good_a work_n may_v be_v do_v through_o the_o grace_n or_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n only_o and_o that_o by_o the_o regenerate_a only_o who_o heart_n be_v regenerate_v of_o the_o holy_a

the_o benefit_n and_o blessing_n of_o regeneration_n be_v continue_v this_o we_o may_v see_v in_o peter_n and_o david_n without_o regeneration_n no_o one_o part_n of_o a_o good_a work_n can_v be_v so_o much_o as_o begin_v because_o all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o the_o cloth_n of_o a_o menstruous_a woman_n in_o which_o say_v also_o the_o prophet_n comprehend_v himself_o and_o even_o the_o

the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n in_o the_o two_o first_o chapter_n now_o as_o by_o ourselves_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o begin_v good_a work_n so_o neither_o be_v we_o ourselves_o able_a to_o accomplish_v any_o good_a work_n for_o it_o be_v god_n which_o work_v in_o you_o both_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n even_o of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n without_o impute_a righteousness_n we_o be_v

unpossible_a before_o our_o conversion_n that_o either_o ourselves_o or_o our_o work_n shall_v please_v god_n faith_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o good_a work_v faith_n come_v from_o god_n therefore_o the_o effect_n also_o shall_v come_v from_o god_n neither_o shall_v it_o go_v before_o the_o cause_n &_o therefore_o good_a work_n can_v be_v before_o conversion_n 3_o whether_o the_o work_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v perfect_o good_a the_o work_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v not_o perfect_o good_a or_o pure_a 1._o because_o the_o saint_n which_o do_v good_a work_n do_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v

urias_n commit_v adultery_n willing_a to_o cover_v it_o and_o number_v the_o people_n 2._o because_o there_o be_v not_o that_o degree_n of_o goodness_n in_o those_o good_a work_v that_o proceed_v from_o the_o saint_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v for_o their_o good_a work_n be_v not_o so_o pure_a and_o good_a as_o god_n require_v yea_o when_o the_o saint_n perform_v most_o holy_a work_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o perfect_a but_o have_v always_o in_o this_o life_n defect_n and_o be_v stain_v with_o sin_n for_o faith_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n whence_o good_a work_v flow_v be_v imperfect_a in_o we_o in_o this_o life_n the_o effect_n than_o shall_v not_o be_v perfect_a because_o the_o cause_n be_v not_o perfect_a for_o we_o do_v not_o perfect_o know_v and_o love_n

therefore_o neither_o do_v we_o so_o cheerfullie_o and_o perfect_o as_o we_o ought_v perform_v these_o work_n unto_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n i_o see_v another_o law_n in_o my_o member_n rebel_a

the_o work_n of_o the_o person_n which_o please_v god_n so_o please_v god_n as_o the_o person_n himself_o do_v now_o the_o person_n please_v god_n by_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o righteousness_n
