at_o this_o that_o i_o can_v be_v persuade_v by_o any_o of_o your_o allegation_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o our_o personal_a righteousness_n or_o that_o work_v concur_v with_o faith_n unto_o

that_o in_o luke_n 19_o 17._o force_n i_o to_o confess_v that_o work_n be_v more_o than_o fruit_n of_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v why_o do_v you_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o the_o word_n because_o when-as_a you_o acknowledge_v that_o work_n be_v no_o proper_a cause_n may_v i●_n not_o be_v say_v this_n be_v a_o good_a tree_n because_o it_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n and_o yet_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o tree_n be_v before_o the_o goodness_n of_o its_o fruit_n and_o this_o be_v but_o only_o a_o manifestation_n of_o the_o other_o so_o what_o shall_v i_o see_v in_o luk._n 19_o 27_o that_o none_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n but_o such_o as_o be_v obedient_a unto_o he_o that_o i_o see_v but_o not_o that_o obedience_n be_v that_o whereby_o we_o be_v at_o least_o

of_o faith_n at_o all_o either_o must_v be_v interpret_v that_o obedience_n and_o work_n be_v necessary_a fruit_n of_o justify_v faith_n or_o else_o they_o will_v reach_v further_o than_o you_o will_v

your_o work_n be_v not_o to_o overthrow_v any_o argument_n for_o merit_n for_o which_o i_o be_o far_o from_o urge_v but_o to_o answer_v my_o reason_n which_o i_o urge_v why_o those_o scripture_n which_o you_o allege_v may_v rather_o seem_v to_o make_v work_v meritorious_a of_o salvation_n than_o to_o concur_v with_o faith_n unto_o justification_n viz._n because_o they_o follow_v justification_n but_o go_v before_o salvation_n i_o know_v you_o will_v say_v that_o they_o go_v before_o justification_n as_o continue_v and_o consummate_v at_o judgement_n but_o for_o the_o overthrow_v of_o that_o i_o need_v say_v no_o more_o till_o you_o say_v more_o in_o defence_n of_o it_o 81._o the_o text_n which_o you_o allege_v speak_v only_o of_o obedience_n and_o so_o if_o you_o will_v think_v to_o prove_v by_o they_o that_o obedience_n be_v the_o condition_n of_o our_o ●ustification_n you_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o only_a condition_n and_o so_o quite_o exclude_v faith_n which_o be_v not_o mention_v in_o those_o text_n if_o you_o say_v it_o be_v in_o other_o text_n so_o say_v i_o do_v other_o text_n show_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o only_a condition_n and_o that_o obedience_n be_v not_o concurrent_a with_o faith_n unto_o justification_n though_o it_o necessary_o flow_v from_o that_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v that_o may_v be_v allege_v as_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o justify_v sentence_n which_o yet_o be_v but_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o justify_v faith_n if_o sententia_fw-la be_v praemii_fw-la adjudicatio_fw-la than_o i_o think_v causa_fw-la sententiae_fw-la must_v be_v also_o causae_fw-la praemii_fw-la adjudicati_fw-la the_o word_n for_o when_o we_o say_v justify_v for_o faith_n must_v note_v either_o the_o

or_o work_v necessary_a to_o justify_v i_o say_v he_o do_v not_o but_o only_o drive_v at_o this_o that_o none_o must_v think_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n except_o it_o be_v a_o work_a faith_n

even_o at_o first_o when_o you_o say_v work_v be_v not_o requisite_a in_o respect_n of_o their_o presence_n with_o faith_n though_o that_o faith_n say_v i_o be_v of_o a_o work_a disposition_n differ_v

without_o work_v as_o actual_o present_a though_o you_o consider_v faith_n mere_o as_o a_o condition_n of_o justification_n see_v you_o hold_v faith_n to_o be_v alive_a in_o that_o respect_n when_o
