it_o be_v good_a and_o comfortable_a but_o it_o may_v save_v some_o man_n and_o yet_o i_o have_v no_o share_n nor_o part_n in_o salvation_n i_o answer_v ans._n it_o be_v free_o give_v to_o we_o even_o

what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o god_n will_v have_v it_o communicate_v to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n no_o other_o way_n but_o by_o gift_n 4.5_o you_o shall_v see_v it_o rom._n 4.5_o that_o it_o be_v for_o these_o cause_n first_o that_o no_o man_n may_v boast_v in_o himself_o but_o that_o he_o that_o rejoice_v may_v rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n if_o any_o other_o bargain_n or_o manner_n of_o

when_o you_o hear_v this_o righteousness_n be_v give_v the_o next_o question_n will_v be_v to_o who_o be_v it_o give_v if_o it_o be_v only_o give_v to_o some_o what_o comfort_n be_v this_o to_o i_o

man_n under_o heaven_n without_o any_o restraint_n at_o all_o why_o shall_v any_o except_v himself_o indeed_o when_o christ_n be_v offer_v free_o to_o every_o man_n and_o one_o receive_v he_o another_o reject_v he_o than_o the_o mystery_n of_o election_n and_o reprobation_n be_v reveal_v the_o reason_n why_o some_o receive_v he_o be_v because_o god_n give_v they_o a_o heart_n which_o to_o the_o rest_n he_o give_v not_o but_o in_o point_n of_o offer_v of_o christ_n we_o must_v be_v general_a without_o have_v respect_n to_o election_n for_o otherwise_o the_o elect_a of_o christ_n shall_v have_v no_o ground_n for_o their_o faith_n none_o know_v he_o be_v elect_v until_o he_o have_v believe_v and_o repent_v but_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v offer_v to_o man_n in_o state_n of_o unregeneration_n how_o shall_v i_o know_v it_o belong_v to_o i_o there_o be_v no_o other_o ground_n but_o this_o syllogism_n this_o righteousness_n belong_v to_o every_o man_n that_o believe_v but_o i_o believe_v therefore_o it_o belong_v to_o i_o therefore_o though_o it_o be_v apply_v only_o to_o the_o believer_n yet_o it_o must_v be_v offer_v to_o every_o man_n 2._o again_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v true_a before_o we_o can_v believe_v our_o share_n in_o it_o we_o do_v not_o therefore_o make_v it_o true_a because_o we_o believe_v but_o our_o believe_v presuppose_v the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n which_o be_v this_o that_o christ_n be_v give_v now_o the_o very_a believe_v do_v not_o cause_n christ_n to_o be_v give_v but_o he_o be_v give_v and_o therefore_o we_o believe_v in_o all_o action_n the_o object_n be_v in_o order_n of_o nature_n before_o the_o action_n itself_o my_o belief_n make_v not_o a_o thing_n true_a but_o it_o be_v true_a in_o itself_o and_o therefore_o i_o believe_v it_o it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n be_v offer_v to_o all_o man_n therefore_o i_o believe_v that_o i_o be_o reconcile_v and_o adopt_v and_o that_o my_o sin_n be_v forgive_v again_o 3._o if_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v offer_v to_o every_o man_n we_o can_v not_o say_v to_o every_o man_n if_o thou_o do_v believe_v thou_o shall_v be_v save_v but_o this_o we_o may_v say_v to_o all_o even_o to_o judas_n if_o thou_o believe_v judas_n thou_o shall_v be_v save_v again_o 4._o if_o it_o be_v not_o offer_v to_o all_o then_o wicked_a man_n shall_v be_v exclude_v as_o much_o as_o the_o devil_n but_o christ_n take_v their_o nature_n on_o he_o therefore_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o if_o they_o believe_v to_o be_v save_v but_o how_o differ_v this_o from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o adversary_n object_n for_o they_o also_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v offer_v equal_o to_o all_o i_o answer_v ans._n in_o 2_o respect_n not_o to_o run_v through_o all_o the_o first_o be_v this_o we_o say_v though_o christ_n be_v offer_v and_o free_o give_v to_o all_o yet_o god_n intend_v he_o only_o to_o the_o elect._n they_o say_v his_o intention_n be_v the_o same_o to_o all_o to_o judas_n as_o to_o peter_n the_o other_o be_v they_o affirm_v that_o as_o christ_n be_v offer_v to_o all_o man_n
