of_o offer_v up_o of_o isaac_n be_v most_o excellent_a because_o than_o it_o appear_v manifest_o what_o manner_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v wherefore_o god_n have_v account_v he_o just_a in_o former_a

they_o understand_v it_o dispositiuè_fw-fr &_o meritoriè_fw-fr not_o formaliterè_fw-la faith_n in_o itself_o be_v not_o our_o sanctification_n nor_o yet_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o but_o it_o merit_v

the_o scripture_n say_v that_o abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n ergo_fw-la say_v ●_o james_n you_o see_v how_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n
