at_o this_o that_o i_o can_v be_v persuade_v by_o any_o of_o your_o allegation_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o our_o personal_a righteousness_n or_o that_o work_v concur_v with_o faith_n unto_o justification_n as_o be_v part_n of_o the_o condition_n that_o the_o gospel_n do_v require_v that_o thereby_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v then_o all_o protestant_a divine_n be_v man_n to_o be_v wonder_v

that_o we_o may_v have_v right_a to_o salvation_n they_o only_o manifest_v that_o right_n which_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n we_o do_v obtain_v ad_fw-la 7._o of_o james_n his_o word_n enough_o

nonsense_n be_v over-broad_a if_o you_o have_v say_v that_o you_o can_v see_v no_o good_a sense_n in_o it_o this_o have_v not_o be_v so_o much_o as_o true_o i_o can_v in_o your_o word_n for_o may_v not_o a_o thing_n be_v speak_v by_o way_n of_o sentence_n and_o yet_o by_o way_n of_o argumentation_n too_o i_o think_v yes_o when_o a_o reason_n be_v give_v of_o the_o sentence_n but_o what_o shall_v that_o in_o luke_n 19_o 17._o force_n i_o to_o confess_v that_o work_n be_v more_o than_o fruit_n of_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v why_o do_v you_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o the_o word_n because_o when-as_a you_o acknowledge_v that_o work_n be_v no_o proper_a cause_n may_v i●_n not_o be_v say_v this_n be_v a_o good_a tree_n because_o it_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n and_o yet_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o tree_n be_v before_o the_o goodness_n of_o its_o fruit_n and_o this_o be_v but_o only_o a_o manifestation_n of_o the_o other_o so_o what_o shall_v i_o see_v in_o luk._n 19_o 27_o that_o none_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n but_o such_o as_o be_v obedient_a unto_o he_o that_o i_o see_v but_o not_o that_o obedience_n be_v that_o whereby_o we_o be_v at_o least_o in_o part_n justify_v yea_o i_o think_v it_o worthy_a your_o consideration_n that_o the_o text_n which_o you_o allege_v and_o build_v upon_o speak_v only_o of_o work_n and_o obedience_n and_o not_o of_o faith_n at_o all_o either_o must_v be_v interpret_v that_o obedience_n and_o work_n be_v necessary_a fruit_n of_o justify_v faith_n or_o else_o they_o will_v reach_v further_o than_o you_o will_v have_v they_o even_o to_o make_v obedience_n and_o work_v the_o only_a condition_n of_o justification_n at_o judgement_n ad_fw-la 9_o where_o you_o perform_v that_o i_o know_v not_o but_o however_o your_o work_n be_v not_o to_o overthrow_v any_o argument_n for_o merit_n for_o which_o i_o be_o far_o from_o urge_v but_o to_o answer_v my_o reason_n which_o i_o urge_v why_o those_o scripture_n which_o you_o allege_v may_v rather_o seem_v to_o make_v work_v meritorious_a of_o salvation_n than_o to_o concur_v with_o faith_n unto_o justification_n viz._n because_o they_o follow_v justification_n but_o go_v before_o salvation_n i_o know_v you_o will_v say_v that_o they_o go_v before_o justification_n as_o continue_v and_o consummate_v at_o judgement_n but_o for_o the_o overthrow_v of_o that_o i_o need_v say_v no_o more_o till_o you_o say_v more_o in_o defence_n of_o it_o 81._o the_o text_n which_o you_o allege_v speak_v only_o of_o obedience_n and_o so_o if_o you_o will_v think_v to_o prove_v by_o they_o that_o obedience_n be_v the_o condition_n of_o our_o ●ustification_n you_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o only_a condition_n and_o so_o quite_o exclude_v faith_n which_o be_v not_o mention_v in_o those_o text_n if_o you_o say_v it_o be_v in_o other_o text_n so_o say_v i_o do_v other_o text_n show_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o only_a condition_n and_o that_o obedience_n be_v not_o concurrent_a with_o faith_n unto_o justification_n though_o it_o necessary_o flow_v from_o that_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v that_o may_v be_v allege_v as_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o justify_v sentence_n which_o yet_o be_v but_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o justify_v faith_n if_o sententia_fw-la be_v praemii_fw-la adjudicatio_fw-la than_o i_o think_v causa_fw-la sententiae_fw-la must_v be_v also_o causae_fw-la praemii_fw-la adjudicati_fw-la the_o word_n for_o when_o we_o say_v justify_v for_o faith_n must_v note_v either_o the_o formal_a or_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n the_o ratio_fw-la sententiae_fw-la may_v be_v draw_v from_o that_o which_o be_v neither_o the_o formal_a nor_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o justification_n nor_o yet_o a_o condition_n or_o instrument_n of_o it_o but_o only_o a_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o that_o which_o be_v so_o 3._o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o say_v that_o work_n do_v justify_v we_o in_o that_o sense_n as_o you_o take_v it_o viz._n as_o joint_a condition_n with_o faith_n of_o justification_n 4._o i_o think_v it_o not_o so_o proper_a to_o say_v we_o must_v be_v judge_v and_o receive_v our_o reward_n by_o our_o work_n as_o according_a to_o our_o work_n and_o however_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o our_o work_n be_v not_o as_o much_o as_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o they_o otherwise_o than_o as_o they_o be_v fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o manifest_a our_o interest_n in_o christ_n by_o who_o all_o that_o believe_v be_v justify_v act_v 13._o 39_o