the_o give_v up_o of_o a_o man_n self_n to_o christ_n and_o make_v a_o public_a testimony_n of_o it_o although_o there_o be_v something_o more_o mean_v general_o by_o baptise_v but_o here_o it_o be_v mean_v a_o justification_n to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o we_o have_v take_v christ_n now_o every_o one_o that_o will_v believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v that_o be_v every_o one_o that_o will_v do_v this_o shall_v be_v save_v so_o that_o a_o man_n must_v first_o take_v christ_n himself_o and_o then_o he_o may_v do_v as_o the_o wife_n after_o she_o have_v her_o husband_n she_o may_v think_v of_o all_o the_o benefit_n she_o have_v by_o he_o and_o may_v take_v they_o and_o use_v they_o as_o her_o own_o this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n the_o second_o thing_n that_o i_o promise_v faith_n be_v to_o show_v you_o the_o subject_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o be_v the_o whole_a heart_n of_o man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o name_v it_o distinct_o both_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o will_v now_o to_o show_v you_o that_o both_o these_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o faith_n you_o must_v know_v that_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v require_v first_o understanding_n on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o understanding_n it_o be_v require_v that_o it_o believe_v that_o be_v that_o it_o conceive_v and_o apprehend_v what_o god_n have_v reveal_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o here_o a_o act_n of_o god_n must_v come_v in_o put_v a_o light_n into_o the_o understanding_n for_o my_o belove_a faith_n be_v but_o a_o addition_n of_o a_o new_a light_n to_o reason_n that_o whereas_o reason_n be_v purblind_a faith_n come_v and_o give_v a_o new_a light_n and_o make_v we_o see_v the_o thing_n reveal_v by_o god_n which_o reason_n can_v do_v by_o faith_n we_o apprehend_v these_o great_a and_o glorious_a mystery_n which_o otherwise_o we_o can_v not_o apprehend_v as_o we_o see_v it_o express_v in_o 2_o cor._n 4._o 4._o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n have_v blind_v their_o eye_n that_o the_o light_n shall_v not_o shine_v into_o their_o heart_n by_o which_o they_o shall_v believe_v this_o glorious_a gospel_n so_o then_o there_o must_v be_v a_o light_n put_v into_o the_o mind_n that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v able_a by_o that_o to_o elevate_v and_o raise_v his_o reason_n to_o believe_v this_o that_o be_v to_o conceive_v and_o to_o apprehend_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v offer_v and_o tender_v in_o the_o gospel_n will_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o there_o be_v a_o act_n also_o of_o the_o will_v require_v which_o be_v to_o take_v and_o receive_v christ_n for_o this_o take_n be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o will_n therefore_o there_o must_v be_v a_o consent_n as_o well_o as_o a_o assent_n now_o it_o be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n to_o assent_v to_o the_o truth_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o promise_n wherein_o christ_n be_v offer_v but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o there_o be_v also_o a_o act_n of_o will_n requisite_a to_o consent_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v to_o embrace_v they_o to_o take_v they_o and_o to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o they_o and_o to_o apply_v they_o to_o a_o man_n self_n this_o i_o will_v the_o rather_o clear_v because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n controvert_v i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o double_a act_n a_o act_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o a_o act_n of_o the_o will_v to_o this_o purpose_n consider_v that_o in_o rom._n 5_o 17._o 5.17_o for_o if_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o death_n reign_v by_o one_o much_o more_o they_o which_o receive_v abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n shall_v reign_v in_o life_n by_o one_o jesus_n christ._n mark_v it_o you_o may_v see_v what_o faith_n be_v in_o those_o word_n those_o that_o receive_v the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n righteousness_n be_v give_v and_o offer_v by_o god_n and_o those_o that_o receive_v that_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n shall_v reign_v in_o life_n so_o that_o take_v and_o receive_v be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o will_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o will_n must_v come_v in_o to_o this_o work_n as_o well_o as_o the_o understanding_n like_o unto_o this_o be_v that_o 1_o joh._n 12._o 1.12_o to_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o etc._n etc._n that_o be_v to_o as_o many_o

