faith_n whether_o it_o be_v alive_a or_o dead_a be_v find_v and_o declare_v just_a by_o his_o work_n and_o here_o by_o a_o interrogation_n he_o urge_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n abraham_n the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v justify_v before_o the_o whole_a world_n because_o his_o faith_n be_v not_o dead_a but_o alive_a by_o his_o work_n when_o he_o have_v offer_v isaac_n his_o son_n upon_o the_o altar_n in_o testimony_n of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o his_o faith_n or_o that_o he_o by_o a_o lively_a faith_n believe_v in_o god_n and_o please_v not_o himself_o in_o the_o vain_a profession_n of_o a_o idle_a or_o dead_a faith_n as_o many_o do_v therefore_o faith_n which_o be_v without_o work_n be_v dead_a and_o vain_a and_o so_o james_n very_o well_o agree_v

before_o god_n by_o work_n but_o james_n argue_v thus_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n before_o man_n who_o may_v say_v to_o he_o show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_n or_o demonstrate_v to_o i_o that_o thy_o faith_n be_v not_o dead_a but_o alive_a from_o which_o antecedent_n it_o do_v not_o only_o follow_v therefore_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a but_o also_o the_o conclusion_n agree_v with_o paul_n conclusion_n therefore_o abraham_n be_v justify_v before_o god_n not_o by_o that_o dead_a faith_n and_o void_a of_o work_n but_o by_o a_o lively_a faith_n and_o efficacious_a in_o work_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n agree_v very_o well_o vers._n 22._o see_v thou_o how_o faith_n wrought_v with_o his_o work_n and_o by_o work_n be_v faith_n make_v perfect_a he_o show_v that_o this_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o james_n by_o convince_a the_o boast_a hypocrite_n glory_v of_o a_o dead_a faith_n from_o this_o that_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n together_o with_o the_o profession_n of_o faith_n have_v work_n join_v with_o it_o so_o that_o his_o faith_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v perfect_v by_o work_n and_o not_o find_v vain_a or_o dead_a vers._n 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 from_o hence_o also_o he_o infer_v a_o exposition_n of_o that_o scripture_n which_o paul_n cite_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n and_o so_o he_o full_o demonstrate_v his_o consent_n with_o paul_n see_v that_o abraham_n faith_n be_v perfect_o declare_v by_o his_o wo●ks_n or_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o than_o it_o be_v declare_v plain_o that_o the_o scripture_n have_v speak_v true_a he_o believe_v etc._n etc._n and_o so_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o abraham_n for_o righteousness_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o faith_n not_o dead_a but_o lively_a and_o operative_a by_o work_n and_o james_n here_o show_v that_o this_o exposition_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o fulfil_n and_o the_o full_a sense_n of_o it_o he_o say_v that_o abraham_n be_v call_v the_o friend_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v that_o sincere_a reconciliation_n with_o god_n be_v wrought_v by_o faith_n and_o true_a friendship_n be_v demonstrate_v by_o the_o manifestation_n of_o faith_n in_o work_n of_o obedience_n vers._n 24._o you_o see_v then_o how_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 the_o conclusion_n follow_v from_o these_o premise_n against_o the_o boast_n of_o hypocrite_n touch_v their_o vain_a faith_n that_o all_o profess_v faith_n before_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o their_o work_n and_o not_o only_o by_o the_o profession_n of_o their_o faith_n or_o by_o a_o dead_a and_o vain_a faith_n which_o you_o hypocrite_n boast_v of_o vers._n 25._o likewise_o also_o be_v not_o rahab_n
