attribute_v to_o faith_n that_o it_o be_v call_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o righteousness_n first_o we_o must_v know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o instrumental_a cause_n only_o for_o to_o speak_v proper_o our_o righteousness_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o free_a accept_n of_o god_n in_o which_o lie_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o salvation_n but_o because_o the_o lord_n in_o give_v unto_o we_o a_o

by_o faith_n therefore_o when_o we_o attribute_v man_n justification_n unto_o faith_n we_o dispute_v not_o of_o the_o principal_a cause_n but_o we_o note_v only_o the_o manner_n whereby_o man_n come_v to_o true_a righteousness_n for_o this_o righteousness_n be_v the_o mere_a gift_n of_o god_n and_o not_o a_o quality_n which_o stick_v or_o be_v in_o man_n but_o be_v possess_v only_o by_o faith_n neither_o yet_o that_o by_o the_o desert_n or_o merit_n of_o faith_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o due_a reward_n but_o because_o we_o receive_v by_o faith_n that_o which_o god_n of_o his_o own_o accord_n and_o good_a will_n do_v give_v therefore_o all_o these_o speech_n be_v of_o like_a force_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o christ_n be_v our_o righteousness_n that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o righteousness_n that_o righteousness_n be_v get_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n that_o righteousness_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o obtain_v righteousness_n by_o faith_n whereby_o it_o appear_v how_o childishlye_a they_o err_v which_o will_v make_v these_o proposition_n agree_v together_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o work_n both_o for_o he_o that_o be_v just_a by_o faith_n he_o be_v bare_a and_o void_a of_o his_o own_o righteousness_n rest_v in_o the_o only_o grace_n of_o god._n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o paul_n to_o the_o roman_n do_v conclude_v that_o abraham_n be_v destytute_n of_o glory_n before_o god_n because_o he_o have_v obtain_v righteousness_n by_o faith_n rom._n 4.2_o for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o part_n of_o righteousness_n but_o for_o righteousness_n simp_o without_o more_o

therefore_o all_o merit_n of_o work_n be_v shut_v out_o from_o the_o cause_n of_o justification_n when_o as_o all_o be_v assign_v to_o faith_n for_o faith_n for_o that_o it_o contain_v in_o itself_o the_o free_a goodness_n of_o god_n christ_n with_o all_o his_o good_a thing_n the_o testimony_n and_o witness_n of_o our_o adoption_n which_o be_v give_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v utter_o opposite_a

must_v be_v expound_v by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n final_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o we_o be_v all_o accurse_a by_o nature_n the_o blessing_n be_v promise_v unto_o all_o nation_n in_o

nevertheless_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o this_o go_v before_o the_o covenaunte_n of_o god_n with_o abraham_n as_o be_v create_v together_o with_o man_n so_o either_o the_o reason_n of_o paul_n be_v frivolous_a or_o in_o vain_a or_o else_o it_o be_v of_o force_n against_o ceremony_n only_o i_o answer_v answer_v that_o paul_n consider_v the_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v namely_o that_o no_o reward_n be_v due_a unto_o work_n but_o by_o the_o covenante_n of_o god_n so_o although_o we_o grant_v that_o the_o law_n do_v justify_v yet_o nevertheless_o before_o the_o law_n man_n can_v not_o deserve_v salvation_n by_o their_o work_n because_o there_o be_v no_o covenaunt_n i_o affirm_v nothing_o which_o the_o school_n divine_n grant_v not_o for_o they_o teach_v that_o

be_v no_o covenant_n of_o god_n no_o testimony_n of_o accept_v or_o allow_v come_v in_o place_n no_o work_n in_o like_a manner_n shall_v suffice_v unto_o righteousness_n therefore_o paul_n discourse_n proceed_v final_o there_o be_v say_v he_o a_o double_a or_o twofold_a covenant_n of_o god_n with_o man_n the_o former_a be_v covenaunt_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o abraham_n the_o second_o in_o the_o