the_o will_n when_o the_o will_n be_v resolve_v to_o take_v he_o be_v so_o apprehend_v as_o he_o have_v be_v describe_v as_o a_o lord_n and_o as_o a_o saviour_n this_o be_v faith_n this_o i_o say_v be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o will_n because_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o receive_v jo●_a 5.44_o it_o be_v evident_a how_o can_v that_o believe_v which_o receive_v honour_v one_o of_o another_o &_o c_o if_o believe_v in_o christ_n be_v only_o a_o act_n of_o the_o mind_n as_o the_o papist_n affirm_v and_o some_o other_o beside_o it_o believe_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o assent_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n how_o can_v the_o praise_n of_o man_n be_v opposite_a to_o believe_v but_o the_o meaning_n be_v how_o can_v you_o believe_v &_o take_v i_o for_o your_o husband_n and_o yet_o seek_v praise_n of_o man_n too_o for_o that_o will_v come_v in_o competition_n with_o i_o and_o then_o you_o will_v forsake_v i_o i_o say_v this_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o justify_v faith_n be_v not_o only_o a_o act_n of_o the_o mind_n but_o a_o act_n of_o the_o will_v also_o because_o otherwise_o the_o seek_v praise_n with_o man_n can_v be_v no_o

he_o raise_v it_o up_o to_o see_v and_o believe_v these_o truth_n so_o there_o be_v another_o act_n which_o god_n also_o work_v on_o the_o will_n and_o unless_o he_o work_v it_o it_o be_v not_o do_v for_o come_v to_o any_o man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o ask_v he_o will_v you_o be_v content_a to_o take_v christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o receive_v he_o in_o that_o

god_n come_v and_o draw_v a_o man_n and_o change_v his_o will_n the_o work_n be_v not_o do_v if_o you_o take_v a_o bough_n and_o offer_v it_o to_o a_o swine_n or_o a_o wolf_n they_o will_v refuse_v

our_o will_n another_o way_n which_o be_v the_o draw_v the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o than_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o take_v christ._n if_o you_o take_v other_o metal_n than_o iron_n the_o loadstone_n will_v not_o stir_v it_o but_o turn_v the_o metal_n into_o iron_n and_o it_o will_v follow_v the_o loadstone_n so_o let_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n continue_v in_o that_o condition_n wherein_o they_o be_v by_o nature_n and_o they_o will_v never_o take_v christ_n they_o will_v never_o accept_v he_o but_o when_o god_n put_v into_o they_o such_o a_o strong_a and_o impetuous_a instigation_n and_o

how_o do_v it_o save_v save_v i_o answer_v 1._o this_o righteousness_n save_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o the_o unrighteousness_n of_o adam_n do_v condemn_v let_v we_o set_v these_o two_o together_o and_o the_o thing_n will_v be_v plain_a first_o 1._o as_o adam_n be_v one_o man_n yet_o the_o common_a root_n of_o all_o mankind_n of_o who_o all_o that_o be_v guilty_a of_o death_n and_o shall_v be_v damn_v must_v be_v bear_v so_o christ_n the_o second_o adam_n stands_z as_o a_o public_a person_n and_o the_o root_n of_o all_o that_o shall_v be_v ingraft_v into_o and_o bear_v of_o he_o second_o as_o adam_n first_o unrighteousness_n the_o first_o sin_n he_o commit_v be_v communicate_v to_o man_n and_o make_v they_o by_o imputation_n and_o not_o so_o only_o but_o by_o inherencie_n also_o for_o it_o have_v breed_v in_o they_o original_a sin_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o by_o the_o same_o equity_n the_o righteousness_n that_o christ_n wrought_v be_v make_v we_o by_o imputation_n and_o this_o imputative_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n work_v a_o righteousness_n which_o qualify_v the_o person_n and_o be_v inherent_a in_o us._n last_o as_o after_o this_o unrighteousness_n come_v death_n which_o rule_v and_o reign_v in_o we_o bring_v every_o thing_n into_o subjection_n so_o that_o all_o the_o comfort_n man_n possess_v be_v overcome_v in_o some_o

