if_o he_o shall_v fall_v down_o and_o say_v pardon_v i_o my_o lord_n the_o king_n who_o can_v lay_v folly_n to_o his_o charge_n so_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o free_a pardon_n of_o sin_n at_o his_o

this_o objection_n indirect_o by_o propound_v one_o question_n whether_o thou_o think_v that_o thy_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n can_v obtain_v or_o procure_v the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o say_v no_o then_o why_o do_v thou_o make_v this_o objection_n if_o thou_o say_v yea_o than_o i_o demand_v who_o shall_v give_v thou_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n shall_v thou_o expect_v they_o from_o any_o other_o then_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o love_a god_n second_o i_o answer_v direct_o by_o show_v thou_o the_o true_a office_n of_o faith_n although_o faith_n do_v not_o procure_v god_n love_n and_o favour_n yet_o be_v it_o to_o very_o good_a purpose_n and_o exceed_v precious_a that_o you_o may_v know_v the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o be_v seal_v with_o the_o holy_a

as_o may_v serve_v to_o answer_v the_o present_a objection_n but_o second_o to_o what_o purpose_n serve_v our_o good_a work_n i_o answer_v to_o very_o good_a purpose_n also_o namely_o to_o express_v

of_o your_o faith_n and_o work_v because_o we_o say_v that_o god_n love_v we_o as_o well_o before_o conversion_n as_o after_o do_v we_o therefore_o make_v faith_n and_o work_v void_a god_n forbid_v
