if_o it_o be_v christ_n work_n to_o act_v all_o the_o good_a in_o the_o creature_n and_o so_o few_o do_v well_o than_o he_o do_v intend_v the_o rest_n shall_v do_v ill_a because_o you_o say_v it_o

be_v punish_v for_o christ_n not_o act_v faith_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o weak_a this_o tenet_n of_o they_o be_v that_o hold_v it_o be_v christ_n work_n to_o act_v faith_n and_o not_o the_o creature_n and_o so_o lie_v all_o the_o unbeleef_n in_o the_o world_n upon_o the_o back_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o will_v make_v he_o stand_v at_o the_o bar_n of_o justice_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o unbeleef_n in_o the_o world_n and_o now_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o shall_v prove_v that_o it_o be_v the_o creature_n work_v to_o believe_v for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o he_o give_v the_o creature_n ability_n to_o believe_v for_o he_o make_v he_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o give_v he_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n to_o do_v such_o a_o work_n as_o he_o require_v of_o he_o for_o if_o he_o shall_v require_v the_o creature_n to_o do_v such_o a_o work_n as_o he_o know_v the_o creature_n be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v it_o be_v unreasonable_a to_o require_v it_o because_o he_o know_v the_o creature_n be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v it_o but_o he_o every_o where_o condemn_v the_o creature_n for_o not_o do_v good_a and_o therefore_o it_o do_v appear_v he_o give_v the_o creature_n ability_n to_o do_v good_a and_o that_o i_o shall_v prove_v for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o he_o give_v the_o creature_n free_a choice_n as_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n as_o i_o have_v set_v before_o you_o life_n and_o death_n choose_v you_o which_o you_o will_v as_o you_o may_v see_v deut._n 30._o 19_o and_o choose_v you_o who_o you_o will_v serve_v

because_o they_o hate_v knowledge_n and_o do_v not_o choose_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o prov._n 1._o 28._o 29._o and_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o lord_n put_v the_o creature_n to_o his_o

else_o if_o the_o creature_n have_v not_o ability_n why_o do_v the_o lord_n condemn_v the_o creature_n for_o not_o choose_v good_a and_o christ_n say_v mary_n have_v choose_v the_o better_a part_n and_o his_o servant_n you_o be_v to_o who_o you_o obey_v whereby_o it_o do_v appear_v they_o have_v ability_n to_o obey_v either_o good_a or_o evil_a for_o if_o they_o have_v not_o ability_n when_o they_o do_v evil_a to_o do_v good_a then_o how_o can_v they_o be_v condemn_v for_o not_o do_v good_a see_v they_o have_v not_o ability_n to_o do_v otherwise_o 2._o he_o give_v the_o creature_n

he_o do_v and_o seal_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o father_n with_o his_o blood_n and_o do_v his_o work_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v if_o you_o keep_v my_o commandment_n you_o shall_v abide_v in_o
