in_o himself_o yet_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o justify_v a_o sinner_n be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o christ._n bellarmine_n notwithstanding_o make_v two_o justification_n the_o first_o wherein_o a_o sinner_n be_v make_v righteous_a by_o infusion_n of_o habitual_a righteousness_n the_o second_o when_o a_o just_a man_n make_v himself_o more_o just_a by_o the_o practice_n of_o actual_a righteousness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o good_a work_n which_o two_o be_v degree_n of_o sanctification_n and_o not_o of_o justification_n and_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n speak_v only_o of_o the_o former_a wherein_o work_n go_v before_o faith_n be_v exclude_v from_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n so_o that_o in_o bellarmine_n conceit_n when_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n his_o meaning_n be_v without_o work_n go_v before_o justification_n but_o what_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o other_o man_n he_o affirm_v of_o faithful_a abraham_n at_o what_o time_n he_o be_v a_o man_n regenerate_v as_o bellarmine_n consess_v and_o abound_v with_o good_a work_n which_o as_o the_o same_o apostle_n testify_v heb._n 11._o 8._o etc._n etc._n he_o wrought_v by_o faith_n and_o yet_o of_o he_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o work_n that_o the_o

so_o afterward_o when_o he_o abound_v with_o good_a work_n he_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o work_n and_o undoubted_o if_o ever_o any_o man_n attain_v to_o the_o second_o justification_n which_o the_o papist_n ascribe_v to_o work_n abraham_n have_v it_o then_o when_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v that_o he_o be_v justify_v without_o work_n second_o that_o work_n be_v exclude_v from_o justification_n not_o only_o those_o which_o go_v before_o faith_n but_o also_o those_o that_o follow_v and_o be_v wrought_v by_o it_o §_o v._o the_o second_o respect_n when_o bellarmine_n endeavour_v to_o reconcile_v respect_n the_o seem_a difference_n between_o the_o apostle_n paul_n rom._n 3._o &_o 4._o and_o saint_n james_n chap._n 2._o he_o say_v that_o paul_n speak_v of_o the_o first_o justification_n say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n namely_o go_v before_o justification_n but_o saint_n james_n speak_v of_o the_o second_o justification_n say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o but_o both_o the_o apostle_n use_v the_o example_n of_o abraham_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o their_o

most_o fruitful_a of_o good_a work_n yet_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n and_o as_o abraham_n be_v justify_v so_o be_v all_o the_o faithful_a saint_n james_n conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v that_o be_v declare_v and_o know_v to_o be_v just_a by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o profession_n of_o faith_n only_o prove_v also_o his_o assertion_n by_o the_o example_n of_o

not_o justify_v before_o god_n but_o by_o faith_n only_o as_o saint_n paul_n teach_v this_o example_n therefore_o of_o abraham_n do_v prove_v that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o first_o justification_n which_o be_v habitual_a nor_o of_o work_n only_o go_v before_o justification_n for_o abraham_n be_v a_o man_n long_o before_o regenerate_v and_o justify_v and_o his_o

vi_o bellarmine_n second_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v with_o condition_n refute_v if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n not_o proceed_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o faith_n as_o they_o think_v who_o to_o their_o own_o strength_n attribute_v righteousness_n then_o sure_o he_o have_v glory_n but_o not_o with_o god_n and_o because_o it_o be_v evident_a enough_o that_o abraham_n have_v glory_n even_o with_o god_n thence_o he_o gather_v that_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n without_o faith_n but_o by_o faith_n from_o which_o good_a work_n true_o proceed_v he_o shall_v have_v say_v by_o work_n which_o proceed_v from_o faith_n if_o he_o mean_v to_o contradict_v we_o for_o we_o do_v confess_v that_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n from_o which_o good_a work_n do_v proceed_v but_o withal_o we_o say_v that_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o his_o work_n but_o in_o this_o senseless_a answer_n of_o bellarmine_n there_o be_v many_o absurdity_n for_o first_o by_o incredible_a impudency_n he_o take_v for_o grant_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n dispute_v against_o namely_o that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n viz._n such_o work_v as_o

from_o faith_n second_o he_o pervert_v the_o question_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n dispute_v that_o abraham_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n without_o faith_n or_o not_o proceed_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o faith_n as_o they_o forsooth_o thought_n who_o to_o their_o own_o strength_n attribute_v righteousness_n as_o though_o either_o abraham_n have_v any_o good_a work_n which_o do_v not_o

that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v not_o in_o we_o but_o out_o of_o we_o in_o christ_n which_o be_v absurd_a for_o as_o themselves_o expound_v the_o phrase_n 4._o formal_a justice_n consist_v

neither_o be_v it_o the_o whole_a benefit_n of_o justification_n but_o a_o part_n thereof_o for_o although_o many_o of_o our_o divine_n as_o have_v be_v say_v have_v teach_v that_o unto_o

and_o therefore_o be_v not_o that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v impute_v thus_o therefore_o i_o argue_v by_o what_o we_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n by_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o by_o

by_o infusion_n of_o righteousness_n and_o for_o this_o they_o have_v some_o show_n of_o reason_n for_o if_o they_o shall_v hold_v that_o justification_n consist_v partly_o in_o remission_n that_o be_v in_o the_o forgiveness_n or_o not_o imputation_n of_o sin_n and_o partly_o in_o renovation_n or_o sanctification_n then_o they_o must_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v two_o formal_a cause_n of_o
