as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v when_o one_o do_v good_a work_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o be_v just_a because_o none_o can_v do_v good_a work_n unless_o he_o be_v just_a for_o as_o a_o tree_n can_v

the_o blessedness_n of_o the_o man_n unto_o who_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n out_o of_o these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n i_o note_v first_o that_o whosoever_o ascribe_v his_o

notwithstanding_o abraham_n never_o once_o doubt_v of_o god_n promise_n but_o prompt_o prepare_v himself_o to_o execute_v god_n will_n whereupon_o i_o conclude_v that_o abraham_n be_v holy_a and_o

as_o he_o do_v i_o say_v three_o that_o s._n james_n speak_v of_o justification_n before_o man_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o testification_n of_o abraham_n righteousness_n to_o the_o

that_o thou_o fear_v god_n see_v for_o my_o sake_n thou_o have_v not_o spare_v thy_o only_a son_n out_o of_o these_o word_n i_o note_v first_o that_o this_o offer_v up_o of_o abraham_n son_n be_v to_o try_v abraham_n faith_n and_o obedience_n as_o i_o say_v before_o which_o i_o gather_v out_o of_o these_o word_n for_o now_o i_o know_v that_o thou_o fear_v god_n i_o note_v second_o y_z t_z it_o be_v also_o to_o make_v know_v unto_o the_o world_n that_o great_a faith_n fear_n and_o love_n which_o abraham_n have_v towards_o god_n as_o if_o god_n have_v say_v i_o know_v before_o thy_o faith_n and_o

but_o a_o doer_n of_o the_o work_n be_v bless_v in_o his_o deed_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o no_o man_n can_v keep_v the_o law_n perfect_o in_o this_o life_n as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v copious_o i_o say_v second_o y_z t_z though_o the_o regenerate_v do_v not_o fulfil_v the_o law_n exact_o yet_o do_v they_o continue_v therein_o so_o long_o as_o they_o strive_v against_o sin_n

never_o cease_v to_o impeach_v accuse_v slander_n and_o condemn_v we_o in_o this_o behalf_n yet_o do_v we_o defend_v nothing_o herein_o but_o that_o which_o their_o own_o best_a doctor_n and_o print_a

he_o term_v it_o i_o answer_v confute_v that_o that_o gloss_n and_o exposition_n be_v only_o invent_v by_o he_o and_o his_o fellow_n to_o salve_v their_o beggarly_a doctrine_n if_o it_o will_v be_v for_n beside_o y_o it_o no_o father_n say_v so_o they_o repute_v all_o work_n before_o grace_n mere_a sin_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v out_o of_o austen_n and_o our_o bishop_n unwitting_o confute_v himself_o of_o such_o force_n be_v the_o truth_n when_o he_o grant_v that_o good_a work_n do_v in_o grace_n be_v unworthy_a of_o heaven_n if_o god_n promise_v be_v set_v apart_o for_o if_o they_o merit_v ex_fw-la condigno_fw-la as_o he_o avouch_v then_o doubtless_o promise_v covenant_n and_o mercy_n be_v altogether_o needless_a second_o where_o the_o bishop_n flee_v to_o distributive_a

be_v find_v between_o our_o work_n and_o eternal_a life_n the_o 9_o objection_n you_o brag_v that_o the_o merit_n of_o good_a work_n can_v be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n 15._o but_o

reprove_v y_o e_o extortion_n of_o the_o pharisy_n &_o exhort_v they_o to_o work_n of_o charity_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v not_o unwashed_a hand_n make_v you_o eat_v unclean_o but_o your_o wicked_a

say_v and_o think_v be_v a_o probable_a sign_n of_o the_o reprobate_n who_o have_v no_o feel_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n but_o be_v become_v senseless_a in_o all_o spiritual_a contemplation_n i_o
