by_o faith_n only_o a_o carnal_a christian_a gather_v that_o good_a work_n be_v not_o necessary_a he_o commend_v other_o that_o do_v good_a work_n but_o he_o persuade_v himself_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o his_o faith_n without_o do_v any_o such_o matter_n but_o he_o shall_v know_v that_o though_o good_a work_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o justification_n 10._o yet_o they_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n for_o we_o be_v god_n workmanship_n create_v in_o christ_n jesus_n unto_o good_a work_n which_o god_n have_v predestinate_v that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o 2._o whosoever_o therefore_o in_o year_n of_o discretion_n bring_v not_o forth_o good_a work_n after_o he_o be_v call_v he_o can_v be_v save_v neither_o be_v he_o ever_o predestinate_v to_o life_n eternal_a therefore_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o 26._o christ_n will_v reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n 6._o christ_n respect_v in_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o seven_o 12._o church_n nothing_o but_o their_o work_n 2._o and_o at_o the_o last_o day_n he_o will_v give_v the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n only_o to_o they_o who_o have_v do_v good_a work_n 25._o in_o feed_v the_o hungry_a clothe_v the_o naked_a &c_n &c_n at_o that_o day_n 8._o righteousness_n shall_v wear_v the_o crown_n no_o righteousness_n no_o crown_n no_o good_a work_n according_a to_o a_o man_n talon_n no_o reward_n from_o god_n unless_o it_o be_v 8._o vengeance_n to_o be_v rich_a in_o good_a work_n be_v the_o sure_a foundation_n of_o our_o assurance_n 15._o to_o obtain_v eternal_a liâ—e_z for_o good_a work_n be_v the_o true_a fruit_n of_o a_o true_a faith_n which_o apprehend_v christ_n and_o his_o obedience_n unto_o salvation_n and_o no_o other_o faith_n 6._o avail_v in_o christ_n but_o that_o which_o work_v by_o love_n and_o but_o in_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n that_o faith_n which_o only_o justify_v be_v videt_fw-la never_o alone_o but_o ever_o accompany_v with_o good_a work_n as_o the_o tree_n with_o his_o fruit_n the_o sun_n with_o his_o light_n the_o fire_n with_o his_o heat_n the_o water_n with_o his_o moisture_n and_o the_o faith_n which_o do_v not_o justify_v herself_o by_o good_a work_n before_o man_n be_v but_o a_o 16._o dead_a faith_n which_o will_v never_o justify_v a_o man_n soul_n before_o god_n but_o a_o justify_v faith_n 9_o purify_v the_o heart_n and_o 18._o sanctify_v the_o whole_a man_n throughout_o two_o from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n eternal_a 14._o predestination_n and_o unchangeable_a decree_n he_o gather_v that_o if_o he_o be_v predestinate_v to_o be_v save_v he_o can_v but_o be_v save_v if_o to_o be_v damn_v no_o mean_n can_v do_v any_o good_a therefore_o all_o work_n of_o piety_n be_v but_o in_o vain_a but_o he_o shall_v learn_v that_o god_n have_v predestinate_v to_o the_o mean_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o end_n who_o therefore_o god_n have_v predestinate_v to_o be_v save_v which_o be_v the_o 9_o end_n he_o have_v likewise_o predestinate_v to_o be_v first_o call_v justify_v and_o make_v conformable_a to_o the_o image_n of_o his_o son_n which_o be_v the_o â—_o mean_n and_o the_o 16._o say_v st._n 2._o peter_n who_o be_v elect_v unto_o salvation_n be_v also_o elect_v unto_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n electum_fw-la if_o therefore_o upon_o thy_o call_n thou_o conforme_v thyself_o to_o the_o word_n and_o example_n of_o christ_n thy_o master_n and_o obeye_v the_o good_a motion_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n in_o leave_v sin_n and_o live_v a_o godly_a life_n then_o assure_v thyself_o that_o thou_o be_v one_o of_o those_o who_o be_v infallible_o predestinate_v to_o everlasting_a salvation_n if_o otherwise_o blame_v not_o god_n predestination_n but_o thy_o own_o sin_n and_o rebellion_n do_v thou_o but_o return_v unto_o god_n and_o god_n will_v gracious_o receive_v thou_o as_o the_o father_n do_v the_o prodigal_a son_n and_o by_o thy_o conversion_n it_o shall_v appear_v both_o to_o 10._o angel_n and_o 24._o man_n that_o thou_o do_v belong_v to_o his_o election_n if_o thou_o will_v not_o why_o shall_v god_n save_v thou_o iii_o when_o a_o carnal_a christian_a hear_v that_o man_n have_v not_o free_a will_n unto_o good_a he_o lose_v the_o reins_o to_o his_o own_o corrupt_a will_n as_o though_o it_o lay_v not_o in_o he_o to_o bridle_v or_o to_o subdue_v it_o implicit_o make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o sin_n in_o suffer_v man_n to_o run_v into_o this_o necessity_n but_o he_o shall_v know_v that_o god_n give_v adam_n freewill_n to_o stand_v in_o his_o 30._o integrity_n if_o he_o will_v man_n abuse_v his_o freewill_n lose_v both_o himself_o and_o it_o since_o the_o fall_n man_n in_o his_o state_n of_o corruption_n have_v freewill_n to_o evil_n but_o not_o to_o good_a for_o in_o this_o state_n râ—stituatur_fw-la we_o be_v not_o say_v the_o apostle_n sufficient_a to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n and_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o restore_v we_o what_o we_o lose_v so_o wretched_o and_o take_v no_o more_o care_n to_o recover_v again_o but_o as_o soon_o as_o a_o man_n be_v regenerate_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n free_v his_o will_n unto_o good_a so_o that_o he_o do_v all_o the_o good_a thing_n he_o do_v with_o a_o freewill_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o goodness_n god_n of_o his_o own_o good_a pleasure_n work_v both_o the_o will_n and_o the_o

