abominable_a unrighteousness_n for_o even_o immediate_o after_o the_o first_o clear_a preach_v of_o justification_n by_o faith_n we_o find_v a_o strange_a generation_n of_o licentious_a and_o ungodly_a man_n who_o do_v boast_v of_o faith_n in_o christ_n without_o good_a work_n commit_v all_o manner_n of_o sin_n with_o greediness_n and_o without_o remorse_n this_o give_v occasion_n to_o st._n peter_n st._n john_n st._n james_n and_o st._n judas_n who_o all_o writ_n after_o st._n paul_n to_o direct_v their_o style_n chief_o against_o such_o vain_a boaster_n of_o this_o empty_a faith_n

which_o do_v teach_v a_o man_n so_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n as_o to_o have_v his_o life_n answerable_a to_o his_o belief_n this_o account_n do_v st._n peter_n give_v for_o himself_o say_v i_o

have_v chief_o propose_v to_o myself_o in_o my_o writing_n 1._o to_o testify_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n concern_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o only_a doctrine_n to_o bring_v you_o to_o eternal_a salvation_n 2._o to_o persuade_v you_o to_o stand_v fast_o and_o persevere_v in_o that_o doctrine_n by_o lead_v your_o life_n answerable_a to_o your_o profession_n and_o this_o account_n may_v we_o give_v concern_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o author_n of_o the_o catholic_n epistle_n for_o thus_o the_o whole_a argument_n of_o st._n john_n first_o epistle_n consist_v of_o those_o two_o principal_a part_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n the_o promise_n and_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o to_o the_o promise_v we_o must_v refer_v all_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o communion_n with_o god_n of_o the_o expiation_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n to_o the_o precept_n we_o must_v refer_v all_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n of_o live_v godly_a and_o righteous_o according_a to_o that_o faith_n and_o of_o love_a god_n sincere_o or_o not_o love_v the_o world_n that_o we_o may_v live_v godly_a and_o of_o love_v our_o brother_n sincere_o not_o hypocritical_o that_o we_o may_v live_v righteous_o the_o like_a may_v we_o say_v for_o st._n james_n and_o st._n judas_n that_o their_o epistle_n be_v chief_o against_o the_o solifidean_a heretic_n and_o be_v therefore_o fill_v with_o divers_a exhortation_n to_o several_a christian_a virtue_n which_o they_o have_v desert_v and_o with_o dehortation_n from_o the_o the_o contrary_a vice_n which_o they_o have_v commit_v and_o we_o may_v be_v catholic_n in_o this_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n according_a to_o these_o catholic_n epistle_n and_o yet_o still_o deny_v justification_n by_o work_n for_o it_o be_v only_o the_o faith_n in_o christ_n that_o be_v justify_v by_o its_o work_n but_o the_o man_n be_v still_o justify_v only_o by_o his_o faith_n 7._o you_o be_v as_o zealous_a for_o justification_n by_o work_n as_o st._n paul_n be_v against_o it_o with_o what_o good_a conscience_n i_o can_v say_v but_o sure_o upon_o no_o good_a ground_n yet_o you_o have_v appeal_v to_o st._n paul_n himself_o as_o the_o judge_n of_o this_o controversy_n to_o decide_v on_o your_o side_n and_o according_o to_o st._n paul_n you_o shall_v go_v who_o sure_o will_v very_o little_o befriend_v you_o by_o his_o decision_n for_o i_o pray_v what_o work_n can_v any_o man_n do_v which_o be_v not_o comprise_v under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o it_o be_v st._n paul_n most_o absolute_a determination_n therefore_o by_o the_o deed_n or_o work_n of_o the_o law_n there_o shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v rom._n 3._o 20._o he_o that_o look_v upon_o the_o forego_n word_n set_v forth_o the_o abominable_a sin_n that_o be_v in_o the_o best_a of_o man_n then_o live_v the_o jew_n and_o in_o those_o

general_a corruption_n of_o all_o man_n whatsoever_o whereby_o they_o be_v most_o grievous_a transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n and_o most_o odious_a in_o the_o sight_n most_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o their_o transgression_n this_o consider_v he_o must_v be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n who_o will_v not_o see_v the_o evidence_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o contradiction_n who_o will_v gainsay_v the_o power_n of_o st._n paul_n conclusion_n therefore_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n there_o shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v for_o it_o follow_v upon_o these_o premise_n no_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o all_o man_n whatsoever_o be_v transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o no_o man_n whatsoever_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o no_o man_n whatsoever_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o work_n for_o all_o

conformity_n to_o its_o righteousness_n and_o to_o this_o argument_n he_o add_v another_o v_o 27._o which_o may_v be_v put_v into_o this_o syllogism_n the_o law_n of_o work_n do_v not_o whole_o exclude_v man_n boast_v in_o his_o justification_n but_o god_n will_v have_v man_n boast_v whole_o exclude_v in_o his_o justification_n therefore_o the_o law_n of_o work_n do_v not_o justify_v the_o

be_v save_v through_o faith_n not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v what_o remain_v then_o for_o the_o conclusion_n but_o that_o the_o law_n of_o work_n do_v not_o justify_v for_o if_o it_o justify_v not_o abraham_n who_o have_v so_o good_a work_n as_o to_o be_v call_v the_o friend_n of_o god_n much_o less_o will_v it_o justify_v i_o who_o by_o my_o wicked_a deed_n be_o become_v god_n enemy_n we_o have_v yet_o a_o three_o argument_n in_o this_o very_a place_n v_o 29_o &_o 30._o which_o conclude_v thus_o if_o justification_n be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n then_o only_o the_o jew_n who_o alone_o have_v the_o law_n write_v in_o table_n can_v be_v justify_v and_o god_n shall_v regard_v the_o salvation_n of_o no_o other_o people_n save_v of_o the_o jew_n but_o these_o consequent_n be_v direct_o against_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o the_o whole_a scope_n or_o tenor_n of_o his_o word_n therefore_o so_o be_v that_o antecedent_n that_o justification_n
