not_o oppose_v to_o evangelical_n but_o to_o thetical_a or_o positive_a but_o to_o give_v some_o further_a light_n to_o this_o business_n we_o may_v consider_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o the_o

scripture_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v by_o this_o a_o empty_a bare_a and_o naked_a faith_n but_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o be_v perfect_v and_o consummate_v by_o love_n which_o the_o apostle_n saint_n james_n express_v by_o work_n that_o be_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o be_v not_o mere_o notional_a and_o inactive_a but_o

of_o god_n than_o in_o our_o constant_a exercise_n and_o practice_n of_o moral_a virtue_n insomuch_o that_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o those_o who_o neglect_v the_o sincere_a observance_n of_o
