glad_a lusty_a cheerful_a and_o true-harted_n unto_o god_n and_o unto_o all_o creature_n so_o that_o it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o separate_v good_a life_n and_o good_a work_n from_o this_o faith_n even_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o separate_v heat_n and_o burn_a from_o the_o fire_n therefore_o take_v heed_n to_o thyself_o and_o beware_v of_o thy_o own_o fantasy_n and_o imagination_n which_o to_o judge_v of_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n that_o thou_o will_v seem_v wise_a when_o in_o deed_n thou_o be_v stark_o blind_a pray_v unto_o god_n therefore_o that_o he_o will_v in_o mercy_n vouchsafe_v to_o work_v this_o true_a faith_n in_o thy_o heart_n or_o else_o shall_v thou_o remain_v evermore_o faithless_a now_o it_o be_v for_o every_o true_a christian_a to_o know_v and_o understand_v that_o they_o be_v accept_v justify_v and_o at_o peace_n with_o god_n only_o through_o faith_n in_o christ_n our_o saviour_n and_o that_o work_n be_v to_o be_v set_v apart_o in_o the_o only_a point_n to_o be_v any_o cause_n of_o our_o justification_n with_o faith_n yet_o hope_v and_o charity_n follow_v the_o same_o say_v by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o regenerate_a that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o they_o no_o nor_o by_o faith_n as_o of_o it_o own_o virtue_n othervise_v then_o instrumental_o as_o apprehend_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v without_o we_o and_o be_v no_o otherwise_o we_o then_o by_o imputation_n for_o as_o a_o good_a tree_n have_v good_a fruit_n necessary_o so_o have_v a_o right_a faith_n good_a life_n and_o good_a work_n but_o then_o good_a work_n though_o they_o be_v not_o separate_v from_o faith_n yet_o they_o be_v separate_v from_o be_v any_o cause_n of_o justification_n with_o faith_n as_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n make_v diverse_a and_o sundry_a argument_n for_o the_o proof_n thereof_o as_o in_o the_o 3._o to_o the_o rom_n 20.21.22_o etc._n etc._n where_o he_o testify_v that_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n no_o flesh_n can_v be_v justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o by_o the_o law_n come_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n but_o now_o say_v he_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n make_v manifest_a without_o the_o law_n have_v witness_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n to_o wit_n the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o all_o and_o upon_o all_o that_o believe_v for_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n for_o all_o have_v sin_v and_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n through_o the_o redemption_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o reconciliation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n to_o declare_v his_o righteousness_n by_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o the_o sin_n that_o be_v past_a to_o show_v at_o this_o time_n his_o righteousness_n that_o he_o may_v be_v just_a and_o the_o justifier_n of_o he_o that_o believe_v of_o jesus_n christ_n now_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o have_v testify_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o grace_n through_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o work_n conclude_v by_o pose_v a_o question_n and_o give_v answer_n thereunto_o say_v where_o then_o be_v thy_o rejoice_v it_o be_v exclude_v by_o what_o law_n of_o work_n nay_o but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n affirm_v with_o a_o conclusion_n we_o hold_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o say_v without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n again_o know_v this_o that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o have_v believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n because_o that_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v istify_v gal._n 2.16_o for_o if_o there_o have_v be_v a_o law_n give_v which_o can_v have_v give_v life_n sure_o than_o righteousness_n shall_v have_v be_v by_o the_o law_n but_o the_o scripture_n have_v conclude_v all_o under_o sin_n that_o the_o promise_n by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v give_v unto_o they_o that_o believe_v gal._n 3.21.22_o you_o be_v abolish_v from_o christ_n say_v the_o apostle_n whosoever_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n you_o be_v fall_v from_o grace_n for_o we_o through_o the_o spirit_n wait_v for_o the_o hope_n of_o