the._n 26._o article_n of_o the._n 8_o point_n if_o then_o we_o will_v allege_v for_o a_o cloak_n to_o cover_v our_o sin_n y_o â—_o merit_n of_o saint_n first_o we_o do_v they_o great_a wrong_n for_o as_o much_o as_o david_n himself_o cry_v out_o and_o say_v enter_v 143_o not_o lord_n into_o judgement_n with_o thy_o servant_n &_o in_o another_o 16_o place_n he_o confess_v y_fw-mi â—_o his_o work_n can_v not_o attain_v unto_o god_n and_o what_o say_v paul_n of_o abraham_n that_o holy_a person_n and_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a if_o abraham_n c_o say_v he_o have_v be_v justify_v by_o work_n he_o have_v wherein_o to_o rejoice_v but_o not_o toward_o god_n for_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n abraham_n beléeve_v god_n and_o that_o be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o ryghteousnesse_n and_o what_o say_v saint_n paul_n of_o himself_o true_o a_o say_v he_o i_o know_v not_o myself_o to_o be_v culpable_a but_o yet_o be_o i_o not_o thereby_o justify_v how_o can_v we_o then_o allege_v the_o merit_n of_o saint_n for_o a_o satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n for_o somuch_o as_o themselves_o have_v no_o refuge_n but_o 3_o to_o the_o only_a mercy_n of_o god_n be_v pacify_v by_o jesus_n christ_n reason_n moreover_o if_o it_o have_v be_v so_o that_o the_o saint_n have_v merit_v heaven_n by_o their_o holy_a life_n the_o which_o can_v not_o be_v since_o they_o do_v testify_v themselves_o the_o contrary_a have_v they_o not_o receyve_v already_o the_o payment_n and_o reward_n for_o their_o merit_n and_o good_a work_n by_o what_o right_a or_o title_n than_o can_v we_o allege_v their_o merit_n any_o more_o reason_n for_o to_o say_v that_o they_o have_v so_o many_o merit_n y_o â—_o there_o remain_v overplus_n for_o other_o be_v that_o not_o much_o as_n falâ—efy_v that_o which_o they_o have_v leave_v we_o in_o write_v and_o what_o more_o be_v it_o not_o as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v y_fw-mi â—_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n because_o they_o have_v in_o they_o more_o meryte_n and_o goodness_n than_o they_o need_v and_o moreover_o reason_n if_o they_o have_v merit_n more_o than_o they_o need_v by_o what_o right_a know_v we_o that_o they_o be_v we_o be_v it_o because_o we_o think_v that_o we_o have_v buy_v they_o behold_v sainte_n peter_n reprove_v simon_n the_o magicien_n of_o this_o false_a and_o curse_a merchandise_n thy_o money_n and_o thou_o perish_v together_o say_v he_o because_o thou_o thynck_a to_o buy_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n with_o d_o money_n behold_v now_o how_o we_o think_v to_o honour_v the_o saint_n dishonour_v they_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v possible_o but_o now_o if_o the_o work_n of_o saint_n can_v take_v no_o place_n or_o profit_v we_o in_o this_o point_n what_o can_v we_o find_v in_o ourselves_o or_o in_o any_o other_o man_n lyve_v that_o can_v be_v sufficient_a but_o for_o to_o cut_v of_o all_o such_o false_a imagination_n let_v we_o consider_v the_o reason_n follow_v first_o will_v we_o not_o count_v that_o man_n without_o his_o wit_n which_o will_v persuade_v himself_o to_o be_v quite_o of_o his_o creditor_n under_o this_o colour_n or_o pretence_n to_o have_v dream_v that_o he_o have_v pay_v his_o debt_n or_o that_o a_o other_o have_v pay_v it_o for_o he_o even_o so_o do_v we_o towards_o god_n â–ª_o when_o we_o be_v not_o content_a with_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o jesus_n christ_n only_o for_o what_o foundation_n or_o ground_n have_v all_o the_o will_n work_n or_o merit_n