can_v find_v the_o name_n of_o merit_n only_o because_o the_o vulgar_a latin_a have_v it_o and_o they_o do_v in_o this_o place_n stand_v to_o prove_v the_o doctrine_n of_o merit_n upon_o that_o word_n merit_n give_v i_o leave_v a_o little_a to_o show_v you_o that_o good_a work_n can_v be_v meritorious_a i_o will_v give_v you_o these_o reason_n one_o principal_a condition_n in_o a_o meritorious_a work_n be_v this_o i_o must_v be_v do_v by_o a_o man_n self_n how_o can_v a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o merit_v any_o thing_n by_o a_o work_n that_o himself_o do_v not_o but_o another_o do_v it_o by_o he_o or_o in_o he_o now_o you_o know_v there_o be_v no_o good_a work_n that_o we_o do_v of_o ourselves_o god_n work_v all_o our_o good_a work_n in_o we_o hark_v how_o the_o faithful_a pray_v in_o the_o prophet_n lord_n thou_o have_v wrought_v all_o our_o work_n in_o we_o isai_n 26.12_o our_o new_a translation_n read_v in_o we_o our_o old_a for_o we_o the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a will_v bear_v either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o take_v it_o as_o you_o will_v in_o we_o or_o for_o we_o god_n have_v wrought_v the_o work_n lord_n thou_o have_v wrought_v all_o our_o work_n in_o we_o and_o for_o we_o first_o of_o all_o it_o be_v from_o god_n grace_n that_o we_o be_v enable_v to_o do_v good_a work_n what_o work_v soever_o they_o be_v it_o be_v grace_n that_o enable_v we_o to_o do_v they_o and_o then_o when_o we_o be_v enable_v it_o be_v from_o grace_n that_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v they_o both_o our_o ability_n and_o our_o willingness_n to_o do_v good_a be_v from_o god_n look_v how_o the_o apostle_n speak_v 2_o cor._n 8._o say_v he_o there_o i_o will_v have_v you_o know_v the_o grace_n that_o be_v bestow_v on_o the_o church_n of_o macedonia_n the_o grace_n that_o be_v bestow_v on_o they_o what_o grace_n be_v that_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o two_o next_o verse_n nothing_o else_o but_o their_o willing_a bounty_n even_o above_o their_o power_n to_o do_v good_a for_o say_v the_o apostle_n verse_n 3._o to_o their_o power_n i_o bear_v they_o record_v yea_o quoth_v he_o above_o their_o power_n there_o be_v the_o grace_n that_o be_v bestow_v on_o they_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v good_a so_o then_o have_v we_o ability_n to_o do_v good_a it_o be_v of_o grace_n have_v we_o willing_a heart_n to_o do_v good_a it_o be_v of_o grace_n do_v we_o then_o any_o good_a we_o must_v shout_n as_o the_o people_n zech._n 4.2_o and_o cry_v grace_n grace_n unto_o it_o double_o the_o word_n grace_n grace_n grace_n in_o enable_v we_o and_o grace_n in_o make_v we_o willing_a too_o all_o be_v of_o god_n so_o if_o a_o man_n do_v a_o good_a work_n he_o be_v more_o indebt_v to_o god_n for_o it_o god_n be_v not_o indebt_v to_o he_o but_o he_o to_o god_n in_o make_v he_o able_a and_o he_o be_v indebt_v to_o grace_n for_o make_v he_o willing_a he_o can_v merit_v nothing_o then_o mark_v a_o second_o reason_n how_o good_a work_n can_v be_v meritorious_a merit_n be_v opus_fw-la indebitum_fw-la it_o be_v above_o a_o man_n desert_n it_o be_v a_o work_n that_o be_v not_o due_a that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o do_v for_o a_o man_n can_v merit_v nothing_o by_o do_v that_o that_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v already_o he_o shall_v transgress_v if_o he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o but_o he_o merit_v nothing_o by_o do_v that_o that_o he_o stand_v bind_v in_o many_o bond_n to_o do_v already_o do_v the_o master_n thank_v his_o servant_n for_o do_v that_o that_o be_v command_v luke_n 17.9_o even_o so_o say_v he_o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o you_o can_v say_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n if_o we_o will_v merit_v any_o thing_n at_o god_n hand_n we_o must_v do_v somewhat_o that_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o do_v ay_o but_o how_o far_o short_a come_v we_o in_o the_o thing_n we_o do_v of_o that_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o do_v more_o that_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o we_o can_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n how_o much_o more_o unprofitable_a say_v jerome_n when_o we_o come_v short_a of_o that_o which_o god_n have_v command_v three_o good_a work_n can_v be_v meritorious_a i_o prove_v it_o thus_o there_o must_v be_v some_o proportion_n between_o the_o work_n that_o be_v do_v and_o the_o reward_n that_o be_v give_v of_o condignity_n now_o i_o pray_v consider_v but_o what_o that_o reward_n be_v that_o god_n have_v promise_v not_o according_a to_o the_o worthiness_n of_o our_o work_n you_o must_v not_o think_v so_o but_o of_o faith_n of_o free_a mercy_n he_o have_v promise_v a_o reward_n and_o what_o be_v it_o look_v in_o 2_o cor._n 4.17_o see_v what_o it_o be_v the_o apostle_n call_v it_o there_o a_o far_o more_o exceed_v eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n these_o light_n momentany_a affliction_n say_v he_o procure_v to_o we_o a_o far_o more_o exceed_v eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n mark_v first_o it_o be_v glory_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v for_o a_o reward_n second_o it_o be_v more_o than_o so_o it_o be_v a_o weight_n of_o glory_n nay_o yet_o more_o than_o so_o it_o be_v a_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n nay_o yet_o further_o a_o exceed_a eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n so_o far_o our_o english_a can_v carry_v it_o but_o our_o english_a can_v carry_v it_o so_o far_o as_o the_o greek_a for_o there_o it_o be_v a_o exceed_a exceed_v the_o apostle_n can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o make_v of_o it_o it_o be_v so_o much_o he_o make_v as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v a_o glory_n a_o weight_n of_o glory_n a_o eternal_a a_o exceed_a eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n a_o exceed_a exceed_a weight_n of_o glory_n now_o i_o will_v ask_v i_o pray_v what_o proportion_n can_v be_v between_o a_o little_a poor_a temporal_a service_n that_o we_o do_v and_o such_o a_o eternal_a exceed_a exceed_v eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n i_o will_v say_v no_o more_o concern_v this_o point_n of_o merit_n let_v we_o never_o talk_v of_o merit_n they_o be_v all_o lose_v in_o the_o first_o adam_n we_o lose_v all_o merit_n in_o he_o let_v grace_n alone_o reign_v in_o christ_n let_v we_o say_v with_o bernard_n my_o merit_n be_v the_o lord_n mercy_n let_v i_o have_v no_o merit_n that_o will_v exclude_v grace_n and_o say_v he_o there_o be_v no_o place_n for_o grace_n to_o enter_v in_o when_o merit_n have_v take_v up_o all_o the_o room_n before_o it_o come_v therefore_o that_o be_v no_o right_a end_n three_o there_o be_v a_o three_o end_n that_o some_o propound_v of_o do_v good_a that_o be_v glory_n from_o man_n vain_a man_n seek_v vainglory_n thus_o do_v the_o pharisee_n they_o will_v do_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a but_o they_o will_v do_v it_o so_o that_o they_o may_v be_v see_v of_o man_n to_o do_v it_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o man_n to_o be_v see_v to_o do_v good_a and_o our_o lord_n will_v have_v we_o so_o to_o do_v good_a that_o we_o may_v be_v see_v of_o man_n to_o do_v it_o to_o let_v our_o light_n so_o shine_v before_o man_n that_o they_o may_v see_v our_o good_a work_n and_o glorify_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n if_o you_o be_v afraid_a of_o spectator_n you_o shall_v have_v no_o imitator_n if_o there_o be_v none_o to_o