christ_n life_n reign_v over_o all_o and_o bring_v all_o into_o subjection_n to_o he_o that_o be_v it_o bring_v all_o the_o trouble_v man_n sustain_v all_o the_o enemy_n he_o have_v yea_o death_n and_o sin_n into_o subjection_n by_o degree_n in_o this_o life_n and_o after_o death_n perfect_o there_o be_v a_o comparison_n make_v in_o rom._n 5.14_o 5.14_o which_o you_o shall_v find_v more_o

christ_n be_v call_v the_o second_o adam_n now_o you_o do_v see_v the_o miserable_a fruit_n of_o adam_n fall_n you_o see_v by_o lamentable_a experience_n what_o original_a sin_n be_v and_o how_o much_o it_o have_v corrupt_v we_o why_o then_o shall_v you_o think_v it_o a_o strange_a thing_n that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v impute_v again_o death_n you_o see_v reign_v over_o all_o by_o one_o why_o then_o will_v not_o you_o believe_v that_o life_n shall_v reign_v over_o all_o man_n that_o be_v bring_v every_o enemy_n of_o we_o into_o subjection_n by_o the_o other_o for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o save_v as_o the_o unrighteousness_n of_o the_o other_o condemn_v 2._o another_o expression_n i_o find_v in_o 2_o cor._n 5.21_o 5.21_o as_o christ_n be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o who_o know_v no_o sin_n so_o be_v we_o make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o that_o be_v though_o christ_n be_v a_o man_n without_o sin_n in_o himself_o
shall_v be_v offer_v to_o they_o and_o nothing_o be_v require_v but_o receive_v of_o it_o this_o will_v not_o sink_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n by_o nature_n they_o think_v they_o must_v do_v something_o precedent_o or_o else_o this_o righteousness_n be_v not_o offer_v they_o but_o my_o belove_a we_o must_v learn_v to_o believe_v this_o and_o know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o sanctify_v we_o after_o he_o have_v justify_v us._n i_o confess_v it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o other_o thing_n there_o be_v still_o some_o action_n of_o our_o own_o require_v to_o gain_v this_o or_o that_o habit_n or_o ability_n as_o you_o see_v in_o natural_a thing_n there_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o habit_n that_o we_o get_v by_o some_o precedent_a action_n of_o our_o own_o habit_n as_o the_o learning_n of_o art_n and_o science_n to_o learn_v to_o write_v well_o etc._n etc._n here_o there_o be_v some_o action_n of_o our_o own_o require_v to_o fit_v we_o for_o it_o and_o then_o we_o get_v the_o ability_n to_o do_v it_o but_o beside_o these_o there_o be_v other_o habit_n that_o be_v plant_v by_o nature_n in_o we_o as_o a_o ability_n to_o hear_v to_o see_v to_o taste_v etc._n etc._n now_o for_o these_o we_o need_v not_o any_o action_n of_o our_o own_o for_o the_o attain_n of_o they_o because_o they_o be_v plant_v in_o we_o by_o nature_n so_o it_o be_v in_o these_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o salvation_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o we_o may_v get_v habit_n of_o moral_a virtue_n by_o labour_n and_o pain_n of_o our_o own_o there_o be_v action_n of_o our_o own_o require_v to_o they_o and_o in_o that_o the_o philosopher_n say_v right_a that_o we_o learn_v to_o be_v temperate_a and_o sober_a and_o chaste_a etc._n etc._n but_o now_o for_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o it_o be_v not_o so_o those_o habit_n that_o nature_n have_v plant_v in_o we_o we_o exercise_v they_o natural_o without_o do_v any_o action_n of_o our_o own_o to_o attain_v they_o as_o we_o do_v not_o by_o see_v oft_o learn_v to_o see_v but_o it_o be_v a_o faculty_n natural_o plant_v in_o we_o so_o it_o be_v in_o all_o the_o work_n that_o we_o must_v do_v which_o be_v the_o way_n to_o salvation_n god_n work_v they_o in_o we_o he_o infuse_v those_o habit_n into_o us._n therefore_o this_o conclusion_n be_v good_a that_o it_o be_v faith_n alone_o by_o which_o this_o righteousness_n be_v make_v we_o to_o salvation_n this_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o apostle_n gal._n 2._o ult._n say_v he_o it_o be_v not_o by_o the_o law_n if_o righteousness_n have_v be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n than_o christ_n have_v die_v without_o a_o cause_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v salvation_n must_v needs_o be_v by_o one_o of_o these_o two_o either_o by_o something_o that_o we_o do_v ourselves_o some_o action_n that_o we_o ourselves_o have_v wrought_v or_o else_o it_o must_v be_v mere_o by_o faith_n now_o if_o it_o have_v be_v attainable_a by_o any_o work_n of_o our_o own_o

