shall_v they_o be_v reconcile_v sure_o no_o way_n so_o well_o as_o by_o look_v unto_o their_o different_a intention_n from_o whence_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o st._n paul_n remove_v work_n all_o

st._n paul_n be_v by_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n to_o demonstrate_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o that_o only_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n for_o since_o all_o the_o world_n stand_v culpable_a before_o god_n it_o follow_v of_o necessity_n that_o either_o we_o must_v perish_v without_o remedy_n or_o else_o be_v justify_v by_o a_o gospel_n of_o mercy_n which_o he_o well_o term_v the_o justification_n of_o faith_n in_o mere_a opposition_n to_o work_n all_o work_n even_o faith_n itself_o as_o the_o thing_n which_o may_v be_v think_v to_o justify_v now_o st._n james_n intent_n be_v only_o to_o vindicate_v this_o wholesome_a and_o necessary_a doctrine_n from_o the_o abuse_n of_o heretical_a spirit_n who_o evil_a word_n have_v at_o once_o corrupt_v both_o st._n paul_n meaning_n and_o their_o own_o good_a manner_n affirm_v that_o since_o work_n can_v not_o justify_v no_o work_n be_v necessary_a and_o therefore_o it_o matter_a little_a to_o observe_v the_o law_n it_o be_v enough_o only_a to_o believe_v the_o gospel_n against_o these_o dissolute_a epicure_n this_o apostle_n as_o st._n augustin_n observe_v whole_o direct_v his_o dispute_n the_o purpose_n whereof_o be_v not_o to_o place_v justification_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n for_o in_o many_o thing_n say_v he_o we_o offend_v all_o and_o if_o but_o in_o one_o yet_o be_v we_o guilty_a of_o the_o whole_a but_o only_a to_o show_v that_o unless_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n though_o former_o break_v do_v come_v at_o length_n to_o accompany_v our_o faith_n we_o can_v never_o be_v justify_v by_o any_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o than_o if_o we_o divide_v right_o according_a to_o these_o intent_n we_o must_v distinguish_v of_o a_o twofold_a justification_n by_o innocence_n and_o by_o pardon_n for_o it_o must_v be_v either_o by_o work_n or_o by_o mercy_n a_o legal_a justification_n or_o a_o evangelical_n and_o of_o two_o sort_n of_o work_n subservient_fw-fr unto_o these_o several_a justification_n and_o of_o two_o sort_n of_o way_n by_o which_o they_o do_v justify_v work_v of_o perfection_n and_o perpetual_a perfection_n that_o inherent_o justify_v and_o formal_o in_o strictness_n of_o law_n but_o be_v exclude_v by_o st._n paul_n as_o no_o where_o find_v in_o any_o and_o work_v of_o renovation_n after_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n require_v by_o st._n james_n in_o every_o one_o that_o expect_v the_o justification_n of_o the_o gospel_n those_o work_v perfect_o keep_v the_o law_n and_o never_o break_v it_o these_o keep_v the_o law_n sincere_o but_o after_o it_o be_v break_v they_o justify_v therefore_o in_o themselves_o and_o by_o their_o own_o worth_n these_o not_o so_o but_o because_o find_v in_o none_o but_o sinner_n prepare_v only_o and_o qualify_v for_o the_o justification_n of_o christ_n they_o justify_v these_o obtain_v justification_n that_o strict_o the_o justification_n of_o work_n this_o proper_o the_o justification_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v their_o fountain_n and_o faith_n alone_o alone_o without_o these_o may_v justify_v yea_o can_v justify_v with_o they_o for_o such_o work_n evacuate_v faith_n as_o not_o need_v it_o which_o be_v st._n paul_n doctrine_n but_o faith_n alone_o without_o these_o can_v justify_v yea_o without_o they_o be_v not_o faith_n not_o a_o true_a and_o a_o live_a faith_n which_o be_v st._n james_n his_o assertion_n and_o in_o this_o reconciliation_n do_v appear_v the_o reconciliation_n and_o opposition_n too_o of_o both_o law_n and_o gospel_n faith_n and_o work_n how_o they_o conspire_v and_o meet_v how_o they_o jar_v and_o refuse_v to_o mingle_v for_o the_o justification_n of_o the_o law_n evacuate_v christ_n who_o then_o die_v in_o vain_a as_o st._n paul_n speak_v for_o there_o need_v no_o saviour_n where_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n and_o the_o justification_n of_o christ_n disanull_v again_o that_o of_o the_o law_n as_o argue_v it_o to_o be_v break_v yea_o and_o the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o law_n too_o notwithstanding_o the_o breach_n so_o they_o contradict_v and_o dissolve_v one_o another_o but_o what_o the_o gospel_n exclude_v by_o remission_n of_o sin_n it_o close_v withal_o again_o by_o the_o manner_n of_o remit_v never_o pardon_v offence_n till_o they_o be_v first_o forsake_v and_o man_n return_v again_o to_o the_o

