so_o the_o justify_n faith_n of_o very_a man_n how_o it_o be_v seat_v in_o his_o heart_n without_o any_o help_n mark_n or_o token_n for_o itself_o and_o in_o itself_o without_o all_o other_o respect_n

no_o not_o to_o he_o that_o have_v it_o therefore_o as_o god_n do_v justify_v a_o man_n by_o his_o faith_n so_o a_o man_n must_v justify_v himself_o by_o his_o work_n that_o be_v his_o faithful_a

before_o god_n when_o he_o offer_v isaac_n his_o son_n upon_o the_o altar_n three_o you_o see_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 namely_o of_o man_n by_o which_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v clear_a than_o the_o noon_n day_n that_o his_o justify_n faith_n can_v be_v know_v unto_o man_n but_o by_o his_o work_n that_o i_o say_v his_o resolute_a
