_n discret_o must_v be_v distinct_a the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v require_v be_v that_o in_o read_v hereof_o he_o that_o seek_v to_o take_v fruit_n hereby_o do_v bring_v such_o a_o mind_n with_o he_o to_o the_o read_n as_o the_o author_n himself_o do_v to_o the_o preach_v thereof_o that_o be_v he_o have_v need_n to_o have_v his_o sense_n exercise_v somewhat_o in_o such_o spiritual_a conflict_n and_o to_o be_v well_o humble_v before_o with_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o inward_a repentance_n or_o else_o he_o shall_v hardly_o conceive_v the_o excellent_a sweetness_n either_o of_o this_o writer_n or_o any_o other_o for_o albeit_o most_o true_a it_o be_v that_o no_o great_a comfort_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n can_v be_v find_v in_o any_o book_n next_o to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n then_o in_o this_o commentary_n of_o m._n luther_n so_o this_o comfort_n have_v little_a place_n but_o only_o where_o the_o conscience_n be_v in_o heaviness_n have_v need_n of_o the_o physicians_n hand_n the_o other_o who_o feel_v themselves_o whole_a &_o be_v not_o touch_v in_o soul_n with_o any_o sorrow_n as_o they_o little_a care_n for_o these_o book_n so_o have_v they_o little_a understand_v of_o this_o doctrine_n when_o they_o read_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n in_o my_o mind_n why_o the_o

have_v so_o little_a feeling_n &_o like_v of_o luther_n doctrine_n and_o all_o because_o they_o common_o be_v never_o great_o vex_v in_o spirit_n with_o any_o deep_a affliction_n but_o rather_o deride_v they_o that_o be_v beat_v down_o with_o such_o conflict_n and_o tentation_n of_o satan_n as_o they_o do_v by_o luther_n who_o because_o god_n suffer_v to_o to_o be_v try_v and_o exercise_v with_o the_o buffet_n of_o the_o enemy_n they_o say_v therefore_o that_o he_o learn_v his_o divinity_n of_o the_o devil_n but_o how_o he_o learn_v his_o divinity_n let_v we_o hear_v what_o he_o himself_o in_o this_o book_n fol._n 197._o &_o 198._o confess_v in_o these_o word_n say_v unless_o we_o have_v be_v exercise_v with_o violence_n and_o crafty_a assault_n by_o tirannes_n &_o heretic_n and_o in_o our_o heart_n with_o terror_n and_o fiery_a dart_n of_o the_o devil_n paul_n have_v be_v to_o we_o no_o less_o obscure_a than_o he_o be_v in_o time_n pass_v to_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o yet_o be_v to_o this_o day_n to_o our_o adversary_n the_o papist_n the_o anabaptist_n and_o other_o our_o adversary_n and_o therefore_o the_o gift_n of_o knowledge_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o our_o study_n through_o such_o inward_a and_o outward_a conflict_n open_a unto_o we_o the_o mind_n of_o paul_n and_o of_o all_o the_o scripture_n etc_n etc_n but_o let_v these_o ignorant_a papist_n who_o so_o ever_o they_o be_v taste_v a_o little_a the_o same_o or_o like_a as_o luther_n do_v and_o then_o see_v what_o they_o will_v say_v experience_n give_v demonstration_n for_o how_o many_o of_o they_o do_v we_o see_v for_o all_o their_o auricular_a confession_n which_o puff_v they_o up_o in_o false_a security_n but_o at_o length_n when_o they_o lie_v at_o the_o point_n of_o death_n where_o death_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o god_n justice_n on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v before_o their_o eye_n for_o the_o most_o part_n either_o they_o despair_v or_o else_o leave_v all_o other_o help_n they_o only_o stick_v to_o faith_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n many_o of_o they_o be_v glad_a to_o die_v lutheran_n how_o so_o ever_o they_o hate_v luther_n before_o and_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o of_o this_o doctrine_n of_o luther_n if_o the_o papist_n themselves_o be_v glad_a to_o die_v in_o it_o why_o be_v they_o unwilling_a to_o live_v in_o it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v true_a at_o one_o time_n how_o can_v alteration_n of_o time_n make_v that_o false_a which_o be_v once_o true_a and_o therefore_o where_o these_o man_n so_o stout_o wihstand_v this_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n only_o they_o be_v much_o deceive_v and_o where_o they_o allege_v s._n james_n for_o they_o that_o be_v soon_o answer_v if_o we_o right_o discern_v

faith_n without_o work_n do_v not_o justify_v who_o purpose_n be_v not_o to_o show_v we_o what_o make_v a_o just_a man_n before_o god_n but_o only_o to_o declare_v the_o necessary_a conjunction_n of_o

in_o faith_n only_o and_o so_o be_v it_o true_a likewise_o that_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o faith_n only_o without_o work_n do_v justify_v the_o which_o proposition_n of_o s._n paul_n the_o better_a to_o understand_v and_o to_o join_v it_o with_o s._n james_n here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v for_o the_o satisfy_n of_o the_o cavil_v adversary_n that_o the_o proposition_n be_v to_o be_v take_v full_a
