to_o think_v it_o it_o be_v then_o a_o thing_n very_o manifest_a that_o he_o speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o of_o the_o work_v also_o of_o the_o moral_a

which_o be_v before_o mention_v namely_o that_o s._n paul_n when_o he_o exclude_v work_n from_o be_v any_o cause_n of_o justification_n in_o god_n sight_n mean_v it_o of_o work_n do_v before_o faith_n

that_o i_o also_o here_o once_o again_o make_v answer_n unto_o it_o first_o therefore_o it_o may_v suffice_v to_o call_v to_o your_o remembrance_n that_o which_o have_v be_v speak_v concern_v those_o

of_o david_n 4.6_o that_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n so_o that_o neither_o the_o work_n which_o david_n do_v nor_o the_o work_n which_o abraham_n do_v nor_o consequent_o the_o work_n that_o any_o other_o godly_a or_o holy_a man_n do_v after_o grace_n and_o faith_n receive_v be_v sufficient_a to_o justify_v in_o god_n presence_n for_o i_o know_v nothing_o by_o myself_o say_v

13.17_o with_o one_o consent_n submit_v or_o give_v their_o kingdom_n unto_o the_o beast_n until_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v fulfil_v yea_o these_o king_n not_o only_o submit_v themselves_o and_o their_o kingdom_n to_o this_o supremacy_n of_o the_o pope_n but_o to_o the_o adulterate_a religion_n likewise_o of_o that_o whore_n of_o babylon_n the_o papal_a city_n of_o rome_n to_o fulfil_v the_o like_a prophecy_n which_o say_v that_o with_o she_o have_v commit_v fornication_n the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n 14.8_o and_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o earth_n have_v be_v make_v drunken_a with_o the_o wine_n of_o her_o fornication_n inasmuch_o then_o as_o these_o thing_n be_v thus_o foretell_v in_o holy_a scripture_n to_o come_v to_o pass_v what_o marvel_n shall_v it_o now_o be_v to_o any_o

that_o ten_o of_o these_o king_n that_o be_v so_o long_o enchant_v and_o bewitch_v with_o this_o whore_n and_o seduce_v and_o abuse_v by_o she_o shall_v afterward_o discern_v and_o espy_v her_o

prophecy_n as_o it_o be_v already_o begin_v to_o be_v perform_v in_o some_o of_o these_o king_n which_o have_v fall_v from_o she_o hate_v and_o detest_a both_o her_o authority_n and_o her_o adulterate_a religion_n so_o shall_v it_o in_o all_o the_o part_n and_o point_n of_o it_o in_o the_o due_a time_n appoint_v of_o god_n be_v full_o and_o actual_o perform_v and_o accomplish_v the_o

and_o of_o long_a continuance_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o do_v not_o that_o make_v they_o therefore_o to_o be_v ever_o the_o more_o lawful_a or_o allowable_a yea_o the_o long_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n and_o his_o adulterate_a religion_n have_v continue_v the_o great_a wrong_a and_o injury_n have_v be_v do_v all_o that_o while_n not_o only_o to_o all_o other_o bishop_n in_o the_o world_n and_o to_o all_o emperor_n king_n and_o prince_n likewise_o but_o also_o to_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o religion_n of_o god_n and_o even_o to_o god_n himself_o and_o therefore_o this_o make_v not_o for_o the_o uphold_v or_o confirmation_n but_o for_o the_o further_o and_o great_a detestation_n and_o condemnation_n of_o they_o both_o 2_o so_o that_o no_o sufficient_a cause_n or_o reason_n can_v any_o
