of_o the_o faithful_a be_v in_o one_o christ_n alone_o as_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o work_n we_o need_v no_o long_a discourse_n for_o to_o show_v that_o they_o have_v none_o at_o all_o see_v that_o the_o very_o best_a of_o our_o work_n be_v full_a of_o defect_n be_v always_o mingle_v with_o some_o corruption_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o man_n be_v so_o subject_a to_o sin_v as_o that_o he_o do_v not_o the_o good_a he_o will_v but_o the_o evil_n which_o he_o will_v not_o wherefore_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v that_o we_o be_v all_o as_o a_o unclean_a thing_n and_o that_o all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o filthy_a rag_n isaiah_n 64._o 6._o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o have_v no_o merit_n at_o all_o for_o what_o can_v such_o pollute_a work_n that_o be_v so_o far_o from_o that_o perfection_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v deserve_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o though_o they_o be_v do_v as_o they_o ought_v yet_o can_v they_o deserve_v nothing_o for_o a_o man_n deserve_v nothing_o in_o do_v that_o which_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v when_o you_o shall_v have_v do_v all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v you_o say_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v

not_o give_v we_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o work_n if_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n say_v saint_n paul_n it_o be_v no_o more_o of_o work_n otherwise_o grace_n be_v no_o more_o grace_n rom._n 11._o 6._o but_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o glory_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v give_v they_o through_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o give_v they_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o their_o work_n the_o second_o proposition_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v also_o prove_v by_o many_o express_a text_n out_o of_o the_o

saviour_n towards_o man_n appear_v not_o by_o work_n of_o righteousness_n which_o we_o have_v do_v but_o according_a to_o his_o mercy_n he_o save_v we_o by_o the_o wash_n of_o regeneration_n and_o renew_v of_o the_o holyghost_n tit._n 3._o 4._o 5._o in_o a_o word_n whatsoever_o absolve_v and_o justify_v we_o before_o god_n from_o the_o same_o i_o say_v come_v all_o our_o merit_n but_o it_o be_v the_o only_a obedience_n merit_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o absolve_v and_o justify_v we_o before_o god_n therefore_o from_o he_o alone_o proceed_v all_o our_o merit_n and_o if_o all_o our_o merit_n proceed_v from_o christ_n alone_o than_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o our_o work_n but_o the_o first_o be_v true_a therefore_o the_o last_o also_o let_v our_o adversary_n now_o deny_v as_o much_o as_o they_o will_v that_o all_o our_o merit_n be_v in_o one_o christ_n alone_o and_o let_v they_o establish_v other_o merit_n in_o

the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o isaiah_n 53._o and_o so_o do_v the_o apostle_n s._n paul_n say_v that_o the_o mediator_n be_v one_o between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o
