it_o followethe_v that_o they_o can_v not_o so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v in_o their_o wit_n believe_v that_o they_o be_v just_a because_o this_o verity_n must_v appear_v to_o the_o understanding_n

but_o rather_o to_o the_o contrary_n hence_o i_o gather_v twoe_n thing_n to_o be_v note_v first_o that_o if_o a_o sinner_n be_v justify_v by_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v just_a then_o be_v he_o justify_v by_o a_o lie_a faith_n because_o he_o be_v leeve_v that_o which_o be_v not_o and_o if_o you_o say_v that_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v believe_v so_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o that_o be_v

and_o lie_a faith_n the_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o note_v be_v how_o malicious_o and_o yet_o how_o covert_o the_o devil_n by_o his_o member_n seek_v our_o damnation_n for_o not_o content_a by_o their_o doctrine_n to_o have_v induce_v we_o to_o all_o sin_n he_o take_v a_o way_n the_o mean_n of_o rise_v again_o from_o the_o state_n of_o sin_n deny_v penance_n to_o be_v necessary_a yea_o

impossible_a as_o be_v already_o prove_v because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o understanding_n power_n to_o believe_v white_a to_o be_v black_a or_o that_o a_o man_n be_v just_a when_o no_o probability_n of_o it_o appear_v it_o follow_v that_o when_o a_o sinner_n be_v fall_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o rise_v again_o because_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o he_o to_o

be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o fit_n of_o a_o hot_a ageve_v or_o in_o the_o pang_n of_o death_n and_o so_o our_o reformer_n do_v not_o only_o tumble_v we_o headlong_o into_o the_o very_a depth_n
