fin_n against_o the_o holy-ghost_n shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v but_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o world_n to_o come_v can_v be_v purgatory_n for_o they_o say_v that_o purgatory_n be_v now_o already_o but_o by_o this_o world_n to_o come_v be_v true_o mean_v the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o our_o saviour_n meaning_n be_v that_o he_o that_o sin_v against_o the_o holy-ghost_n shall_v be_v punish_v both_o in_o this_o life_n and_o also_o after_o this_o life_n eternal_o in_o hell-sire_n likewise_o to_o that_o in_o the_o 3d._o chapter_n of_o the_o 1._o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n where_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o gold_n wood_n precious_a stone_n hay_n stubble_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v also_o a_o allegorical_a speech_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o the_o torment_n of_o the_o soul_n after_o death_n so_o then_o we_o see_v plain_o that_o this_o their_o purgatory_n be_v but_o imaginary_a and_o and_o can_v be_v prove_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n wherein_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o any_o mention_n make_v thereof_o only_o forge_v by_o they_o to_o maintain_v and_o uphold_v the_o pope_n dignity_n who_o by_o this_o invention_n find_v quick_a sale_n for_o his_o pardon_n and_o indulgence_n chap._n ix_o of_o merit_n and_o justification_n by_o work_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n teach_v that_o a_o man_n by_o his_o good_a work_n may_v merit_v eternal_a salvation_n and_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o thereupon_o to_o make_v the_o protestant_a religion_n seem_v the_o more_o odious_a they_o lay_v to_o our_o charge_n that_o we_o teach_v that_o good_a work_n be_v altogether_o unprofitable_a and_o no_o way_n conduce_v to_o salvation_n and_o that_o it_o be_v faith_n alone_o that_o justifi_v without_o any_o need_n at_o all_o of_o perform_v any_o other_o duty_n of_o christianity_n a_o abominable_a doctrine_n it_o be_v indeed_o and_o worthy_a of_o most_o severe_a punishment_n as_o abolish_n all_o honesty_n and_o virtue_n and_o set_v loose_a the_o reins_n to_o all_o manner_n of_o wickedness_n and_o impiety_n to_o the_o contrary_n we_o of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n purge_v from_o popery_n hold_v that_o good_a work_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o obtain_v everlasting_a life_n that_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a and_o can_v justify_v that_o good_a work_n serve_v to_o glorify_v god_n to_o edify_v our_o brethren_n and_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o eternal_a salvation_n only_o we_o deny_v that_o good_a work_n can_v merit_v salvation_n they_o be_v the_o way_n indeed_o whereby_o we_o come_v to_o everlasting_a happiness_n but_o not_o the_o price_n whereby_o we_o purchase_v it_o which_o be_v already_o sufficient_o purchase_v by_o the_o free_a redemption_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n jesus_n we_o say_v moreover_o that_o although_o faith_n alone_o and_o without_o good_a work_n can_v justify_v yet_o faith_n have_v the_o propriety_n to_o justify_v we_o before_o god_n as_o the_o eye_n can_v see_v without_o the_o help_n of_o the_o ear_n and_o yet_o the_o eye_n alone_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o see_v now_o that_o we_o can_v merit_v any_o thing_n at_o god_n hand_n i_o shall_v plain_o prove_v by_o these_o five_o reason_n follow_v first_o because_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v any_o good_a work_n whatsoever_o we_o do_v as_o our_o saviour_n himself_o tell_v we_o luk._n 17._o when_o you_o shall_v have_v do_v all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v say_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n we_o have_v do_v all_o that_o which_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v second_o the_o good_a which_o we_o do_v come_v from_o god_n and_o consequent_o can_v merit_v any_o thing_n for_o we_o at_o god_n hand_n for_o we_o do_v but_o give_v he_o that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o already_o three_o our_o good_a work_n profit_v he_o nothing_o he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o our_o service_n although_o we_o have_v great_a need_n of_o his_o grace_n four_o our_o good_a work_n at_o the_o best_a be_v but_o imperfect_a and_o have_v always_o some_o