xxxiii_o again_o whereas_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o the_o good_a work_n and_o obedience_n of_o the_o faithful_a do_v cause_n the_o lord_n to_o rain_v down_o many_o blessing_n upon_o they_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o good_a work_n be_v so_o far_o cause_v of_o god_n blessing_n upon_o we_o as_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o former_a grace_n take_v occasion_n to_o give_v we_o more_o grace_n where_o note_n that_o they_o be_v not_o meritorious_a cause_n but_o motive_n only_o for_o special_a grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n go_v before_o for_o who_o the_o lord_n will_v glorify_v they_o first_o

follow_v first_o for_o that_o they_o be_v full_a of_o 64.6_o of_o esa_n 64.6_o corruption_n next_o for_o that_o they_o be_v duty_n we_o 17.10_o we_o luk._n 17.10_o owe_v unto_o god_n three_o for_o

hold_v fast_o the_o ground_n of_o christian_a religion_n and_o this_o be_v a_o fundamental_a point_n or_o ground_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n that_o christ_n be_v give_v 3.11_o give_v 1._o cer._n

stand_v xxxvii_o there_o be_v two_o opinion_n of_o popery_n which_o be_v most_o opposite_a to_o that_o great_a ground_n of_o christian_a verity_n the_o first_o be_v that_o there_o be_v some_o moral_a virtue_n or_o work_n which_o make_v man_n acceptable_a before_o god_n before_o they_o be_v graft_v into_o christ_n the_o second_o that_o christ_n have_v merit_v for_o we_o the_o first_o grace_n that_o be_v a_o occasion_n of_o merit_v with_o god_n &_o that_o then_o it_o be_v our_o part_n to_o take_v the_o occasion_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v xxxviii_o to_o conclude_v we_o must_v very_o circumspect_o see_v to_o this_o that_o we_o build_v wise_o upon_o on_o that_o foundation_n for_o that_o doctrine_n be_v sound_a concern_v good_a work_n which_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o doctrine_n etc._n
