work_n and_o through_o the_o work_n be_v the_o faith_n make_v perfect_a 23_o and_o the_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v which_o say_v abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n and_o he_o be_v call_v the_o friend_n of_o god_n 24_o you_o see_v then_o how_o that_o of_o work_n a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o not_o of_o faith_n only_o the_o sum_n of_o this_o reason_n be_v this_o such_o as_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n be_v abraham_n ought_v also_o the_o faith_n of_o other_o believer_n to_o be_v for_o he_o be_v therefore_o call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o believer_n because_o that_o they_o that_o believe_v aught_o to_o imitate_v and_o follow_v his_o faith_n but_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n have_v work_v join_v with_o it_o which_o be_v thereby_o prove_v because_o he_o do_v so_o much_o esteem_v obedience_n towards_o god_n that_o he_o will_v rather_o kill_v his_o only_a son_n than_o not_o obey_v god_n therefore_o the_o faith_n of_o other_o also_o ought_v to_o have_v work_v join_v with_o it_o which_o if_o it_o have_v not_o it_o be_v worthy_o to_o be_v account_v vain_a and_o dead_a reason_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o argument_n now_o let_v we_o weigh_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o be_v wrest_v of_o the_o schoolman_n against_o free_a justification_n first_o the_o word_n justify_v be_v to_o be_v discuss_v which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v be_v declare_v to_o be_v just_a or_o be_v know_v to_o be_v justify_v and_o that_o this_o be_v so_o i_o prove_v by_o three_o necessary_a argument_n the_o first_o be_v take_v of_o the_o scope_n and_o end_n of_o this_o present_a disputation_n for_o james_n have_v not_o purpose_v a_o disputation_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o justification_n but_o only_o do_v show_v by_o what_o effect_n justification_n may_v be_v gather_v and_o as_o it_o be_v set_v before_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n see_v therefore_o it_o be_v a_o exceed_o great_a error_n of_o effect_n to_o make_v cause_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n they_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v bear_v which_o forget_v the_o scope_n &_o end_n of_o the_o disputation_n &_o proposition_n that_o be_v to_o be_v prove_v presume_v very_o high_a &_o go_v about_o to_o disprove_v the_o doctrine_n of_o paul_n concern_v free_a justification_n both_o when_o as_o the_o purpose_n of_o paul_n be_v far_o otherwise_o than_o of_o james._n for_o paul_n seek_v the_o cause_n of_o justification_n james_n the_o effect_n of_o the_o same_o paul_n descend_v from_o y_z e_z cause_n to_o y_z e_z effect_n james_n contrariwise_o ascend_v from_o the_o effect_n to_o y_z e_z cause_n paul_n seek_v how_o we_o be_v justify_v james_n how_o we_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v justify_v paul_n exclude_v work_n as_o cause_n of_o justification_n james_n include_v the_o same_o as_o the_o effect_n of_o justification_n see_v there_o be_v so_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o purpose_n of_o paul_n and_o james_n who_o see_v not_o the_o vanity_n of_o the_o schoolman_n which_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v contrary_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o justify_v the_o second_o necessary_a argument_n be_v take_v of_o the_o order_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o effect_n genes_n 15._o abraham_n be_v pronounce_v to_o be_v justify_v abraham_n believe_v the_o lord_n and_o he_o count_v that_o to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n but_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v thirty_o year_n at_o the_o least_o before_o he_o receyve_v a_o commandment_n concern_v the_o offering_n of_o his_o son_n isaac_n genes_n 22._o how_o therefore_o can_v it_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o that_o work_n which_o he_o do_v the_o thirty_o year_n after_o y_o t_o he_o be_v by_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n say_v to_o be_v justify_v it_o be_v necessary_a therefore_o that_o to_o be_v justify_v in_o james_n do_v signify_v to_o be_v declare_v justify_v the_o third_o necessary_a argument_n be_v take_v of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o angel_n genes_n 22._o justify_v after_o that_o abraham_n have_v purpose_v to_o kill_v his_o son_n at_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n &_o be_v call_v back_o from_o his_o purpose_n by_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o angel_n he_o hear_v of_o the_o angel_n now_o i_o know_v that_o thou_o fear_v god_n 22.12_o see_v for_o my_o sake_n thou_o have_v not_o spare_v thy_o only_a son_n what_o other_o thing_n i_o pray_v you_o do_v these_o word_n mean_v than_o that_o y_z e_z voluntary_a obedience_n of_o abraham_n be_v a_o testimony_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n &_o a_o certain_a declaration_n of_o the_o justification_n of_o abraham_n and_o thus_o brief_o it_o be_v declare_v what_o the_o word_n of_o justification_n do_v signify_v in_o this_o disputation_n of_o james._n afterward_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o faith_n wrought_v with_o his_o work_n he_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o lively_a faith_n to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v effectual_a and_o full_a of_o good_a work_n see_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o hypocrite_n have_v not_o this_o nature_n it_o be_v in_o no_o case_n to_o be_v judge_v a_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n this_o say_n therefore_o of_o james_n do_v teach_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o good_a work_n do_v proceed_v of_o faith_n that_o which_o james_n add_v through_o the_o work_n work_n the_o faith_n be_v make_v perfect_a be_v nothing_o else_o than_o you_o t_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n be_v declare_v by_o his_o work_n not_o to_o have_v be_v counterfeit_a or_o hypocritical_a but_o true_a and_o sincere_a for_o if_o thou_o do_v call_v that_o perfect_a here_o which_o be_v in_o it_o degree_n absolute_a no_o mortal_a man_n live_v at_o any_o time_n have_v have_v a_o perfect_a faith_n moreover_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v which_o say_v abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v refer_v unto_o the_o cause_n but_o unto_o the_o effect_n for_o by_o that_o deed_n abraham_n declare_v that_o he_o be_v in_o very_a deed_n justify_v before_o by_o faith_n this_o fulfil_n therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o experience_n of_o man_n and_o not_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n 25_o likewise_o also_o be_v not_o rahab_n the_o harlot_n justify_v through_o work_n when_o she_o have_v receyve_v the_o messenger_n and_o send_v they_o out_o another_o way_n work_n he_o prove_v by_o another_o example_n y_fw-fr t_o a_o true_a &_o a_o lively_a faith_n be_v not_o without_o work_n rahab_n by_o her_o deed_n or_o work_n declare_v herself_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n when_o with_o the_o peril_n of_o her_o life_n she_o send_v away_o y_z e_z messenger_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n lest_o they_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o they_o that_o seek_v they_o 26_o for_o as_o the_o body_n without_o the_o spirit_n be_v dead_a even_o so_o the_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a vain_a by_o a_o most_o apt_a similitude_n propound_v he_o prove_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o hypocrite_n be_v vain_a in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v like_o a_o dead_a body_n or_o carcase_n wherein_o be_v no_o lively_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o no_o move_a or_o sense_n of_o a_o live_a creature_n be_v find_v in_o it_o and_o thus_o james_n by_o six_o firm_a reason_n have_v prove_v that_o a_o true_a faith_n be_v fruitful_a in_o good_a work_n and_o that_o the_o faith_n of_o hypocrite_n which_o be_v void_a of_o work_n be_v a_o vain_a boast_v rather_o than_o faith_n a_o declaration_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o repentance_n when_o as_o christ_n do_v define_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v of_o repentance_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o name_n sin_n he_o set_v forth_o two_o thing_n unto_o b_n whereof_o one_o be_v the_o benefit_n which_o the_o gospel_n offer_v the_o other_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o the_o benefit_n be_v apply_v unto_o man_n the_o benefit_n which_o be_v offer_v be_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n the_o mean_n be_v repentance_n for_o they_o only_a which_o repent_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n wherewith_o be_v join_v justification_n salvation_n and_o eternal_a life_n hereof_o it_o easy_o appear_v that_o nothing_o be_v more_o necessary_a for_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n than_o to_o understande_v wherein_o true_a repentance_n consist_v without_o the_o which_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n come_v unto_o no_o man_n of_o this_o wholesome_a and_o true_a repentance_n i_o will_v speak_v and_o will_v so_o declare_v the_o matter_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o manifest_a example_n that_o everye_o man_n may_v acknowledge_v the_o truth_n and_o plainness_n thereof_o the_o foundation_n therefore_o of_o the_o preach_n of_o