righteousness_n through_o faith_n gal._n 5.4.5_o again_o by_o grace_n we_o be_v fave_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o ourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v himself_o for_o we_o be_v his_o workmanship_n create_v in_o christ_n jesus_n unto_o good_a work_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o ephes_n 2.8.9_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o promise_n that_o abraham_n shall_v be_v heir_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o to_o abraham_n or_o to_o his_o seed_n through_o the_o law_n but_o through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n for_o if_o they_o which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n be_v heir_n then_o be_v faith_n but_o vain_a and_o the_o promise_v make_v of_o none_o effect_n rom._n 4.13.14_o for_o if_o righteousness_n come_v of_o the_o law_n then_o be_v christ_n dead_a in_o vain_a gal._n 2.21_o beside_o many_o other_o place_n in_o the_o scripture_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n as_o to_o the_o gal._n 3.11_o ephes_n 3.9_o rom._n 4.5.6_o titus_n 3.5_o 2._o tim._n 1.9_o heb._n 2.4_o now_o it_o follow_v to_o bring_v some_o argument_n and_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o and_o not_o by_o work_n the_o first_o be_v that_o whereby_o man_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o by_o that_o also_o he_o shall_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n man_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o ergo_fw-la by_o faith_n also_o man_n shall_v be_v justify_v for_o as_o we_o attain_v to_o eternal_a life_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n be_v apprehend_v by_o faith_n so_o for_o his_o sake_n we_o be_v pronounce_v for_o just_a and_o absolve_v from_o the_o guilt_n and_o punishment_n of_o eternal_a death_n therefore_o these_o two_o proposition_n be_v convertible_a a_o man_n justify_v shall_v live_v for_o ever_o and_o a_o man_n live_v for_o ever_o be_v justify_v these_o effect_n of_o justification_n be_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n attribute_v unto_o this_o only_a cause_n faith_n for_o what_o be_v more_o know_v than_o that_o say_n so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o have_v give_v his_o only_o beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v eternal_a life_n it_o be_v say_v by_o the_o prophet_n abacuch_n 2.4_o the_o just_a man_n shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n and_o what_o be_v more_o manifest_a than_o that_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o god._n rom._n 5.1_o so_o then_o if_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o his_o faith_n that_o be_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o to_o wit_n christ_n apprehend_v by_o faith_n then_o be_v he_o not_o justify_v by_o his_o own_o righteousness_n for_o man_n be_v save_v either_o by_o his_o own_o righteousness_n or_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o but_o man_n be_v save_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o namely_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n as_o be_v declare_v by_o abacuk_n ergo_fw-la man_n be_v not_o save_v by_o his_o own_o righteousness_n wherefore_o if_o man_n shall_v be_v iustify_v by_o his_o work_n than_o shall_v he_o also_o live_v by_o his_o work_n but_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o baruk_n man_n shall_v not_o live_v by_o his_o work_n but_o by_o faith_n only_o for_o work_n that_o be_v wicked_a and_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o provoke_v god_n wrath_n deserve_v no_o reward_n or_o recompense_n much_o less_o do_v they_o deserve_v righteousness_n and_o eternal_a life_n but_o the_o work_n of_o all_o man_n be_v wicked_a and_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o provoke_v god_n wrath_n ergo_fw-la the_o work_n of_o no_o man_n but_o christ_n only_o deserve_v any_o reward_n or_o recompense_n much_o less_o do_v they_o deserve_v righteousness_n and_o eternal_a life_n how_o faith_n do_v justify_v and_o how_o work_n god_n do_v commend_v unto_o all_o the_o world_n the_o adjoin_v of_o outward_a work_n to_o inward_a faith_n consonant_a unto_o which_o be_v paul_n the_o apostle_n when_o he_o require_v a_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o love_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o aswell_o with_o the_o mouth_n we_o confess_v unto_o righteousness_n as_o with_o the_o heart_n believe_v unto_o salvation_n rom._n 9_o also_o our_o saviour_n himself_o who_o require_v to_o the_o
