of_o those_o two_o principal_a part_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n the_o promise_n and_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o to_o the_o promise_v we_o must_v refer_v all_o that_o he_o

all_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n of_o live_v godly_a and_o righteous_o according_a to_o that_o faith_n and_o of_o love_a god_n sincere_o or_o not_o love_v the_o world_n that_o we_o may_v live_v godly_a and_o of_o love_v our_o brother_n sincere_o not_o hypocritical_o that_o we_o may_v live_v righteous_o the_o like_a may_v we_o say_v for_o st._n james_n and_o st._n

have_v desert_v and_o with_o dehortation_n from_o the_o the_o contrary_a vice_n which_o they_o have_v commit_v and_o we_o may_v be_v catholic_n in_o this_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n according_a to_o these_o catholic_n epistle_n and_o yet_o still_o deny_v justification_n by_o work_n for_o it_o be_v only_o the_o faith_n in_o christ_n that_o be_v justify_v by_o its_o work_n but_o the_o man_n be_v still_o justify_v only_o by_o his_o faith_n 7._o you_o be_v as_o zealous_a for_o justification_n by_o work_n as_o st._n paul_n be_v against_o it_o with_o what_o good_a conscience_n i_o can_v say_v but_o sure_o upon_o no_o good_a ground_n yet_o you_o have_v appeal_v to_o st._n paul_n himself_o as_o the_o judge_n of_o this_o controversy_n to_o decide_v on_o your_o side_n and_o according_o

upon_o these_o premise_n no_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o all_o man_n whatsoever_o be_v transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o no_o man_n whatsoever_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o no_o man_n whatsoever_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o work_n for_o all_o
