papist_n any_o who_o be_v not_o wilful_o blind_a may_v see_v it_o who_o know_v their_o doctrine_n and_o we_o in_o this_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n wrought_v in_o we_o nor_o the_o work_n which_o we_o work_v in_o his_o spirit_n and_o power_n that_o we_o rest_n and_o rely_v upon_o as_o the_o ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o our_o justification_n but_o it_o be_v christ_n

deny_v by_o they_o and_o dispute_v against_o particular_o by_o bellarmine_n and_o christ_n jesus_n himself_o be_v both_o first_o and_o last_o our_o justification_n and_o foundation_n of_o it_o and_o as_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a for_o it_o and_o so_o we_o may_v not_o deny_v it_o but_o plead_v for_o it_o according_a to_o the_o true_a sense_n and_o mind_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o we_o be_v teach_v of_o he_o but_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o he_o be_v more_o than_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o therefore_o be_v we_o justify_v in_o our_o work_n which_o we_o work_v in_o he_o because_o we_o be_v in_o he_o and_o work_v they_o in_o he_o and_o because_o the_o lord_n accept_v and_o justify_v we_o in_o he_o therefore_o he_o accept_v and_o justify_v our_o work_n wrought_v in_o he_o and_o accept_v and_o justify_v we_o in_o relation_n to_o these_o work_n and_o though_o it_o have_v be_v say_v by_o we_o that_o good_a work_n which_o be_v wrought_v in_o christ_n and_o be_v rather_o his_o than_o we_o be_v meritorious_a yet_o we_o understand_v it_o not_o any_o otherways_o then_o thus_o that_o all_o their_o merit_n or_o worth_n be_v from_o christ_n and_o see_v they_o be_v say_v in_o scripture_n to_o have_v their_o reward_n and_o reward_v and_o merit_n be_v relative_a term_n infer_v one_o another_o in_o that_o sense_n wherein_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v reward_v they_o may_v also_o be_v say_v to_o be_v meritorious_a which_o yet_o hinder_v not_o the_o freedom_n of_o god_n grace_n in_o justification_n for_o we_o do_v very_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o both_o the_o work_v and_o the_o reward_n be_v of_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n give_v we_o all_o thing_n not_o of_o debt_n or_o as_o be_v in_o our_o debt_n but_o of_o free_a gift_n and_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o wisdom_n have_v see_v it_o meet_v to_o promise_v a_o reward_n to_o good_a work_n and_o so_o he_o do_v reward_v they_o because_o of_o his_o goodness_n and_o faithfulness_n and_o not_o because_o he_o be_v addebt_v unto_o any_o of_o we_o otherwise_o then_o as_o he_o have_v bind_v himself_o by_o his_o promise_n and_o this_o be_v contrary_n to_o that_o ●alse_a popish_a doctrine_n which_o affirm_v that_o man_n deserve_v a_o reward_n from_o god_n for_o good_a work_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o strict_a justice_n without_o respect_n to_o the_o promise_n and_o if_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o all_o papist_n do_v not_o say_v so_o but_o be_v more_o moderate_a well_o then_o i_o say_v if_o some_o of_o they_o be_v moderate_a and_o pass_v from_o the_o erroneous_a opinion_n of_o popery_n and_o speak_v that_o which_o be_v true_a if_o other_o speak_v what_o be_v true_a also_o in_o that_o particular_a shall_v the_o truth_n be_v accuse_v and_o condemn_v for_o rank_a popery_n because_o some_o papist_n at_o time_n confess_v to_o it_o you_o your_o selus_fw-la know_v that_o papist_n contradict_v one_o another_o in_o divers_a thing_n and_o where_o man_n direct_o contradict_v one_o another_o one_o of_o the_o side_n must_v speak_v true_a but_o as_o to_o that_o wherein_o the_o justification_n stand_v and_o on_o which_o it_o be_v ground_v to_o wit_n christ_n himself_o as_o in_o dwell_v in_o the_o saint_n none_o of_o all_o the_o papist_n for_o aught_o we_o ever_o hear_v or_o read_v do_v own_o it_o but_o be_v against_o it_o again_o as_o