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

of_o justification_n james_n include_v the_o same_o as_o the_o effect_n of_o justification_n see_v there_o be_v so_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o purpose_n of_o paul_n and_o james_n who_o see_v not_o the_o vanity_n of_o the_o schoolman_n which_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v contrary_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o justify_v the_o second_o necessary_a argument_n be_v take_v of_o

to_o be_v justify_v it_o be_v necessary_a therefore_o that_o to_o be_v justify_v in_o james_n do_v signify_v to_o be_v declare_v justify_v the_o third_o necessary_a argument_n be_v take_v of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o angel_n genes_n 22._o justify_v after_o that_o abraham_n have_v purpose_v to_o kill_v his_o son_n at_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n &_o be_v call_v back_o from_o his_o purpose_n by_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o angel_n he_o hear_v of_o the_o angel_n now_o i_o know_v that_o thou_o fear_v god_n 22.12_o see_v for_o my_o sake_n thou_o have_v not_o spare_v thy_o only_a son_n what_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

the_o effect_n for_o by_o that_o deed_n abraham_n declare_v that_o he_o be_v in_o very_a deed_n justify_v before_o by_o faith_n this_o fulfil_n therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o experience_n of_o man_n and_o not_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n 25_o likewise_o also_o be_v not_o rahab_n the_o harlot_n justify_v through_o work_n when_o she_o have_v receyve_v the_o

a_o most_o apt_a similitude_n propound_v he_o prove_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o hypocrite_n be_v vain_a in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v like_o a_o dead_a body_n or_o carcase_n wherein_o be_v no_o

be_v fruitful_a in_o good_a work_n and_o that_o the_o faith_n of_o hypocrite_n which_o be_v void_a of_o work_n be_v a_o vain_a boast_v rather_o than_o faith_n a_o declaration_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o repentance_n when_o as_o christ_n do_v define_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v of_o repentance_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o name_n sin_n he_o set_v forth_o two_o thing_n unto_o
