as_o the_o tree_n be_v know_v to_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a by_o seven_o none_o other_o way_n then_o by_o his_o fruit_n so_o the_o faithful_a not_o by_o his_o word_n but_o by_o his_o exercise_n be_v

not_o this_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v suppose_v that_o he_o that_o want_v faith_n that_o teach_v to_o work_n can_v be_v justify_v have_v the_o same_o faith_n now_o give_v that_o hereafter_o will_v

the_o thief_n that_o never_o wrought_v be_v cause_n he_o want_v that_o faith_n by_o which_o now_o he_o be_v justify_v whereby_o he_o will_v have_v wrought_v if_o he_o have_v live_v therefore_o do_v faith_n only_o justify_v in_o they_o that_o be_v prevent_v that_o they_o can_v work_v according_a to_o the_o same_o &_o therefore_o grace_n make_v they_o free_a but_o to_o other_o that_o have_v time_n and_o therein_o also_o the_o justify_v faith_n they_o have_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o same_o neither_o do_v i_o speak_v thus_o as_o if_o god_n need_v our_o work_n or_o gift_n who_o give_v unto_o we_o
