be_v no_o true_a faith_n without_o charity_n moses_n in_o the_o ecclesiastic_a story_n be_v wont_a to_o say_v i_o like_v that_o faith_n better_o that_o can_v be_v see_v then_o that_o faith_n which_o only_o can_v be_v hear_v intra_fw-la ubi_fw-la bona_fw-la opera_fw-la non_fw-la apparent_a ad_fw-la extra_fw-la ibi_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la bonum_fw-la opus_fw-la ad_fw-la intra_fw-la so_o where_o there_o be_v no_o charity_n ad_fw-la extra_fw-la without_o there_o be_v no_o true_a faith_n ad_fw-la intra_fw-la within_o so_o john_n husse_v though_o faith_n have_v a_o pre-eminence_n because_o work_n grow_v out_o of_o it_o and_o so_o faith_n as_o the_o root_n be_v first_o yet_o work_v have_v the_o pre-eminence_n thus_o both_o in_o that_o they_o include_v faith_n in_o believer_n in_o they_o and_o that_o they_o diffuse_v and_o spread_v themselves_o more_o than_o faith_n do_v and_o it_o be_v remarkable_a that_o though_o christ_n refer_v oft_o to_o believe_v in_o this_o life_n because_o he_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o plant_v and_o fasten_v that_o safe_o which_o be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o faith_n yet_o in_o the_o next_o life_n his_o proceed_n be_v ground_v on_o work_n and_o he_o will_v judge_v we_o according_a to_o our_o fruit_n 2._o because_o work_n be_v visible_a demonstration_n of_o faith_n in_o title_n and_o conveyance_n where_o land_n be_v make_v over_o to_o we_o we_o have_v seal_n to_o our_o write_n and_o witness_n to_o our_o seal_n so_o here_o our_o person_n be_v instrumental_o justify_v by_o our_o faith_n as_o we_o ordinary_o speak_v but_o our_o faith_n be_v justify_v by_o our_o work_n the_o evidence_n to_o god_n that_o our_o work_n be_v good_a scil_n formal_o be_v our_o faith_n the_o evidence_n to_o man_n that_o our_o faith_n be_v good_a probable_o be_v our_o work_n man_n can_v give_v testimony_n concern_v our_o charity_n but_o faith_n be_v a_o secret_a and_o god_n only_o can_v witness_v to_o that_o now_o god_n who_o be_v all_o spirit_n will_v not_o judge_v the_o world_n immediate_o but_o by_o our_o mediator_n god-man_n that_o humane_a nature_n that_o hang_v on_o the_o cross_n shall_v q._n d._n sit_v on_o a_o throne_n the_o judge_n then_o shall_v be_v visible_a and_o the_o person_n to_o be_v judge_v shall_v be_v visible_a and_o the_o public_a process_n shall_v in_o a_o great_a part_n be_v concern_v thing_n visible_a too_o god_n will_v so_o act_v at_o that_o day_n as_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v see_v the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o process_n he_o will_v judge_v not_o according_a to_o his_o secret_a counsel_n his_o cabinet_n decree_n but_o according_a to_o evidence_n and_o his_o revealed_z law_n now_o james_n say_v show_v i_o thy_o faith_n without_o work_n and_o i_o will_v show_v thou_o my_o faith_n by_o my_o work_n this_o demonstration_n à_fw-la posteriori_fw-la be_v manifest_a faith_n like_o the_o queen_n of_o the_o south_n come_v not_o alone_o to_o solomon_n she_o bring_v her_o train_n after_o she_o faith_n be_v this_o queen_n let_v repentance_n be_v her_o usher_n to_o go_v before_o she_o and_o good_a work_n as_o patience_n charity_n meekness_n the_o court_n that_o follow_v she_o so_o let_v she_o come_v to_o the_o king_n of_o glory_n in_o the_o presence_n chamber_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o heaven_n as_o long_o as_o we_o feel_v thy_o pulse_n beat_v we_o be_v sure_o thou_o live_v yet_o the_o beat_n of_o thy_o pulse_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n why_o thou_o live_v but_o a_o sign_n by_o the_o effect_n as_o christ_n say_v of_o himself_o when_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n view_v my_o work_n say_v he_o they_o be_v they_o that_o testify_v of_o i_o so_o i_o may_v say_v of_o man_n their_o conversation_n their_o work_n testify_v what_o they_o be_v good_a work_n before_o man_n be_v good_a witness_n of_o our_o faith_n before_o god_n god_n will_v then_o examine_v man_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o man_n can_v bear_v testimony_n to_o 3._o because_o man_n accuse_v natural_o and_o general_o appeal_v to_o their_o good_a work_n by_o