shall_v have_v their_o reward_n of_o man_n they_o shall_v have_v none_o of_o their_o father_n god_n there_o belong_v two_o thing_n to_o every_o good_a work_n there_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o

to_o do_v they_o what_o be_v the_o end_n then_o of_o good_a work_n brief_o in_o one_o word_n the_o end_n

do_v good_a the_o inward_a affection_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o outward_a act_n of_o the_o hand_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v part_v they_o shall_v go_v together_o not_o only_o the_o inward_a

the_o heart_n but_o thus_o much_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o one_o case_n wherein_o god_n accept_v the_o inward_a affection_n without_o the_o outward_a act_n of_o the_o hand_n sometime_o god_n enable_v not_o a_o man_n to_o give_v a_o gift_n than_o he_o accept_v of_o the_o good_a affection_n and_o a_o pitiful_a heart_n to_o our_o brethren_n where_o god_n do_v not_o find_v a_o ability_n to_o perform_v there_o he_o accept_v of_o a_o willing_a love_a tender_a charitable_a heart_n to_o our_o brethren_n he_o accept_v of_o the_o inward_a affection_n to_o our_o brethren_n i_o can_v tell_v you_o i_o say_v this_o case_n wherein_o god_n accept_v of_o the_o inward_a affection_n without_o the_o outward_a action_n but_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o any_o case_n wherein_o god_n ever_o accept_v of_o the_o outward_a action_n without_o the_o inward_a affection_n the_o outward_a act_n of_o the_o hand_n it_o may_v be_v may_v be_v more_o acceptable_a to_o the_o man_n that_o stand_v in_o need_n and_o receive_v but_o the_o inward_a affection_n be_v that_o that_o make_v it_o a_o sacrifice_n please_v and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n that_o be_v my_o second_o rule_n i_o come_v to_o the_o three_o and_o four_o i_o will_v
