by_o the_o iiij_o chapter_n evident_o disprove_v for_o it_o be_v there_o plain_a that_o all_o the_o work_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n be_v as_o direct_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n as_o death_n unto_o

of_o righteousness_n which_o fruit_n be_v in_o you_o by_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o the_o glory_n &_o praise_v of_o god._n here_o in_o these_o word_n of_o paul_n we_o may_v learn_v the_o efficient_a cause_n the_o formal_a cause_n the_o material_a cause_n and_o the_o final_a cause_n of_o good_a work_n by_o which_o cause_n it_o do_v evident_o appear_v that_o before_o justification_n no_o good_a work_n can_v be_v wrought_v and_o that_o the_o end_n of_o good_a work_v be_v not_o to_o justify_v the_o doer_n of_o they_o but_o only_o to_o the_o glory_n and_o praise_n of_o god_n wherefore_o let_v we_o consider_v his_o word_n first_o in_o that_o he_o say_v that_o you_o may_v be_v pure_a and_o without_o offence_n he_o show_v what_o be_v the_o office_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n namely_o to_o labour_v for_o such_o pure_a and_o unspotted_a conversation_n as_o no_o offence_n may_v just_o be_v gather_v by_o the_o same_o he_o say_v moreover_o until_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n to_o show_v that_o the_o endeavour_n towards_o goodness_n must_v have_v continuance_n through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o the_o life_n have_v thus_o show_v both_o the_o office_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n and_o the_o term_n of_o his_o continuance_n in_o the_o execution_n thereof_o he_o go_v forward_o to_o show_v what_o furniture_n be_v necessary_a in_o he_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o office_n in_o say_v fill_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n here_o he_o show_v wherewith_o he_o must_v be_v fill_v that_o must_v be_v pure_a and_o without_o offence_n namely_o with_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n that_o be_v with_o good_a work_n and_o as_o he_o teach_v in_o these_o word_n that_o good_a work_n be_v the_o furniture_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n so_o do_v he_o also_o teach_v in_o the_o same_o word_n both_o the_o formal_a cause_n &_o the_o material_a cause_n of_o good_a work_v for_o in_o that_o he_o say_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n he_o show_v that_o righteousness_n or_o justification_n be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o they_o which_o as_o a_o good_a tree_n bring_v forth_o her_o good_a fruit_n he_o also_o show_v that_o the_o material_a cause_n of_o any_o good_a work_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n whereby_o it_o be_v clear_a than_o the_o sun_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n until_o the_o bringer_n forth_o thereof_o be_v transform_v into_o a_o tree_n of_o righteousness_n neither_o can_v the_o material_a cause_n have_v she_o be_v until_o first_o the_o formal_a cause_n be_v generate_v for_o the_o tree_n must_v be_v before_o the_o fruit_n and_o in_o this_o place_n do_v paul_n open_v the_o word_n of_o isaiah_n in_o the._n 61._o chapter_n where_o he_o say_v they_o shall_v be_v call_v tree_n of_o righteousness_n which_o cause_n paul_n do_v insinuate_v by_o express_v the_o effect_n in_o that_o he_o say_v fill_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n which_o employ_v that_o the_o bringer_n forth_o of_o those_o fruit_n must_v needs_o be_v tréee_n of_o righteousness_n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o work_v be_v good_a but_o that_o which_o be_v bring_v forth_o by_o a_o righteous_a man_n see_v that_o it_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n but_o none_o be_v a_o righteous_a man_n until_o he_o be_v justify_v therefore_o can_v none_o bring_v forth_o good_a work_n but_o such_o as_o be_v already_o justify_v whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o before_o justification_n no_o good_a work_v can_v be_v wrought_v paul_n go_v forward_o and_o say_v which_o fruit_n be_v in_o you_o by_o jesus_n chryst_n here_o do_v he_o evident_o declare_v what_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o good_a work_v namely_o jesus_n chryst_n so_o that_o where_o before_o he_o have_v teach_v justification_n or_o righteousness_n to_o be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o good_a work_v and_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o to_o be_v the_o material_a cause_n for_o that_o he_o will_v leave_v no_o doubt_n