yet_o have_v choose_v this_o way_n above_o all_o other_o to_o save_v man_n only_o by_o faith_n receive_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v for_o we_o you_o shall_v find_v these_o four_o reason_n for_o it_o in_o the_o scripture_n two_o of_o they_o be_v set_v down_o rom._n 4.16_o therefore_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v come_v by_o grace_n reason_n mark_v it_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v have_v it_o by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v be_v of_o grace_n for_o if_o any_o thing_n have_v be_v wrought_v by_o we_o as_o he_o say_v in_o

there_o have_v be_v any_o action_n of_o we_o require_v but_o mere_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o by_o faith_n it_o have_v not_o be_v mere_o of_o grace_n for_o faith_n empty_v a_o man_n it_o take_v a_o

free_a and_o to_o be_v altogether_o of_o grace_n for_o this_o cause_n god_n will_v have_v salvation_n propound_v to_o man_n to_o be_v receive_v by_o faith_n only_o second_o reason_n as_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v come_v by_o grace_n so_o also_o that_o it_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o promise_n may_v be_v sure_a if_o it_o have_v be_v any_o other_o way_n it_o have_v never_o be_v sure_a put_v the_o case_n that_o god_n have_v put_v we_o upon_o the_o condition_n of_o obedience_n and_o have_v give_v we_o grace_n and_o ability_n as_o he_o do_v to_o adam_n yet_o the_o law_n be_v strict_a and_o the_o least_o fail_a will_v have_v breed_v fear_n and_o doubt_n and_o will_v have_v cause_v death_n but_o now_o when_o the_o righteousness_n that_o save_v we_o be_v wrought_v already_o by_o god_n and_o offer_v to_o we_o by_o he_o and_o offer_v free_o and_o that_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o offer_n be_v the_o sure_a word_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o conjectural_a thing_n now_o we_o may_v build_v infallible_o upon_o it_o for_o unless_o faith_n have_v foot_v on_o the_o word_n we_o can_v say_v it_o be_v sure_a all_o thing_n else_o be_v mutable_a and_o subject_a to_o

reason_n three_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v be_v to_o all_o the_o seed_n not_o only_o to_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o also_o to_o they_o which_o be_v stranger_n to_o