infirmity_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o they_o five_o and_o last_o there_o be_v no_o proportion_n at_o all_o betwixt_o our_o good_a work_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o gain_v such_o a_o excellent_a purchase_n there_o need_v a_o price_n infinite_o excellent_a such_o as_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n jesus_n likewise_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o eternal_a life_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o not_o to_o be_v purchase_v by_o man_n merit_n as_o the_o apostle_n witness_v in_o the_o 6_o h_o chapter_n of_o rom._n the_o wage_n of_o sin_n say_v he_o be_v death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n and_o ephesian_n the_o 2_o chapter_n by_o grace_n we_o be_v save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v wherefore_o god_n call_v we_o his_o child_n and_o by_o consequent_a heir_n rom._n 8._o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o we_o can_v lay_v no_o right_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o a_o purchase_n which_o we_o have_v merit_v by_o good_a work_n but_o as_o child_n and_o in_o jesus_n christ_n lawful_a heir_n hereunto_o sure_o than_o those_o that_o go_v about_o to_o purchase_v eternal_a salvation_n in_o a_o mercenary_a way_n by_o their_o own_o merit_n renounce_v the_o title_n of_o be_v god_n child_n and_o consequent_o lose_v their_o labour_n some_o there_o be_v who_o to_o sweeten_v this_o their_o hodgepodge_n say_v that_o we_o merit_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n who_o give_v we_o grace_n to_o merit_v a_o tenet_n altogether_o as_o false_a as_o hypocritical_a and_o absurd_a for_o the_o chief_a and_o principal_a cause_n why_o our_o good_a work_n be_v not_o meritorious_a be_v because_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o pray_v what_o do_v that_o man_n merit_n of_o i_o that_o give_v i_o that_o which_o be_v my_o own_o already_o i_o confess_v indeed_o that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o god_n do_v recompense_v our_o good_a work_n and_o that_o our_o reward_n be_v great_a in_o heaven_n and_o that_o even_o for_o a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n we_o shall_v not_o lose_v our_o reward_n but_o this_o reward_n be_v no_o way_n merit_v by_o we_o as_o a_o father_n give_v his_o child_n some_o reward_n it_o may_v be_v for_o write_v a_o line_n or_o two_o out_o of_o a_o copy_n or_o such_o like_a which_o he_o do_v not_o because_o the_o work_n deserve_v it_o but_o because_o it_o be_v his_o child_n so_o god_n accept_v of_o we_o free_o in_o christ_n jesus_n not_o for_o our_o work_n sake_n but_o reward_v our_o work_n though_o never_o so_o imperfect_a and_o unworthy_a only_o because_o we_o be_v his_o child_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n then_o if_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n profess_v that_o they_o doubt_v of_o their_o salvation_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o build_v a_o steadfast_a assurance_n thereof_o on_o so_o weak_a a_o foundation_n as_o our_o own_o merit_n whereas_o indeed_o we_o ought_v to_o ground_v it_o only_o on_o the_o immovable_a foundation_n of_o god_n promise_n in_o christ_n jesus_n let_v we_o conclude_v then_o with_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n in_o the_o 3_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n through_o the_o redemption_n that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n i_o do_v not_o say_v but_o that_o before_o man_n we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n that_o be_v to_o say_v know_v to_o be_v just_a for_o man_n can_v judge_v of_o our_o faith_n because_o they_o can_v discern_v it_o and_o thus_o saint_n james_n chap._n 2._o teach_v that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n but_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o that_o mean_n before_o god_n as_o saint_n paul_n teach_v in_o the_o 4_o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n if_o abraham_n say_v he_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n he_o have_v whereof_o to_o glory_v but_o not_o before_o god_n hear_v likewise_o what_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o 2_o chapter_n to_o the_o galathian_o verse_n the_o 16_o we_o have_v believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n for_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v and_o in_o the_o 2_o tim._n chap._n 1._o god_n have_v save_v we_o and_o call_v we_o
