be_v save_v by_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o be_v without_o good_a work_n they_o do_v we_o manifest_a wrong_n in_o charge_v we_o to_o teach_v against_o good_a work_n and_o that_o we_o be_v save_v by_o a_o idle_a faith_n that_o have_v no_o work_n whereas_o we_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v by_o the_o faith_n which_o have_v good_a work_n but_o without_o the_o work_n because_o faith_n only_o do_v apprehend_v the_o matter_n of_o our_o justification_n which_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o work_n to_o do_v for_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v of_o christ_n act_v 13._o be_v it_o know_v unto_o you_o man_n and_o brethren_n that_o through_o this_o man_n be_v preach_v unto_o you_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o from_o all_o thing_n from_o which_o you_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n by_o he_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v be_v justify_v many_o when_o they_o hear_v we_o speak_v of_o justification_n do_v not_o consider_v the_o point_n for_o they_o suppose_v that_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o matter_n when_o indeed_o we_o speak_v only_o of_o the_o mean_n for_o to_o speak_v proper_o of_o the_o matter_n it_o be_v neither_o faith_n of_o itself_o nor_o faith_n and_o work_v together_o that_o do_v justify_v we_o before_o god_n but_o as_o we_o see_v it_o be_v christ_n jesus_n only_o of_o himself_o and_o by_o himself_o that_o do_v both_o justify_v and_o save_v but_o as_o touch_v the_o mean_n we_o say_v it_o be_v faith_n alone_o and_o hereof_o it_o be_v which_o saint_n ambrose_n speak_v both_o