gallat_n 5.6_o for_o in_o jesus_n christ_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o love_n in_o the_o four_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n the_o apostle_n affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o justification_n by_o the_o law_n for_o say_v he_o if_o you_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n you_o be_v fall_v from_o grace_n that_o be_v you_o can_v be_v partaker_n of_o that_o justification_n which_o be_v by_o grace_n because_o for_o to_o have_v it_o by_o the_o law_n and_o to_o have_v it_o by_o grace_n be_v opposite_a and_o he_o give_v a_o reason_n for_o it_o because_o say_v he_o through_o the_o spirit_n we_o wait_v for_o the_o hope_n of_o that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o the_o law_n when_o he_o have_v express_v himself_o so_o far_o which_o be_v the_o righteousness_n receive_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v free_o give_v by_o god_n offer_v to_o we_o wrought_v by_o christ_n but_o take_v by_o faith_n on_o our_o part_n thus_o say_v he_o you_o must_v be_v justify_v now_o to_o confirm_v this_o he_o give_v a_o reason_n in_o this_o verse_n that_o i_o have_v read_v for_o say_v he_o in_o christ_n jesus_n that_o be_v to_o put_v a_o man_n into_o christ_n jesus_n or_o to_o make_v he_o acceptable_a to_o god_n through_o christ_n jesus_n to_o do_v this_o neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n or_o uncircumcision_n that_o be_v neither_o the_o keep_n of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n or_o the_o omission_n of_o it_o nor_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n or_o the_o break_n of_o it_o will_v help_v to_o engraph_v a_o man_n into_o christ_n or_o to_o make_v he_o acceptable_a to_o god_n through_o christ_n what_o will_v do_v it_o then_o nothing_o say_v he_o but_o only_a faith_n now_o lest_o we_o shall_v be_v mistake_v in_o this_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v require_v nothing_o at_o their_o hand_n but_o a_o empty_a idle_a faith_n he_o add_v further_o it_o must_v be_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o be_v effectual_a as_o be_v work_v and_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o but_o it_o must_v be_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o work_n by_o love_n so_o that_o you_o have_v two_o part_n in_o this_o text_n one_o be_v a_o removal_n or_o a_o negation_n of_o that_o which_o do_v not_o engraph_v we_o into_o christ_n or_o that_o make_v we_o not_o acceptable_a to_o god_n through_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o be_v circumcise_a or_o uncircumcised_a or_o any_o thing_n of_o that_o nature_n the_o other_o be_v the_o affirmative_a part_n what_o be_v it_o that_o do_v it_o that_o make_v we_o in_o a_o glorious_a condition_n that_o make_v we_o son_n of_o god_n say_v he_o it_o be_v only_a faith_n and_o love_n it_o be_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o be_v accompany_v with_o love_n and_o good_a work_n so_o that_o you_o see_v he_o remove_v all_o work_n of_o we_o all_o work_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n circumcision_n be_v nothing_o it_o be_v as_o good_a as_o if_o you_o be_v not_o circumcise_v it_o be_v all_o one_o and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o circumcision_n be_v exclude_v all_o other_o be_v and_o not_o only_a work_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n also_o consider_v as_o the_o mean_n of_o justification_n because_o they_o be_v opposite_a to_o faith_n they_o exclude_v faith_n and_o faith_n exclude_v they_o so_o as_o they_o be_v as_o well_o to_o be_v shut_v out_o as_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n none_o of_o these_o say_v the_o apostle_n will_v do_v it_o for_o you_o must_v know_v the_o way_n to_o salvation_n be_v contrary_a to_o that_o of_o damnation_n look_v how_o you_o lose_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n so_o you_o must_v get_v it_o look_v what_o gate_n you_o go_v out_o at_o by_o the_o same_o gate_n as_o it_o be_v you_o must_v come_v in_o at_o what_o be_v it_o that_o lose_v all_o mankind_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n you_o know_v it_o be_v not_o our_o particular_a breach_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n but_o it_o be_v the_o fall_n of_o adam_n and_o when_o the_o root_n be_v dead_a you_o know_v all_o the_o branch_n die_v with_o it_o well_o what_o way_n be_v there_o then_o to_o regain_v this_o loss_n we_o must_v go_v in_o again_o into_o paradise_n by_o the_o same_o way_n that_o we_o go_v out_o that_o be_v by_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o second_o

be_v his_o child_n so_o you_o must_v partake_v of_o his_o righteousness_n again_o say_v the_o apostle_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n pleasure_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v save_v after_o this_o manner_n because_o he_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v of_o grace_n if_o you_o shall_v have_v be_v save_v by_o any_o work_n of_o your_o own_o you_o will_v have_v impute_v it_o to_o yourselves_o and_o to_o your_o

of_o the_o second_o adam_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v for_o you_o again_o he_o will_v have_v it_o sure_a to_o all_o your_o seed_n if_o it_o have_v be_v by_o work_n it_o will_v never_o have_v be_v

now_o it_o be_v sure_a or_o else_o it_o will_v never_o have_v be_v sure_a again_o if_o it_o have_v be_v by_o work_n the_o flesh_n have_v have_v wherein_o to_o rejoice_v it_o may_v have_v something_o to_o boast_v of_o but_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v no_o man_n to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o let_v he_o that_o rejoice_v rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n now_o if_o it_o have_v be_v by_o work_n

must_v be_v save_v be_v by_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n but_o you_o must_v remember_v that_o you_o must_v take_v he_o so_o as_o to_o love_v he_o and_o it_o must_v be_v
