fly_v only_o to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o satisfaction_n he_o say_v he_o know_v none_o other_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n that_o can_v pay_v his_o debt_n but_o his_o blood_n and_o so_o must_v all_o true_a catholic_n say_v with_o he_o that_o same_o conclusion_n and_o definitive_a sentence_n of_o saint_n augustine_n concern_v our_o justification_n be_v worth_a the_o mark_v against_o all_o

to_o the_o hability_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o we_o gather_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o a_o good_a life_n but_o by_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v not_o by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n not_o by_o the_o letter_n but_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o although_o the_o apostle_n when_o as_o he_o will_v correct_v and_o reform_v those_o which_o take_v pleasure_n in_o circumcision_n call_v circumcision_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o law_n and_o other_o such_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n all_o which_o now_o as_o shadow_n of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v the_o christian_n refuse_v hold_v that_o which_o be_v figurative_o promise_v by_o those_o shadow_n yet_o he_o will_v have_v the_o law_n to_o

shall_v do_v live_v justly_o saint_n augustine_n here_o plain_o teach_v that_o not_o only_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n we_o be_v not_o justify_v as_o some_o papist_n seem_v to_o expound_v that_o place_n of_o saint_n paul_n but_o not_o also_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o so_o gagneius_n go_v about_o to_o expound_v saint_n paul_n in_o his_o exposition_n upon_o saint_n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n out_o of_o the_o former_a chapter_n say_v he_o whereas_o s._n paul_n say_v we_o think_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o out_o of_o the_o text_n of_o this_o present_a chapter_n wherein_o he_o show_v that_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o abraham_n not_o in_o circumcision_n but_o whenas_o he_o be_v uncircumcised_a before_o his_o circumcision_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o be_v mean_v in_o this_o place_n that_o abraham_n be_v not_o justify_v of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o after_o he_o be_v justify_v of_o work_n that_o be_v those_o work_v he_o speak_v on_o before_o mean_v circumcision_n and_o in_o his_o exposition_n upon_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o galathian_o he_o allege_v the_o greek_a scholiast_n to_o confirm_v this_o his_o assertion_n nature_n herself_o teach_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v necessary_a in_o the_o law_n say_v the_o scholiast_n as_o thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v adultery_n gal._n gag_n in_o 2._o cap._n ad_fw-la gal._n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v but_o those_o thing_n which_o concern_v the_o sabbath_n circumcision_n and_o leprosy_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o sprinckling_n those_o be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o these_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o opinion_n in_o the_o scholiast_n here_o we_o may_v see_v that_o s._n austen_n be_v of_o a_o contrary_a opinion_n and_o gagneius_n himself_o as_o shall_v seem_v mislike_v this_o opinion_n for_o in_o his_o preface_n upon_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n he_o write_v thus_o but_o if_o any_o man_n will_v urge_v when_o as_o very_o often_o in_o this_o epistle_n and_o also_o in_o other_o his_o epistle_n that_o paul_n say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n that_o not_o only_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v exclude_v but_o also_o all_o other_o thing_n else_o whatsoever_o i_o will_v not_o great_o say_v against_o he_o if_o he_o will_v patient_o endure_v to_o hear_v that_o justification_n be_v take_v in_o the_o scripture_n two_o way_n first_o to_o be_v justify_v be_v of_o one_o that_o be_v wicked_a to_o be_v make_v just_a the_o which_o thing_n be_v do_v in_o a_o moment_n and_o without_o any_o merit_n of_o our_o work_n yea_o and_o without_o any_o work_n of_o we_o go_v before_o it_o and_o here_o mark_v that_o i_o say_v go_v before_o it_o for_o together_o with_o that_o justification_n must_v needs_o come_v the_o move_n of_o freewill_n repent_v of_o her_o former_a life_n and_o believe_v in_o jesus_n be_v of_o god_n draw_v and_o stir_v up_o to_o that_o motion_n and_o of_o this_o justification_n paul_n speak_v as_o often_o as_o he_o say_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o save_v without_o work_n here_o he_o seem_v to_o say_v plain_o that_o our_o first_o justification_n be_v without_o any_o work_n that_o it_o save_v we_o and_o yet_o after_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o salvation_n imperfect_a and_o begin_v in_o we_o when_o as_o a_o man_n arise_v from_o infidelity_n and_o sin_n to_o grace_n which_o he_o deserve_v by_o no_o work_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o do_v without_o a_o good_a work_n and_o move_v of_o the_o will_v which_o free_o be_v pour_v into_o it_o of_o god_n here_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o saint_n paul_n when_o as_o he_o say_v that_o without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n we_o be_v justify_v and_o he_o will_v have_v even_o in_o our_o first_o justification_n one_o concurrent_a second_o he_o seem_v to_o disagree_v from_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n which_o teach_v that_o our_o freewill_n be_v stir_v up_o agree_v willing_o and_o joint_o work_v with_o grace_n but_o he_o say_v it_o must_v be_v draw_v and_o this_o argue_v a_o violence_n and_o thing_n extort_a and_o not_o voluntary_a 9.5_o 2._o cor._n 9.5_o have_v no_o reward_n with_o god_n as_o saint_n paul_n plain_o teach_v but_o after_o he_o make_v a_o second_o justification_n and_o to_o this_o justification_n he_o say_v good_a work_n be_v require_v and_o he_o allege_v that_o one_o place_n for_o proof_n hereof_o out_o of_o the_o revelation_n he_o that_o be_v justify_v let_v he_o as_o yet_o be_v justify_v but_o he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v consider_v how_o that_o as_o in_o that_o one_o place_n the_o holy_a ghost_n exhort_v all_o they_o that_o be_v justify_v that_o they_o be_v justify_v still_o so_o it_o teach_v all_o christian_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o increase_n of_o faith_n 1.16_o roman_n 1.16_o and_o again_o saint_n paul_n say_v i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n for_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v it_o to_o the_o jew_n first_o and_o then_o to_o the_o gentile_a here_o be_v the_o first_o justification_n but_o it_o follow_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v in_o it_o from_o

to_o faith_n the_o justify_v man_n be_v more_o justify_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n as_o his_o faith_n increase_v so_o his_o righteousness_n and_o hereof_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o the_o just_a man_n live_v by_o faith_n not_o only_o the_o first_o moment_n of_o his_o justification_n but_o all_o his_o life_n long_o and_o saint_n peter_n say_v 1.5_o 1._o pet._n 1.5_o that_o through_o faith_n