who_o or_o by_o what_o will_v the_o hypocrite_n be_v try_v by_o god_n people_n no_o by_o the_o work_n of_o regeneration_n no_o for_o that_o be_v a_o mystery_n unknown_a to_o they_o but_o by_o my_o work_n will_v i_o be_v try_v why_o then_o to_o thy_o work_n thou_o shall_v go_v thou_o boast_v of_o thy_o work_n but_o where_o be_v their_o goodness_n how_o can_v thy_o work_n be_v good_a if_o thou_o thyself_o the_o worker_n be_v evil_a the_o lord_n like_v adverb_n better_a than_o adjective_n benè_fw-la better_o then_o bonum_fw-la do_v your_o work_n proceed_v from_o a_o good_a heart_n and_o do_v they_o tend_v to_o a_o good_a end_n our_o work_n must_v not_o only_o material_o be_v good_a for_o there_o may_v be_v malum_fw-la opus_fw-la in_o bonâ_fw-la materiâ_fw-la but_o the_o aim_n and_o intention_n of_o our_o work_n must_v be_v good_a also_o or_o else_o notwithstanding_o our_o good_a work_n we_o be_v evil_a worker_n before_o god_n and_o further_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o mere_a outside_n christian_n will_v then_o be_v find_v to_o have_v be_v defective_a in_o good_a work_n in_o some_o or_o other_o good_a work_n either_o he_o will_v be_v charge_v for_o injustice_n in_o get_v his_o estate_n with_o which_o he_o have_v be_v charitable_a and_o that_o be_v not_o proper_o charity_n for_o a_o man_n as_o we_o say_v to_o steal_v the_o whole_a loaf_n out_o of_o the_o cupboard_n of_o a_o poor_a man_n and_o then_o to_o give_v he_o a_o crust_n at_o the_o door_n or_o as_o the_o spanish_a proverb_n be_v to_o steal_v a_o goose_n and_o stick_v down_o a_o feather_n or_o second_o for_o partiality_n in_o do_v good_a we_o may_v observe_v that_o all_o cause_n be_v require_v to_o make_v a_o action_n good_a but_o one_o defective_a circumstance_n will_v render_v a_o action_n bad_a four_o good_a work_n will_v then_o be_v call_v in_o for_o evidence_n because_o by_o they_o we_o be_v like_o god_n what_o one_o evangelist_n have_v be_v perfect_a as_o your_o heavenly_a father_n be_v perfect_a another_o render_v it_o be_v you_o merciful_a as_o your_o heavenly_a father_n some_o thing_n god_n teach_v we_o by_o precept_n other_o thing_n he_o teach_v we_o by_o example_n as_o to_o repent_v by_o precept_n to_o love_v by_o example_n now_o we_o more_o imitate_v god_n in_o follow_v his_o precept_n then_o in_o obey_v his_o command_n simple_o so_o consider_v we_o be_v more_o like_a god_n in_o our_o love_n then_o in_o our_o repentance_n hence_o god_n in_o scripture_n be_v call_v love_n but_o not_o faith_n proper_o a_o believer_n that_o be_v a_o good_a man_n a_o man_n full_a of_o compassion_n and_o bowel_n of_o mercy_n be_v the_o most_o godly_a the_o most_o godlike_a man_n in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o application_n and_o conclusion_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o when_o a_o believer_n die_v his_o work_n die_v not_o with_o he_o use_v 1_o hence_o be_v by_o way_n of_o caution_n concern_v good_a work_n good_a work_n say_v the_o papist_n on_o this_o scripture_n go_v before_o in_o respect_n of_o merit_n but_o follow_v after_o in_o respect_n of_o reward_n but_o the_o word_n speak_v of_o the_o reward_n that_o follow_v not_o of_o the_o merit_n that_o go_v before_o a_o reward_n we_o acknowledge_v merit_v we_o deny_v we_o shall_v be_v reward_v according_a to_o our_o good_a work_n but_o not_o for_o our_o good_a work_n it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o merit_v that_o merit_n suffice_v not_o the_o antinomian_o say_v good_a work_n be_v not_o necessary_a for_o salvation_n they_o may_v better_o say_v they_o be_v not_o necessary_a as_o to_o justification_n that_o be_v that_o they_o justify_v not_o he_o that_o beg_v mercy_n boast_v not_o of_o merit_n good_a work_n do_v not_o go_v before_o but_o follow_v we_o to_o heaven_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o golden_a key_n to_o open_v the_o door_n of_o paradise_n it_o be_v report_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o simon_n magus_n be_v that_o a_o bare_a profession_n of_o faith_n without_o a_o reformation_n in_o the_o life_n be_v sufficient_a for_o salvation_n austin_n just_o conceive_v that_o one_o reason_n why_o james_n so_o prefer_v
