you_o be_v save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v 2_o tim._n 1._o 9_o who_o have_v save_v

that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n to_o declare_v his_o righteousness_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o

which_o believe_v in_o jesus_n where_o be_v boast_v then_o it_o be_v exclude_v by_o what_o law_n of_o work_n nay_o but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v

no_o for_o if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n he_o have_v whereof_o to_o glory_v but_o not_o before_o god_n for_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v

the_o way_n the_o word_n ungodly_a in_o this_o text_n must_v not_o be_v take_v to_o mean_v impenitent_a sinner_n for_o they_o as_o such_o can_v have_v no_o right_n to_o justification_n but_o as_o no_o

that_o this_o make_v double_o for_o my_o purpose_n show_v first_o that_o justification_n come_v by_o faith_n and_o also_o that_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v be_v sinner_n before_o god_n can_v with_o

of_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n for_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v i_o do_v not_o frustrate_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n for_o if_o

it_o be_v evident_a for_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n for_o in_o jesus_n christ_n neither_o circumcision_n nor_o uncircumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n but_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o

will_v leave_v you_o to_o judge_n if_o for_o all_o that_o and_o the_o many_o actual_a sin_n we_o daily_o commit_v god_n will_v be_v gracious_a to_o we_o and_o receive_v we_o unto_o his_o glory_n how_o little_a reason_n we_o have_v to_o boast_v of_o that_o nothing_o we_o have_v do_v to_o merit_v his_o favour_n gen._n 6._o 5._o and_o god_n see_v that_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n be_v great_a in_o

of_o all_o this_o and_o then_o how_o heinous_a a_o thing_n that_o be_v which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o so_o much_o displeasure_n in_o god_n i_o submit_v to_o any_o person_n to_o judge_n you_o will_v

there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o offering_n needful_a but_o such_o as_o every_o man_n must_v offer_v for_o himself_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o righteousness_n and_o as_o the_o mass_n be_v not_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o live_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v suppose_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o dead_a if_o christ_n jesus_n have_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o that_o be_v call_v by_o his_o name_n and_o if_o that_o satisfaction_n be_v certain_o apply_v to_o all_o who_o be_v true_a christian_n and_o die_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n crucify_a and_o if_o this_o be_v make_v

the_o scripture_n be_v altogether_o silent_a as_o to_o any_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v do_v for_o we_o after_o death_n to_o which_o purpose_n i_o will_v give_v you_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o

all_o upon_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n blood_n the_o full_a satisfaction_n which_o he_o have_v make_v and_o on_o that_o score_n make_v it_o their_o constant_a endeavour_n to_o become_v worthy_a partaker_n of_o it_o the_o scripture_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o offertory_n for_o the_o dead_a but_o in_o many_o place_n they_o argue_v clear_v the_o contrary_n that_o there_o be_v no_o time_n or_o
