evident_a that_o there_o be_v in_o he_o a_o right_a christian_a heart_n and_o bowel_n of_o mercy_n which_o do_v yearn_v and_o as_o it_o be_v melt_v at_o the_o calamity_n of_o his_o brethren_n which_o

right_a and_o perfect_v beneficence_n alm_n and_o liberality_n work_n we_o learn_v first_o out_o of_o this_o great_a alm_n of_o cornelius_n that_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o have_v the_o name_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v religious_a to_o fear_n god_n unless_o also_o this_o faith_n do_v fructify_v and_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n according_a to_o that_o which_o james_n write_v what_o avail_v

that_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v without_o work_n be_v dead_a and_o mark_v withal_o i_o beseech_v you_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o speech_n for_o it_o make_v be_v right_o understand_v very_o much_o against_o the_o popish_a justiciary_n of_o our_o time_n which_o teach_v out_o of_o he_o that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o his_o work_n which_o word_n in_o deed_n he_o use_v he_o do_v not_o say_v what_o if_o a_o man_n have_v faith_n but_o what_o if_o a_o man_n say_v he_o have_v faith_n by_o which_o appear_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o hypocrite_n and_o vain_a boaster_n of_o faith_n for_o the_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n can_v be_v no_o more_o without_o work_n than_o the_o fire_n without_o heat_n than_o water_n without_o moisture_n the_o sun_n without_o brightness_n the_o good_a tree_n without_o his_o good_a fruit_n brief_a and_o where_o he_o say_v that_o abraham_n with_o rahab_n be_v justify_v by_o their_o work_n he_o mean_v that_o their_o outward_a work_n before_o man_n be_v testimony_n of_o their_o inward_a faith_n before_o god_n and_o not_o that_o their_o work_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o salvation_n for_o so_o shall_v he_o be_v against_o all_o the_o scripture_n which_o
