free_o without_o work_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o
any_o human_a industry_n or_o strength_n of_o our_o nature_n nor_o any_o precedent_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n or_o work_n and_o merit_n of_o our_o own_o but_o only_o by_o faith_n in_o the_o

which_o be_v a_o man_n be_v own_o work_n and_o not_o god_n and_o be_v call_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n not_o of_o faith_n but_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n the_o apostle_n understand_v such_o work_n as_o be_v perform_v by_o a_o man_n be_v own_o free_a will_n or_o by_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o law_n and_o nature_n only_o without_o the_o assistance_n of_o grace_n and_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o paul_n as_o those_o popish_a doctor_n will_v have_v it_o when_o he_o distinguish_v between_o justification_n by_o work_n and_o justification_n by_o grace_n or_o faith_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v by_o grace_n than_o it_o be_v not_o of_o work_n to_o wit_n such_o work_n as_o be_v do_v by_o nature_n and_o not_o by_o grace_n but_o if_o it_o be_v of_o work_n than_o it_o be_v not_o of_o grace_n for_o then_o grace_n say_v he_o will_v not_o be_v grace_n which_o opposition_n must_v be_v thus_o understand_v according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o popish_a teacher_n so_o that_o grace_n do_v not_o whole_o overthrow_v all_o work_n but_o those_o only_a that_o be_v perform_v by_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n without_o the_o assistance_n of_o grace_n but_o contrary_o the_o pious_a work_n which_o proceed_v from_o grace_n and_o faith_n their_o righteousness_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v make_v void_a by_o grace_n or_o the_o righteousness_n 30._o of_o faith_n that_o

of_o lawyer_n as_o i_o former_o have_v say_v lawyer_n where_o the_o law_n distinguish_v not_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o distinguish_v what_o need_v then_o be_v there_o in_o a_o thing_n so_o evident_a

which_o both_o pardon_n &_o renew_v for_o we_o be_v daily_o renew_v unto_o new_a obedience_n by_o the_o influence_n of_o divine_a grace_n but_o though_o this_o be_v so_o we_o be_v not_o renew_v for_o

attribute_v to_o justification_n wherefore_o as_o god_n election_n and_o call_n of_o those_o who_o be_v justify_v be_v one_o and_o not_o twofold_a it_o must_v follow_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o justification_n of_o those_o who_o be_v choose_v therefore_o if_o god_n have_v once_o choose_v those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v why_o may_v not_o one_o justification_n be_v sufficient_a for_o they_o who_o election_n have_v call_v unto_o glory_n especial_o because_o there_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o cause_n and_o manner_n both_o of_o elect_v and_o

thereof_o be_v not_o place_v in_o the_o work_n of_o man_n but_o it_o depend_v upon_o the_o free_a favour_n of_o god_n and_o the_o like_a we_o may_v say_v of_o justification_n for_o those_o who_o he_o justify_v he_o justify_v in_o christ_n but_o if_o you_o ask_v why_o do_v he_o justify_v in_o christ_n the_o cause_n appear_v evident_a which_o can_v be_v find_v in_o our_o work_v but_o before_o all_o

without_o any_o disadvantage_n to_o our_o cause_n for_o suppose_v we_o grant_v that_o faith_n be_v dead_a which_o be_v not_o move_v with_o a_o desire_n of_o do_v good_a work_n according_a to_o the_o

the_o sight_n of_o god_n be_v lively_a and_o always_o join_v with_o a_o godly_a life_n yet_o that_o this_o faith_n justify_v and_o reconcile_v we_o no_o other_o way_n but_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o

faith_n be_v not_o alone_o in_o the_o office_n of_o justify_v or_o because_o the_o faith_n that_o justify_v be_v not_o a_o dead_a but_o a_o lively_a faith_n therefore_o it_o do_v not_o justify_v alone_o without_o work_n for_o herein_o be_v a_o fallacy_n of_o the_o consequence_n but_o you_o may_v object_v whence_o then_o be_v faith_n say_v to_o be_v lively_a and_o not_o dead_a but_o from_o

of_o man_n faith_n be_v not_o discern_v to_o be_v lively_a and_o vigorous_a but_o by_o work_n yet_o faith_n receive_v not_o life_n from_o work_n but_o rather_o work_v from_o faith_n as_o fruit_n

which_o if_o they_o be_v good_a they_o evidence_n the_o root_n to_o be_v sound_a and_o lively_a and_o this_o be_v all_o they_o do_v but_o they_o communicate_v no_o life_n thereunto_o and_o this_o life_n and_o virtue_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o one_o but_o twofold_a and_o it_o act_v faith_n partly_o in_o heaven_n and_o partly_o in_o earth_n if_o you_o ask_v what_o it_o do_v among_o man_n upon_o