reconcile_v for_o so_o far_o the_o gospel_n do_v establish_v the_o law_n yea_o and_o far_o for_o it_o not_o only_o require_v but_o give_v grace_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o it_o do_v require_v even_o the_o observance_n of_o the_o law_n and_o this_o reconciliation_n st._n paul_n himself_o the_o great_a urger_n of_o the_o opposition_n every_o where_o do_v acknowledge_v for_o they_o be_v his_o own_o word_n not_o the_o hearer_n but_o the_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v justify_v and_o that_o the_o law_n be_v do_v by_o faith_n be_v evident_a for_o faith_n work_v by_o love_n and_o love_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n 8._o so_o the_o apostle_n be_v both_o meet_v st._n james_n require_v faith_n and_o work_n st._n paul_n a_o work_a faith_n work_v by_o love_n and_o that_o even_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n not_o so_o as_o to_o justify_v in_o themselves_o but_o only_o to_o qualify_v for_o the_o justification_n of_o christ._n the_o commandment_n therefore_o be_v no_o freewill_n offer_v at_o pleasure_n no_o voluntary_a duty_n of_o gratitude_n only_o but_o a_o duty_n necessary_a unto_o our_o justification_n here_o and_o eternal_a welfare_n if_o any_o be_v necessary_a for_o this_o be_v the_o whole_a duty_n of_o m●n_z why_o but_o yet_o for_o there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o wrangle_v though_o this_o wrangle_n shall_v end_v all_o though_o a_o duty_n now_o and_o a_o necessary_a yet_o since_o the_o gospel_n afford_v a_o mediator_n be_v it_o never_o so_o due_a the_o debt_n we_o hope_v may_v be_v pay_v by_o another_o that_o be_v our_o surety_n and_o that_o surety_n be_v christ_n who_o have_v exact_o keep_v the_o law_n and_o be_v make_v unto_o we_o wisdom_n justice_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n so_o say_v the_o apostle_n but_o no_o surety_n in_o this_o kind_n that_o which_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o man_n be_v every_o man_n be_v own_o duty_n and_o must_v be_v perform_v in_o his_o own_o person_n true_o indeed_o it_o be_v christ_n our_o lord_n fulfil_v the_o law_n exact_o but_o that_o we_o may_v break_v it_o in_o ourselves_o and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n fulfil_v it_o in_o he_o that_o be_v our_o mediator_n this_o i_o take_v it_o be_v not_o so_o true_a the_o apostle_n say_v indeed_o that_o he_o account_v all_o thing_n loss_n and_o dung_n too_o that_o he_o may_v be_v find_v in_o christ_n not_o have_v his_o own_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o god_n by_o faith_n yea_o far_o that_o god_n make_v he_o to_o be_v sin_n for_o we_o that_o know_v no_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o but_o yet_o this_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v for_o god_n own_o righteousness_n but_o only_o as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o former_a place_n for_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o god_n by_o faith_n which_o righteousness_n include_v both_o justification_n which_o be_v imputative_a and_o sanctification_n which_o be_v inherent_a but_o yet_o neither_o in_o st._n paul_n sense_n be_v our_o own_o because_o not_o of_o the_o law_n but_o of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n by_o the_o faith_n of_o christ._n be_v it_o then_o that_o christ_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o justice_n and_o sanctification_n both_o yea_o wisdom_n and_o redemption_n also_o yet_o not_o all_o after_o one_o and_o the_o same_o manner_n wisdom_n he_o be_v make_v because_o he_o have_v reveal_v his_o father_n will_n redemption_n because_o he_o have_v appoint_v a_o day_n to_o vindicate_v his_o child_n
alone_o without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n 4._o so_o st._n paul_n assure_v we_o but_o however_o a_o duty_n it_o be_v and_o a_o necessary_a duty_n necessary_a even_o to_o life_n unless_o no_o duty_n be_v necessary_a or_o solomon_n here_o be_v deceive_v for_o this_o be_v the_o whole_a duty_n of_o man_n justification_n indeed_o be_v that_o act_n of_o god_n which_o by_o remission_n of_o sin_n through_o christ_n put_v man_n into_o the_o state_n of_o life_n here_o and_o give_v they_o right_a and_o title_n unto_o life_n eternal_a hereafter_o and_o though_o therefore_o a_o estate_n attainable_a by_o the_o gospel_n only_o not_o by_o the_o law_n which_o all_o have_v transgress_v yet_o be_v it_o most_o true_a that_o so_o long_o as_o any_o shall_v continue_v witting_o and_o deliberate_o to_o transgress_v the_o law_n they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o this_o or_o any_o other_o benefit_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o gospel_n itself_o and_o whole_a scripture_n be_v clear_a in_o the_o point_n now_o then_o say_v even_o st._n paul_n on_o who_o they_o rely_v speak_v of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o then_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n and_o no_o condemnation_n be_v full_a justification_n but_o to_o who_o to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n but_o who_o be_v they_o that_o follow_v which_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n if_o any_o man_n walk_v otherwise_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o christ_n if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v communion_n with_o he_o and_o walk_v in_o darkness_n we_o lie_v say_v st._n john_n and_o

james_n be_v bold_a to_o conclude_v in_o term_n clean_o contrary_a you_o see_v then_o that_o by_o work_n a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o james_n two_o 24._o indeed_o much_o

of_o all_o discourse_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o be_v some_o of_o the_o noble_a that_o our_o faith_n do_v yield_v and_o unto_o the_o christian_a religion_n of_o all_o other_o most_o essential_a though_o most_o abuse_v as_o discover_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o invalidity_n of_o the_o law_n with_o the_o main_a difference_n and_o union_n too_o of_o both_o law_n and_o gospel_n
