life_n so_o pure_a and_o godly_a it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o his_o passion_n can_v neither_o have_v satisfy_v god_n wrath_n nor_o merit_a mercy_n for_o us._n for_o which_o cause_n the_o

way_n what_o the_o palpable_a blindness_n of_o the_o papist_n be_v in_o this_o clear_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n blindness_n popish_a blindness_n first_o they_o see_v not_o how_o nature_n be_v

dispute_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n yet_o they_o hold_v much_o on_o their_o side_n strive_v to_o defend_v that_o nature_n be_v in_o part_n good_a and_o holy_a so_o contend_v against_o the_o pure_a and_o only_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o to_o divide_v justification_n and_o justification_n the_o popish_a justification_n man_n salvation_n between_o christ_n and_o god_n free_a grace_n &_o the_o virtue_n and_o work_n of_o nature_n whereas_o notwithstanding_o these_o two_o nature_n and_o grace_n can_v never_o stand_v together_o in_o the_o work_n of_o our_o salvation_n for_o whosoever_o shall_v conjoin_v or_o make_v a_o mixture_n of_o grace_n and_o nature_n in_o this_o matter_n shall_v quite_o overthrow_v and_o extinguish_v grace_n which_o either_o be_v alone_o or_o not_o

he_o do_v purpose_o dispute_v against_o those_o jew_n which_o do_v couple_n together_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n the_o gift_n and_o work_n of_o nature_n with_o christ_n with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o with_o the_o gospel_n and_o these_o jew_n as_o i_o judge_v the_o papist_n seem_v most_o to_o resemble_v i_o mean_v those_o jew_n against_o who_o he_o write_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o galathian_o for_o in_o that_o other_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n he_o dispute_v against_o such_o jew_n as_o do_v open_o deny_v christ_n and_o reject_v he_o but_o to_o the_o galathian_o his_v disputation_n be_v against_o such_o jew_n as_o be_v not_o content_a with_o christ_n only_o but_o will_v have_v christ_n and_o the_o law_n join_v together_o thus_o far_o of_o the_o comparison_n between_o paul_n and_o we_o on_o the_o one_o side_n the_o old_a jew_n and_o the_o papist_n on_o the_o other_o now_o because_o it_o will_v be_v demand_v what_o paul_n think_v of_o the_o work_n of_o regeneration_n and_o what_o we_o and_o what_o the_o adversary_n think_v also_o therefore_o i_o will_v touch_v this_o question_n in_o few_o word_n here_o then_o some_o one_o will_v say_v do_v paul_n then_o in_o that_o disputation_n to_o the_o rom._n and_o to_o the_o galathian_o oppugn_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n and_o regeneration_n i_o answer_v paul_n chief_a purpose_n in_o that_o
