the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n as_o prove_v the_o scripture_n before_o rehearse_v and_o by_o the_o example_n of_o abra._n who_o have_v not_o mix_v tion_n of_o work_n in_o his_o justification_n the_o which_o we_o must_v affirm_v to_o be_v true_a because_o the_o scripture_n affirm_v the_o same_o and_o testify_v he_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o imputation_n through_o faith_n because_o he_o believe_v

which_o believe_v and_o be_v son_n to_o abraham_n by_o faith_n and_o trust_v well_o abraham_n do_v many_o noble_a and_o heroical_a work_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o none_o of_o these_o

and_o i_o shall_v put_v my_o covenant_n between_o i_o and_o thou_o &_o shall_v multiply_v thy_o seed_n exceed_o &_o thou_o be_v the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n 21._o and_o after_o this_o god_n

not_o spare_v thy_o only_o beget_v son_n i_o shall_v bliss_n thou_o and_o multiply_v thy_o seed_n as_o the_o star_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n shore_n because_o thou_o have_v

for_o the_o faithful_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n daily_a persevere_v &_o increase_a day_n by_o day_n more_o &_o more_o perfect_a which_o be_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n give_v ever_o thanks_o &_o