therefore_o the_o antecedent_n also_o be_v false_a that_o faith_n any_o be_v sufficient_a vega_n confirm_v the_o minor_a with_o this_o argument_n unless_o good_a work_n have_v be_v necessary_a in_o all_o respect_n paul_n have_v not_o so_o careful_o give_v instruction_n about_o virtue_n and_o rebuke_v vice_n and_o so_o mighty_o commend_v good_a manner_n and_o integrity_n of_o life_n but_o we_o shall_v afterward_o inquire_v into_o the_o minor_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o argument_n and_o first_o i_o deny_v the_o major_a for_o this_o be_v not_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n salvation_n be_v obtain_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n only_o therefore_o good_a work_n be_v not_o necessary_a the_o necessity_n of_o virtue_n and_o honest_a discipline_n be_v and_o always_o have_v be_v very_o great_a in_o all_o respect_v both_o private_a and_o public_a yet_o this_o necessity_n do_v not_o at_o all_o detract_v from_o the_o peculiar_a dignity_n of_o faith_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o justification_n as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o justification_n of_o faith_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o necessity_n nor_o lessen_v the_o care_n of_o a_o godly_a life_n therefore_o both_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o holiness_n be_v necessary_a the_o one_o to_o justify_v sinner_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o the_o other_o to_o exercise_v they_o that_o be_v justify_v in_o this_o world_n therefore_o there_o be_v need_n of_o a_o distinction_n in_o this_o case_n for_o according_a to_o philosophy_n a_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v necessary_a two_o manner_n of_o way_n first_o absolute_o and_o simple_o when_o one_o thing_n be_v so_o necessary_a to_o absolute_a another_o that_o it_o can_v be_v do_v or_o consist_v without_o it_o second_o in_o respect_n of_o consequence_n when_o a_o thing_n be_v of_o such_o a_o salvation_n nature_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o begin_v to_o be_v other_o thing_n also_o be_v join_v with_o it_o or_o at_o least_o soon_o follow_v after_o and_o thus_o good_a work_n in_o person_n justify_v be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n not_o simple_o but_o in_o regard_n of_o consequence_n by_o what_o i_o have_v say_v any_o reader_n that_o be_v not_o void_a of_o sense_n may_v easy_o discern_v that_o we_o seek_v not_o to_o banish_v good_a work_n out_o of_o the_o world_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v necessary_a but_o we_o only_o remove_v they_o from_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o justify_v that_o so_o both_o faith_n and_o work_n may_v be_v put_v each_o of_o they_o in_o their_o own_o place_n and_o contain_v within_o their_o own_o bound_n for_o paul_n do_v not_o in_o vain_a nor_o without_o great_a necessity_n exhort_v with_o much_o life_n vehemency_n to_o the_o godly_a practice_n of_o a_o christian_a life_n for_o what_o be_v more_o glorious_a in_o itself_o or_o more_o worthy_a of_o the_o profession_n of_o christianity_n or_o fit_a to_o adorn_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o that_o those_o who_o be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n shall_v resemble_v he_o exact_o in_o their_o manner_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o their_o life_n and_o as_o they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v citizen_n of_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n they_o shall_v according_a to_o their_o power_n endeavour_v to_o lead_v a_o life_n like_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n on_o the_o contrary_n what_o be_v more_o abominable_a or_o odious_a than_o if_o those_o who_o have_v be_v engage_v by_o so_o many_o benefit_n exalt_v to_o so_o great_a dignity_n and_o be_v join_v to_o he_o into_o so_o

this_o we_o and_o they_o agree_v that_o work_v of_o piety_n be_v very_o necessary_a but_o we_o must_v consider_v wherein_o this_o necessity_n lie_v for_o they_o be_v effect_n which_o of_o necessity_n depend_v upon_o their_o cause_n from_o whence_o they_o proceed_v but_o the_o cause_n have_v no_o dependence_n upon_o they_o by_o any_o necessity_n by_o the_o like_a consequence_n we_o call_v many_o

if_o there_o be_v opportunity_n which_o thankfulness_n be_v nevertheless_o consequence_n no_o cause_n of_o the_o kindness_n that_o be_v do_v let_v we_o here_o compare_v other_o kind_n of_o office_n who_o know_v not_o that_o a_o son_n and_o heir_n ought_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v dutiful_a to_o his_o father_n but_o again_o who_o can_v be_v ignorant_a that_o this_o be_v no_o cause_n in_o he_o why_o he_o shall_v receive_v the_o inheritance_n the_o same_o also_o may_v be_v observe_v in_o marriage_n where_o the_o wife_n be_v tie_v to_o her_o own_o husband_n of_o necessity_n owe_v subjection_n
