there_o be_v some_o scripture_n which_o our_o adversary_n will_v cause_v to_o be_v see_v either_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n before_o rehearse_v for_o probation_n of_o this_o article_n of_o

principal_a of_o they_o and_o cause_v you_o understand_v by_o the_o same_o scripture_n they_o be_v neither_o contrary_n to_o his_o article_n nor_o yet_o have_v any_o entresse_n with_o faith_n in_o the_o make_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n just_a but_o follow_v faith_n as_o the_o due_a fruit_n thereof_o in_o the_o which_o the_o christian_a man_n shall_v live_v as_o say_v be_v before_o in_o the_o

and_o again_o you_o see_v say_v he_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v of_o work_n and_o not_o of_o faith_n only_o here_o the_o adversary_n of_o faith_n make_v a_o a_o great_a feast_n but_o they_o understande_v this_o say_n of_o the_o holy_a apostle_n as_o they_o do_v the_o other_o scripture_n ever_o work_v with_o the_o devil_n to_o make_v the_o holy_a spirit_n contrary_a to_o himself_o which_o be_v impossible_a epist._n but_o will_v you_o understand_v take_v heed_n and_o read_v the_o text_n you_o shall_v see_v clear_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o historical_a or_o idle_a faith_n that_o be_v dead_a without_o work_n to_o the_o confusion_n of_o the_o wicked_a christian_n which_o have_v no_o faith_n but_o in_o the_o mouth_n and_o not_o of_o the_o faith_n which_o make_v a_o man_n just_a before_o god_n and_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n by_o the_o same_o example_n and_o word_n that_o he_o rehearse_v for_o he_o say_v diligent_o the_o devil_n trow_v believe_v and_o dread_v but_o the_o devil_n can_v never_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v redeam_v he_o and_o purchase_v to_o he_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n remission_n of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a life_n which_o be_v the_o faith_n to_o who_o s._n paul_n ascrive_v justification_n only_o and_o also_o he_o reprove_v the_o evil_a christian_n which_o say_v he_o have_v faith_n and_o neglect_v the_o deed_n of_o charity_n in_o clothing_n of_o the_o naked_a and_o feed_v of_o the_o hungry_a which_o deed_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n of_o the_o which_o s._n p._n speak_v therefore_o there_o be_v no_o contrariety_n in_o the_o scripture_n before_o rehearse_v but_o concurrence_n and_o also_o the_o offering_n of_o isaac_n as_o mention_n be_v make_v before_o be_v do_v above_o thirty_o year_n after_o the_o justification_n

by_o the_o faithful_a long_o after_o their_o justification_n for_o faith_n only_o justifi_v before_o god_n as_o s._n p._n say_v without_o work_n only_o and_o work_v justify_v before_o man_n outward_o and_o declare_v a_o man_n just_a before_o his_o neighbour_n in_o exercise_v the_o deed_n of_o charity_n which_o be_v approve_v before_o god_n and_o acceptable_a to_o he_o in_o they_o which_o be_v

infer_v his_o work_n make_v he_o just_a or_o at_o the_o least_o provoke_v god_n to_o call_v he_o to_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v all_o one_o thing_n for_o if_o we_o by_o our_o deed_n may_v provoke_v god_n to_o love_v we_o or_o to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o through_o our_o merit_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n we_o may_v make_v ourselves_o just_a and_o so_o we_o need_v no_o other_o saviour_n but_o let_v christ_n death_n be_v in_o vain_a but_o my_o well-beloved_a brother_n you_o shall_v understand_v that_o god_n first_o love_v we_o &_o provoke_v we_o to_o love_v he_o we_o be_v sinner_n unworthy_a of_o love_n yea_o enemy_n also_o as_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n teach_v you_o io._n 1._o ep_v and_o 4._o chapter_n and_o in_o his_o evangell_n the_o 3._o chap._n and_o rom._n the_o 5._o

say_v there_o be_v a_o man_n name_v cornelius_n a_o captain_n etc._n etc._n a_o devout_a man_n &_o one_o that_o fear_v god_n withal_o his_o household_n which_o give_v great_a alm_n to_o the_o people_n

this_o man_n be_v faithful_a and_o just_a by_o the_o first_o two_o propriety_n by_o the_o which_o he_o be_v commend_v which_o can_v not_o stand_v without_o faith_n that_o be_v devout_a and_o fear_v

11._o with_o out_o faith_n cornelius_n worship_v god_n true_o and_o so_o please_v he_o therefore_o he_o be_v faithful_a he_o fear_v and_o dread_a god_n by_o love_n for_o that_o be_v the_o fear_n whereof_o the_o text_n speak_v therefore_o cornelius_n be_v faithful_a because_o that_o love_n can_v not_o be_v without_o faith_n the_o work_n which_o cornelius_n wrought_v be_v the_o fruit_n of_o