to_o the_o work_n by_o which_o the_o papist_n seek_v to_o be_v justify_v they_o be_v such_o as_o we_o believe_v none_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o viz._n their_o outward_a observation_n their_o invocation_n of_o saint_n bow_v to_o image_n say_v ave_fw-la mary_n tell_v their_o bead_n their_o pilgrimage_n their_o whip_a themselves_o their_o keep_n lend_v and_o many_o other_o such_o like_a work_n of_o voluntary_a humility_n by_o which_o they_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v though_o they_o be_v evil_a work_n as_o not_o do_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o power_n of_o god_n nor_o do_v it_o serve_v thy_o turn_n to_o say_v that_o papist_n think_v not_o that_o work_v consider_v as_o evil_a and_o sinful_a be_v sufficient_a to_o justify_v they_o for_o that_o be_v not_o the_o question_n whether_o the_o papist_n think_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n sinful_a and_o evil_a but_o this_o be_v the_o question_n whether_o the_o papist_n think_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_v which_o be_v real_o sinful_a and_o evil_a however_o they_o may_v imagine_v they_o to_o be_v good_a and_o herein_o i_o say_v we_o differ_v vast_o from_o papist_n they_o think_v and_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o such_o work_v as_o be_v evil_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n whereas_o we_o believe_v that_o by_o no_o such_o work_n can_v any_o man_n be_v justify_v other_o weighty_a difference_n can_v be_v show_v in_o relation_n to_o this_o matter_n but_o what_o be_v here_o in_o short_a declare_v may_v suffice_v to_o evince_v that_o we_o differ_v wide_o from_o the_o papist_n concern_v justification_n three_o look_n how_o near_o a_o kin_n you_o be_v to_o papist_n as_o in_o many_o other_o thing_n so_o in_o these_o relate_v to_o justification_n first_o do_v you_o not_o say_v that_o you_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o christ_n in_o dwell_v in_o you_o so_o say_v the_o papist_n second_o do_v you_o not_o say_v that_o the_o way_n to_o attain_v to_o a_o state_n of_o justification_n be_v not_o by_o believe_v in_o the_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v in_o every_o man_n and_o in_o the_o light_n where_o with_o christ_n have_v enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o so_o say_v the_o papist_n who_o though_o they_o talk_v of_o universal_a grace_n yet_o they_o deny_v that_o this_o universal_a grace_n be_v a_o evangelicall_n principle_n of_o light_n by_o believe_v in_o which_o man_n can_v attain_v unto_o a_o state_n of_o justification_n immediate_o 3._o do_v you_o not_o say_v that_o god_n act_n of_o justification_n be_v not_o a_o immediate_a testimony_n of_o his_o spirit_n declare_v or_o pronounce_v man_n righteous_a and_o so_o say_v the_o papist_n 4._o do_v you_o not_o say_v that_o man_n be_v not_o to_o know_v their_o justification_n or_o that_o they_o be_v in_o a_o justify_v state_n by_o a_o immediate_a testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o they_o by_o way_n of_o object_n for_o this_o be_v to_o assert_v immediate_a revelation_n so_o do_v the_o papist_n so_o by_o these_o few_o instance_n give_v here_o and_o by_o many_o other_o instance_n give_v by_o other_o in_o other_o particular_n try_v your_o selus_fw-la and_o first_o clear_a your_o selus_fw-la of_o popery_n before_o you_o or_o thou_o do_v throw_v it_o upon_o we_o now_o where_o as_o thou_o allege_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n exclud_v all_o work_n even_o those_o of_o christ_n his_o work_n in_o the_o saint_n and_o which_o they_o work_v in_o he_o it_o be_v false_a nor_o do_v the_o scripture_n cite_v by_o thou_o prove_v thy_o intent_n as_o rom._n 3._o 20_o gall_n 2._o 16._o tit._n 3._o 5._o thou_o say_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o work_n in_o general_a without_o any_o limitation_n but_o herein_o thou_o contradict_a the_o very_o express_a