towards_o his_o fellow_n so_o god_n after_o he_o have_v receive_v we_o be_v sorry_a for_o our_o sin_n into_o favour_n will_v have_v we_o imitate_v his_o example_n in_o liberality_n and_o goodness_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n this_o the_o lord_n teach_v luke_n 7._o propound_v a_o example_n of_o two_o debtor_n the_o one_o whereof_o ought_v unto_o the_o lender_n five_o hundred_o penny_n and_o the_o other_o fifty_o who_o when_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o pay_v he_o forgive_v they_o both_o here_o the_o lord_n ask_v the_o pharise_n whether_o of_o they_o will_v love_v the_o lender_n most_o

they_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n when_o as_o they_o have_v no_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n in_o deed_n save_v he_o make_v a_o confutation_n of_o their_o erroneous_a opinion_n and_o teach_v that_o that_o faith_n be_v vain_a which_o do_v not_o bring_v forth_o it_o true_a fruit_n this_o proposition_n be_v diligent_o to_o be_v mark_v faith_n which_o have_v not_o work_n be_v uneffectual_a and_o

compare_n james_n with_o paul_n when_o as_o james_n dispute_v only_o of_o the_o vain_a boast_n of_o hypocrite_n paul_n of_o a_o lively_a faith_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o diligent_o mark_v in_o this_o place_n what_o faith_n the_o apostle_n call_v vain_a to_o wit_n that_o which_o have_v no_o obedience_n towards_o god_n accompany_v it_o in_z much_o as_o it_o neither_o worship_v god_n nor_o do_v well_o to_o it_o neighbour_n whereupon_o it_o manifest_o follow_v that_o james_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o a_o lively_a and_o a_o right_a faith_n from_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n can_v

it_o be_v void_a of_o life_n but_o it_o bring_v forth_o the_o bitter_a fruit_n of_o hell_n and_o death_n for_o it_o be_v a_o most_o fruitful_a mother_n of_o vanity_n superstition_n and_o hypocrisy_n it_o be_v a_o foolish_a boast_n it_o be_v but_o a_o image_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v a_o stop_n or_o let_v from_o salvation_n it_o be_v a_o guider_n or_o leader_n unto_o death_n brief_o it_o have_v it_o
