and_o to_o this_o end_n the_o apostle_n s_o peter_n also_o 3_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o first_o epistle_n do_v make_v mention_n of_o god_n abundant_a mercy_n whereby_o we_o be_v not_o only_o

that_o this_o doctrine_n seem_v contrary_a to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n write_v to_o the_o roman_n 6._o that_o god_n will_v reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o deed_n or_o to_o that_o

not_o lose_v his_o reward_n thus_o i_o answer_v god_n in_o mercy_n promise_v reward_n to_o such_o as_o do_v his_o will_n and_o in_o mercy_n he_o likewise_o perform_v the_o same_o not_o weigh_v the_o

think_v that_o a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n gyve_v may_v be_v worthy_a of_o eternal_a life_n and_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n paul_n be_v plain_a enough_o if_o we_o wrest_v they_o not_o out_o of_o their_o natural_a sense_n for_o we_o deny_v not_o that_o god_n reward_v man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n and_o the_o place_n prove_v not_o that_o god_n reward_v they_o for_o their_o work_n and_o that_o sense_n only_o can_v establish_v their_o doctrine_n of_o merit_n but_o thapostle_n say_v there_o only_o thus_o much_o that_o good_a work_n shall_v have_v a_o good_a reward_n of_o eternal_a life_n glory_n honour_n and_o peace_n evil_a work_n their_o due_a reward_n of_o wrath_n indignation_n tribulation_n and_o anguish_n so_o that_o according_a to_o the_o quality_n of_o their_o work_n

therefore_o stand_v still_o the_o undoubted_a old_a faith_n of_o the_o roman_n that_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n 20._o there_o shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v in_o god_n sight_n 21._o
