the_o day_n because_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o physic_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o recovery_n of_o a_o man_n health_n because_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o or_o else_o a_o thing_n

and_o water_n be_v rather_o the_o cause_n of_o they_o and_o they_o necessary_a effect_n of_o these_o upon_o this_o distinction_n depend_v the_o great_a controversy_n between_o we_o and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n concern_v good_a work_n we_o agree_v on_o both_o side_n that_o to_o do_v and_o perform_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o do_v good_a work_n be_v necessary_a for_o every_o man_n which_o expect_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n the_o difference_n consist_v in_o this_o they_o say_v that_o good_a work_n be_v necessary_a to_o justification_n as_o be_v cause_n of_o it_o we_o say_v they_o be_v necessary_a to_o justification_n only_o as_o be_v effect_n of_o it_o i_o need_v not_o insist_v much_o upon_o the_o decide_n of_o the_o controversy_n in_o these_o barren_a time_n of_o we_o wherein_o there_o be_v so_o few_o which_o do_v good_a work_n i_o wonder_v what_o they_o ail_v to_o busy_v themselves_o so_o much_o in_o muse_v what_o gain_n or_o merit_n shall_v accrue_v unto_o they_o from_o they_o whether_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o merit_n of_o congruity_n or_o desert_n whether_o of_o the_o first_o grace_n or_o of_o the_o second_o when_o as_o their_o store_n methinks_v be_v yet_o so_o small_a that_o though_o they_o sell_v all_o they_o have_v and_o become_v bankrupt_a merchant_n they_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o purchase_v the_o least_o pearl_n which_o adorn_v the_o crown_n of_o glory_n i_o know_v that_o diverse_a be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a policy_n to_o persuade_v the_o common_a people_n as_o the_o pope_n do_v that_o good_a work_n be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o justification_n &_o so_o by_o a_o consequence_n of_o salvation_n because_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o heat_n of_o sin_n say_v they_o will_v be_v repress_v in_o many_o &_o

in_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o adverse_a party_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o they_o will_v soon_o perceive_v that_o their_o doctrine_n of_o work_n add_v fuel_n rather_o to_o increase_v the_o flame_n of_o bad_a desire_n in_o one_o they_o any_o way_n extinguish_v or_o diminish_v the_o vigour_n of_o it_o for_o beside_o that_o they_o teach_v that_o many_o gross_a &_o heinous_a sin_n be_v no_o sin_n &_o that_o they_o mince_v many_o and_o of_o mortal_a make_v they_o venial_a say_v that_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o reward_n for_o their_o good_a work_n &_o the_o fear_n of_o punishment_n either_o in_o

punishment_n which_o they_o have_v devise_v will_v not_o as_o much_o give_v they_o courage_n to_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n &_o persevere_v in_o the_o way_n of_o wickedness_n why_o mark_v but_o a_o little_a their_o doctrine_n in_o any_o sin_n there_o be_v these_o two_o part_n the_o guilt_n of_o it_o &_o the_o punishment_n the_o punishment_n they_o make_v to_o be_v twofold_a the_o one_o eternal_a which_o be_v in_o hell_n the_o other_o temporal_a wherewith_o say_v they_o god_n either_o afflict_v man_n in_o this_o life_n or_o else_o in_o purgatory_n when_o they_o be_v dead_a now_o will_v you_o know_v how_o easy_a a_o matter_n they_o make_v it_o to_o be_v free_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n &_o from_o hell_n fire_n why_o bellarmine_n will_v soon_o resolve_v you_o for_o that_o &_o tell_v you_o that_o these_o be_v take_v away_o by_o confess_v of_o one_o sin_n to_o the_o priest_n &_o by_o receive_v a_o absolution_n from_o he_o in_o his_o 4_o book_n de_fw-fr poenit_fw-la and_o 1._o ch_z and_o because_o contrition_n be_v so_o necessary_a to_o make_v the_o absolution_n to_o be_v of_o force_n he_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o a_o servile_a contrition_n be_v sufficient_a for_o that_o purpose_n such_o a_o one_o as_o arise_v not_o from_o a_o fear_n of_o offend_a god_n but_o only_o from_o a_o fear_n of_o the_o punishment_n which_o god_n will_v inflict_v upon_o they_o as_o we_o find_v it_o in_o his_o 2_o book_n de_fw-fr poenit_fw-la &_o 17._o ch_z which_o kind_n of_o contrition_n and_o sorrow_n for_o one_o sin_n if_o it_o be_v sufficient_a i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o that_o the_o devil_n himself_o may_v be_v absolve_v from_o his_o sin_n for_o beside_o that_o he_o tremble_v which_o argue_v that_o he_o be_v possess_v with_o such_o a_o fear_n as_o this_o saint_n james_n tell_v we_o moreover_o that_o he_o believe_v which_o i_o think_v be_v more_o than_o many_o papist_n do_v who_o content_n themselves_o with_o a_o implicit_a faith_n as_o they_o term_v it_o and_o a_o blind_a zeal_n but_o because_o when_o the_o guilt_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o hell_n fire_n be_v take_v away_o they_o teach_v that_o god_n leave_v a_o temporal_a punishment_n to_o be_v undergo_v by_o they_o either_o in_o this_o life_n or_o after_o this_o life_n in_o purgatory_n you_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o mean_n to_o avoid_v that_o will_v be_v as_o casie_a as_o the_o former_a for_o to_o

plenissimam_fw-la as_o they_o term_v they_o for_o half_a their_o sin_n or_o for_o one_o three_o or_o four_o part_n or_o if_o the_o pope_n please_v for_o all_o as_o we_o may_v well_o see_v in_o

but_o to_o leave_v they_o a_o while_n to_o themselves_o it_o shall_v be_v enough_o at_o this_o time_n to_o show_v you_o that_o howsoever_o we_o hold_v not_o good_a work_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o salvation_n nor_o yet_o that_o we_o be_v to_o merit_v heaven_n by_o they_o as_o they_o do_v yet_o that_o we_o make_v they_o absolute_o necessary_a for_o those_o which_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o

thankful_a for_o our_o redemption_n by_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v glorify_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n second_o we_o hold_v they_o to_o be_v necessary_a in_o regard_n of_o our_o neighbour_n that_o they_o may_v be_v help_v that_o they_o may_v be_v win_v by_o our_o example_n and_o that_o by_o do_v good_a the_o mouth_n of_o our_o adversary_n may_v be_v stop_v three_o we_o hold_v good_a work_n necessary_a for_o ourselves_o and_o that_o notable_o in_o these_o respect_n first_o that_o we_o may_v have_v some_o assurance_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o of_o our_o salvation_n for_o when_o we_o can_v discern_v our_o faith_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o true_a and_o lively_a one_o or_o no_o but_o only_o by_o the_o work_n which_o it_o bring_v forth_o as_o the_o tree_n be_v not_o know_v