of_o saint_n worthypping_n but_o only_o the_o fantasy_n and_o imagination_n of_o man_n as_o though_o god_n ought_v to_o take_v all_o thing_n well_o which_o we_o invent_v or_o seem_v well_o to_o we_o but_o contrariwise_o here_o what_o jesus_n christ_n say_v with_o his_o own_o mouth_n they_o honour_v i_o in_o â—_o vain_a say_v be_v keep_v commandment_n of_o man_n and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v when_o c_o you_o come_v to_o appear_v before_o my_o face_n who_o require_v such_o thing_n of_o you_o to_o tread_v in_o my_o court_n etc._n etc._n second_o when_o we_o say_v that_o we_o stay_v upon_o the_o only_a mercy_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o do_v allege_v or_o think_v that_o we_o have_v satisfy_v or_o pay_v part_n altogether_o be_v not_o this_o a_o derogation_n to_o his_o mercy_n three_o not_o to_o be_v satisfy_v a_o with_o the_o only_a merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o to_o go_v about_o to_o ioygne_v and_o annexe_v other_o with_o he_o be_v it_o not_o as_o much_o as_o to_o deny_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v our_o only_a saviour_n &_o to_o make_v he_o but_o a_o d_o saviour_n in_o part_n four_o be_v not_o this_o the_o rob_n of_o god_n of_o his_o perfect_a justice_n d_o and_o so_o consequent_o of_o his_o divine_a power_n when_o we_o be_v so_o fool_n hardy_a to_o set_v against_o his_o merit_n y_o â—_o work_v of_o man_n wherein_o be_v so_o many_o imperfection_n how_o excellent_a so_o ever_o they_o â—_o be_v to_o pacify_v y_fw-mi â—_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o the_o prophet_n david_n â—_o say_v enter_v not_o lord_n into_o judgement_n with_o thy_o servant_n etc._n etc._n let_v we_o learn_v therefore_o to_o answer_v to_o the_o foresay_a argument_n of_o satan_n after_o a_o other_o manner_n that_o be_v on_o this_o wise_a thou_o say_v satan_n that_o god_n be_v that_o perfect_o righteous_a &_o revenger_n of_o all_o iniquity_n i_o do_v confess_v but_o i_o will_v ioygne_v thereto_o a_o other_o property_n of_o justice_n which_o thou_o have_v leave_v out_o that_o be_v for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n be_v righteous_a he_o be_v content_a with_o one_o payment_n thou_o will_v say_v then_o that_o there_o be_v infinite_a iniquity_n in_o i_o which_o deserve_v eternal_a death_n i_o do_v grant_v but_o i_o add_v more_o to_o it_o which_o you_o â—_o haste_v malicious_o omit_v that_o be_v â—_o that_o the_o iniquity_n which_o be_v in_o i_o be_v most_o sufficient_o revenge_v and_o punish_v in_o jesus_n christ_n which_o have_v horn_n the_o judgement_n of_o god_n in_o my_o stead_n so_o upon_o this_o i_o make_v my_o conclusion_n contrary_a to_o thou_o that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o much_o as_o god_n be_v righteous_a and_o d_o will_v not_o be_v pay_v double_a and_o jesus_n christ_n god_n d_o and_o man_n have_v by_o one_o infynite_a obedience_n make_v satysfaction_n to_o a_o the_o infynite_a majesty_n of_o god_n â–ª_o it_o follow_v a_o that_o my_o iniquity_n can_v no_o more_o fray_n nor_o trouble_v i_o my_o account_n c_o and_o debt_n be_v assure_o raise_v and_o wipe_v out_o by_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v make_v accurse_v b_o for_o i_o die_v righteous_a for_o the_o b_o unrighteous_a upon_o this_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o satan_n will_v set_v before_o our_o eye_n all_o our_o affliction_n and_o trouble_n and_o especial_o death_n b_o allege_v you_o â—_o they_o be_v as_o many_o sufficient_a testimony_n against_o we_o that_o god_n will_v not_o forgeve_v we_o our_o sin_n but_o we_o must_v reply_v to_o
