that_o the_o promise_v evangelical_n have_v no_o condition_n annex_v but_o the_o legal_a promise_n be_v never_o offer_v without_o condition_n for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v honour_v thy_o father_n and_o

the_o gospel_n forgive_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v forgive_v give_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v etc._n etc._n wherefore_o see_v this_o be_v not_o the_o difference_n we_o must_v seek_v out_o some_o other_o it_o appear_v therefore_o to_o he_o that_o diligent_o consider_v that_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o law_n may_v be_v cause_n of_o the_o obtainment_n of_o the_o reward_n promise_v for_o if_o they_o have_v be_v perfect_a and_o absolute_a as_o the_o law_n require_v they_o they_o may_v be_v compare_v with_o the_o reward_n themselves_o and_o have_v also_o have_v esteem_n of_o merit_n but_o see_v these_o can_v be_v perform_v by_o man_n god_n of_o his_o mercy_n give_v in_o their_o stead_n evangelical_n promise_v which_o although_o they_o have_v condition_n add_v yet_o be_v offer_v free_o wherefore_o if_o thou_o join_v these_o three_o thing_n together_o that_o the_o evangelical_n reward_n be_v promise_v free_o that_o the_o condition_n can_v be_v compare_v unto_o or_o equalise_v with_o they_o that_o the_o promise_n must_v be_v most_o firm_a and_o take_v away_o the_o account_n of_o merit_n you_o may_v see_v wherein_o these_o differ_v from_o those_o of_o the_o law_n and_o thus_o i_o hope_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v condition_n of_o work_n which_o peter_n martyr_n do_v deny_v that_o he_o do_v not_o deny_v they_o simple_o neither_o but_o only_o as_o meritorious_a
