thus_o lay_v open_a the_o error_n of_o pelagius_n and_o of_o the_o papist_n i_o will_v gather_v four_o demonstration_n out_o of_o paul_n wherewith_o i_o will_v confirm_v the_o minor_a of_o our_o

nature_n for_o all_o man_n from_o their_o birth_n be_v unclean_a and_o guilty_a now_o see_v from_o a_o unpure_a and_o stink_a fountain_n there_o can_v choose_v but_o issue_n foul_a and_o filthy_a

mass_n for_o the_o effect_n can_v be_v better_a than_o the_o cause_n so_o that_o this_o argument_n be_v strong_a they_o which_o be_v unclean_a can_v yield_v pure_a obedience_n all_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v unclean_a christ_n alone_o except_v who_o be_v exempt_v from_o the_o common_a law_n of_o such_o as_o be_v bear_v therefore_o none_o can_v yield_v pure_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o second_o be_v take_v from_o the_o general_a experience_n argument_n or_o punishment_n of_o guiltiness_n in_o all_o man_n whosoever_o be_v subject_a to_o death_n which_o be_v the_o

it_o be_v none_o hard_a thing_n to_o judge_v how_o our_o doctrine_n concern_v good_a work_n differ_v from_o the_o papistical_a imagination_n yet_o that_o the_o more_o distinctlie_o and_o particular_o this_o difference_n may_v be_v see_v i_o will_v add_v somewhat_o more_o here-unto_o and_o that_o for_o two_o cause_n the_o first_o to_o show_v the_o vanity_n of_o those_o man_n who_o hear_v that_o both_o we_o and_o the_o papist_n do_v require_v good_a work_v do_v think_v that_o we_o strive_v not_o about_o matter_n of_o importance_n but_o only_o about_o word_n and_o that_o of_o pride_n only_o to_o gainsay_a whereby_o they_o do_v sufficient_o bewray_v themselves_o to_o know_v nothing_o touch_v this_o controversy_n of_o so_o great_a importance_n upon_o which_o all_o our_o salvation_n do_v depend_v secondlie_o that_o godly_a auditor_n may_v be_v right_o instruct_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o necessary_a doctrine_n &_o may_v have_v always_o in_o a_o readiness_n wherewith_o to_o answer_v such_o as_o endeavour_v to_o overthrow_v our_o religion_n and_o slander_v the_o same_o without_o reason_n either_o of_o mere_a malice_n or_o of_o gross_a ignorance_n the_o difference_n therefore_o between_o we_o and_o the_o papist_n touch_v good_a work_n consist_v in_o four_o thing_n to_o wit_n in_o the_o matter_n efficient_a cause_n in_o the_o manner_n and_o in_o the_o oft_o do_v of_o good_a work_v if_o we_o shall_v prove_v this_o thing_n by_o evident_a argument_n i_o think_v there_o be_v none_o but_o will_v grant_v if_o so_o be_v he_o will_v yield_v unto_o the_o truth_n rather_o than_o to_o the_o vanity_n of_o his_o own_o mind_n that_o for_o just_a cause_n we_o be_v provoke_v thus_o to_o contend_v the_o first_o difference_n therefore_o be_v take_v from_o the_o matter_n of_o work_n work_n for_o the_o papist_n do_v place_n their_o chief_a work_n and_o worship_n in_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n the_o which_o they_o prefer_v before_o god_n comaundemente_n which_o tradition_n for_o all_o that_o part_o be_v in_o their_o kind_n indifferent_a chief_a as_o appoint_v fast_n and_o certain_a song_n but_o in_o their_o use_n and_o end_v utterlie_o wicked_a sort_v because_o they_o put_v