god_n and_o in_o this_o state_n every_o true_a christian_a have_v freewill_n and_o as_o he_o increase_v in_o grace_n so_o do_v his_o will_n in_o freedom_n for_o 17._o when_o the_o son_n shall_v make_v we_o free_a then_o shall_v we_o be_v free_a indeed_o and_o 17._o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v there_o be_v liberty_n for_o the_o holy_a spirit_n draw_v their_o mind_n not_o by_o

king_n law_n forbid_v under_o the_o penalty_n of_o death_n or_o loss_n of_o thy_o worldly_a estate_n thou_o will_v not_o do_v make_v not_o therefore_o thy_o want_n of_o freewill_n unto_o good_a to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o cause_n of_o thy_o sin_n as_o thy_o want_n of_o a_o love_a heart_n to_o serve_v thy_o heavenly_a father_n iv._o when_o the_o natural_a man_n hear_v that_o no_o man_n since_o the_o fall_n be_v able_a to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v all_o his_o commandment_n he_o bold_o presume_v to_o sin_n as_o other_o do_v he_o content_v himself_o with_o a_o few_o good_a

do_v good_a or_o withstand_v evil_a he_o count_v the_o impossibility_n of_o the_o law_n but_o he_o shall_v learn_v that_o though_o since_o the_o fall_n no_o man_n but_o christ_n who_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n do_v or_o can_v perfect_o fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n yet_o every_o true_a christian_a as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v regenerate_v begin_v to_o keep_v all_o god_n commandment_n in_o

29._o spirit_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v promise_v to_o be_v more_o abundant_o pour_v forth_o under_o the_o gospel_n 10._o help_v they_o in_o their_o good_a endeavour_n aug._n and_o assist_v they_o to_o do_v what_o he_o command_v they_o to_o do_v and_o in_o so_o do_v god_n accept_v their_o 12._o good_a will_n and_o endeavour_v instead_o of_o perfect_a fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n supply_v out_o of_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n who_o fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o we_o whatsoever_o want_v in_o our_o obedience_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n saint_n john_n say_v that_o 3._o god_n commandment_n be_v
