god_n have_v do_v no_o doubt_n many_o good_a work_n and_o offer_v many_o sacrifice_n unto_o god_n yet_o without_o respect_n unto_o any_o of_o his_o work_n that_o he_o now_o the_o child_n and_o

therefore_o paul_n be_v bold_a to_o use_v such_o exclusive_a word_n the_o promise_n be_v not_o give_v through_o the_o law_n but_o through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o sicut_fw-la

so_o be_v we_o also_o who_o be_v his_o child_n by_o grace_n but_o to_o be_v short_a i_o suppose_v we_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o gather_v out_o of_o that_o which_o be_v say_v this_o reason_n as_o abraham_n be_v justify_v so_o shall_v we_o be_v but_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n that_o he_o do_v be_v god_n servant_n therefore_o we_o also_o shall_v so_o be_v justify_v all_o this_o argument_n may_v well_o and_o strong_o be_v prove_v out_o of_o this_o four_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n but_o what_o need_v many_o argument_n confitentem_fw-la habemus_fw-la reum_fw-la stapleton_n our_o countryman_n a_o sure_a friend_n to_o the_o romish_a church_n and_o as_o loath_a as_o any_o of_o they_o to_o write_v any_o thing_n that_o

stapleton_n and_o therefore_o not_o justify_v absolute_o or_o perfect_o now_o a_o unperfit_a justification_n we_o be_v not_o acquaint_v withal_o neither_o have_v christ_n or_o any_o of_o his_o

have_v obtain_v perfect_a justification_n before_o god_n for_o all_o believer_n but_o here_o i_o will_v fain_o have_v ask_v a_o question_n of_o stapleton_n if_o he_o have_v be_v alive_a or_o of_o some_o other_o friend_n of_o he_o see_v he_o be_v go_v to_o give_v a_o account_n how_o well_o he_o have_v use_v his_o talon_n whether_o to_o gain_v soul_n to_o christ_n or_o to_o antichrist_n how_o

chauntery_n and_o such_o like_a place_n for_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n all_o this_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o stapleton_n assure_v we_o there_o be_v in_o these_o or_o any_o other_o though_o better_a work_n by_o far_o such_o as_o god_n have_v command_v no_o power_n to_o remit_v sin_n so_o that_o justification_n must_v be_v seek_v for_o some_o better_a way_n and_o so_o it_o seem_v the_o

and_o thus_o i_o trust_v upon_o so_o good_a a_o confession_n of_o stapleton_n so_o good_a warrant_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sure_a ground_n of_o doctrine_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o account_v guiltless_a before_o god_n by_o faith_n apprehend_v christ_n jesus_n in_o who_o we_o have_v redemption_n by_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n without_o any_o merit_n of_o our_o wroke_n whether_o before_o or_o after_o our_o justification_n now_o that_o which_o out_o of_o these_o word_n we_o conclude_v do_v of_o necessity_n follow_v but_o that_o our_o adversary_n fear_v lest_o their_o diana_n of_o merit_n shall_v be_v nothing_o esteem_v if_o they_o cast_v not_o a_o mist_n before_o man_n eye_n to_o hinder_v from_o they_o see_v the_o clear_a light_n of_o truth_n that_o

the_o romish_a demetrius_n that_o get_v much_o by_o sell_v such_o as_o they_o call_v good_a work_n with_o his_o follower_n seek_v to_o defend_v the_o doctrine_n of_o merit_n cry_v out_o of_o that_o

we_o bold_o stand_v and_o plead_v not_o guilty_a whereby_o our_o adversary_n may_v see_v how_o unjust_o they_o slander_v we_o and_o our_o doctrine_n as_o if_o we_o be_v enemy_n to_o all_o good_a work_n and_o yet_o we_o only_o teach_v that_o such_o a_o true_a faith_n as_o i_o have_v now_o describe_v without_o respect_n of_o the_o work_n that_o always_o accompany_v it_o do_v justify_v not_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o this_o faith_n but_o in_o that_o it_o be_v our_o hand_n whereby_o we_o apprehend_v and_o hold_v fast_o that_o justification_n which_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n through_o the_o unspeakable_a mercy_n of_o god_n and_o this_o our_o doctrine_n be_v so_o warrant_v in_o sacred_a scripture_n as_o nothing_o more_o saint_n paul_n do_v often_o use_v exclusive_a word_n equivalent_a exclusive_a word_n negative_a equivalent_a as_o these_o be_v without_o the_o law_n without_o work_n sometime_o plain_a negative_a word_n not_o by_o work_n not_o by_o the_o law_n otherwhile_o word_n equivalent_a or_o of_o such_o like_a force_n as_o by_o grace_n free_o these_o manner_n of_o speech_n when_o i_o consider_v of_o i_o can_v but_o like_v well_o of_o the_o good_a and_o christian_a

thus_o therefore_o i_o reason_n for_o our_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n only_o if_o work_n be_v not_o to_o be_v join_v with_o faith_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n than_o faith_n only_o even_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o our_o adversary_n do_v justify_v for_o our_o romish_a catholic_n deny_v not_o this_o our_o doctrine_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o work_n neither_o do_v they_o in_o any_o their_o book_n or_o write_n seek_v to_o match_v any_o thing_n with_o faith_n as_o cause_v of_o justification_n but_o work_v only_o but_o work_n be_v not_o to_o be_v join_v with_o faith_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n as_o the_o apostle_n most_o plain_o prove_v 2.16_o gal._n 2.16_o know_v you_o that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n again_o you_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n 2.8.9_o eph._n 2.8.9_o through_o faith_n 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 himself_o last_o these_o word_n to_o the_o roman_n be_v very_o effectual_a 1.28_o rom._n 1.28_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v
by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n as_o if_o he_o will_v have_v say_v we_o the_o apostle_n of_o jesus_n christ_n appoint_v to_o be_v the_o schoolmaster_n and_o teacher_n of_o the_o world_n upon_o good_a ground_n teach_v this_o as_o a_o doctrine_n not_o to_o be_v deny_v a_o principle_n in_o religion_n not_o to_o be_v doubt_v of_o only_a i'faith_o only_a and_o howsoever_o our_o
