that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o his_o work_n in_o that_o question_n be_v not_o abraham_n our_o father_n justify_v by_o work_n when_o he_o have_v offer_v isaac_n his_o son_n upon_o the_o altar_n to_o this_o instance_n answ_n answ_n the_o apostle_n answer_v by_o direct_o deny_v that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n for_o proof_n of_o which_o he_o quote_v a_o place_n out_o of_o the_o

afterward_o in_o undertake_v so_o perilous_a and_o dangerous_a a_o task_n mere_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n command_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o abraham_n who_o be_v style_v the_o

objection_n against_o this_o doctrine_n be_v take_v from_o that_o seem_a absurdity_n and_o contradiction_n which_o will_v follow_v shall_v man_n think_v of_o be_v save_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o for_o as_o every_o man_n be_v to_o be_v condemn_v only_o for_o his_o own_o sin_n so_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v most_o just_a and_o equal_a that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v only_o
