we_o god_n mercy_n steal_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v paste_n thereby_o prove_v that_o christ_n righteousness_n which_o come_v on_o we_o through_o faith_n help_v we_o only_o

after_o that_o now_o by_o the_o iii_o first_o chapter_n the_o sin_n be_v open_v and_o the_o way_n of_o faith_n unto_o rigteousnes_n lay_v he_o begin_v to_o answer_v unto_o certain_a objection_n and_o

unto_o the_o will_n of_o god_n even_o so_o be_v all_o other_o good_a work_n outward_a sign_n and_o outewarde_a fruit_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n which_o justify_v not_o a_o man_n but_o that_o a_o man_n be_v iustify_v already_o before_o god_n inward_o in_o the_o herte_n through_o faith_n and_o through_o the_o spirit_n purchase_v by_o chrstes_n blood_n herewith_o now_o stablysh_v sayncte_n paul_n his_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n afore_o rehearse_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n and_o bring_v also_o testimony_n of_o david_n in_o the_o xiij_o psalm_n which_o call_v a_o man_n bless_v not_o of_o work_n but_o in_o that_o his_o sin_n be_v not_o reckon_v and_o in_o that_o faith_n be_v impute_v for_o ryghteousnes_n though_o he_o abide_v not_o afterward_o without_o good_a work_n when_o

and_o the_o devyll_n possess_v we_o all_o together_o and_o hold_v our_o herte_n so_o that_o we_o can_v once_o consent_v unto_o the_o will_n of_o god_n no_o man_n therefore_o can_v prevent_v the_o spirit_n in_o do_v good_a but_o the_o spirit_n must_v first_o come_v and_o wake_v he_o out_o of_o his_o sleep_v and_o with_o the_o thunder_n of_o the_o law_n fear_v he_o and_o show_v he_o his_o

against_o the_o law_n remain_v in_o the_o herte_n and_o be_v not_o take_v away_o by_o the_o spirit_n that_o come_v by_o faith_n so_o long_o not_o doubt_n the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n declare_v
