god_n have_v do_v no_o doubt_n many_o good_a work_n and_o offer_v many_o sacrifice_n unto_o god_n yet_o without_o respect_n unto_o any_o of_o his_o work_n that_o he_o now_o the_o child_n and_o

by_o the_o merit_n of_o this_o faith_n but_o in_o that_o it_o be_v our_o hand_n whereby_o we_o apprehend_v and_o hold_v fast_o that_o justification_n which_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n through_o the_o unspeakable_a mercy_n of_o god_n and_o this_o our_o doctrine_n be_v so_o warrant_v in_o sacred_a scripture_n as_o nothing_o more_o saint_n paul_n do_v often_o use_v exclusive_a word_n equivalent_a

they_o in_o any_o their_o book_n or_o write_n seek_v to_o match_v any_o thing_n with_o faith_n as_o cause_v of_o justification_n but_o work_v only_o but_o work_n be_v not_o to_o be_v join_v with_o faith_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n as_o the_o apostle_n most_o plain_o prove_v 2.16_o gal._n 2.16_o know_v you_o that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n
