by_o the_o iiij_o chapter_n evident_o disprove_v for_o it_o be_v there_o plain_a that_o all_o the_o work_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n be_v as_o direct_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n as_o death_n unto_o

any_o good_a work_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n whereby_o it_o be_v clear_a than_o the_o sun_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n until_o the_o

for_o the_o tree_n must_v be_v before_o the_o fruit_n and_o in_o this_o place_n do_v paul_n open_v the_o word_n of_o isaiah_n in_o the._n 61._o chapter_n where_o he_o say_v they_o shall_v be_v call_v

but_o such_o as_o be_v already_o justify_v whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o before_o justification_n no_o good_a work_v can_v be_v wrought_v paul_n go_v forward_o and_o say_v which_o fruit_n be_v in_o you_o by_o jesus_n chryst_n here_o do_v he_o evident_o declare_v what_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o good_a work_v namely_o jesus_n chryst_n so_o that_o where_o before_o he_o have_v teach_v
