where_o faith_n be_v want_v the_o papist_n will_v say_v that_o we_o must_v believe_v in_o christ_n and_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o salvation_n but_o it_o justify_v not_o except_o it_o be_v furnish_v with_o charity_n and_o good_a work_n but_o faith_n of_o itself_o be_v god_n gift_n and_o god_n work_n in_o our_o heart_n which_o therefore_o justify_v because_o it_o apprehend_v christ_n man_n reason_n can_v not_o comprehend_v this_o but_o think_v of_o charity_n and_o of_o work_n what_o i_o have_v do_v and_o what_o i_o have_v not_o do_v but_o faith_n have_v no_o other_o object_n than_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n deliver_v to_o death_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n say_v look_v neither_o to_o charity_n nor_o to_o work_n it_o say_v not_o what_o have_v i_o do_v or_o what_o have_v i_o deserve_v but_o what_o have_v christ_n do_v what_o have_v he_o deserve_v the_o gospel_n then_o true_o answer_v that_o he_o have_v deliver_v i_o from_o eternal_a death_n and_o damnation_n &_o therefore_o a_o true_a and_o a_o steadfast_a faith_n must_v lay_v hold_v upon_o nothing_o else_o but_o upon_o christ_n alone_o when_o i_o can_v feel_v and_o confess_v myself_o to_o be_v a_o sinner_n through_o adam_n transgression_n without_o my_o deserve_n why_o shall_v i_o not_o think_v myself_o to_o be_v make_v righteous_a again_o through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n without_o my_o deserving_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o apprehend_v christ_n true_o by_o faith_n although_o he_o be_v never_o so_o much_o press_v down_o with_o the_o weight_n of_o his_o sin_n may_v yet_o take_v comfort_n and_o account_v himself_o to_o be_v righteous_a by_o that_o only_a mean_n that_o he_o possess_v christ_n by_o faith_n if_o this_o faith_n fail_v and_o that_o it_o must_v give_v place_n to_o work_n or_o charity_n or_o to_o another_o help_n beside_o than_o it_o be_v but_o a_o fable_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o god_n also_o find_v to_o be_v but_o a_o liar_n that_o have_v not_o perform_v what_o he_o have_v so_o confident_o promise_v let_v we_o now_o acknowledge_v the_o law_n to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v divine_a and_o holy_a and_o let_v we_o learn_v of_o it_o both_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o love_n god_n and_o to_o demean_v ourselves_o towards_o our_o neighbour_n &_o to_o ask_v counsel_n how_o we_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o sin_n the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o eternal_a damnation_n let_v we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o law_n which_o in_o that_o point_n do_v rather_o terrify_v then_o minister_v comfort_n here_o let_v we_o fly_v to_o the_o gospel_n which_o teach_v we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v pay_v the_o ransom_n with_o his_o precious_a blood_n and_o redeem_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n and_o here_o faith_n alone_o will_v we_o to_o receive_v this_o and_o to_o believe_v it_o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o law_n accuse_v and_o sin_n terrify_v let_v we_o look_v upon_o christ_n lay_v hold_n on_o he_o by_o faith_n we_o have_v then_o present_a with_o we_o the_o conqueror_n of_o the_o law_n sin_n death_n and_o the_o devil_n himself_o whosoever_o will_v diligent_o consider_v of_o the_o whole_a argument_n of_o that_o book_n call_v the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n shall_v find_v that_o it_o teach_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o give_v by_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o when_o peter_n preach_v the_o holy_a ghost_n forthwith_o fall_v upon_o all_o that_o hear_v he_o &_o in_o one_o day_n three_o thousand_o that_o be_v present_a at_o the_o preach_n of_o peter_n believe_v and_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n cornelius_n receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o not_o by_o his_o alm_n

argument_n of_o that_o book_n be_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o in_o christ_n without_o our_o work_n and_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v give_v by_o the_o only_a hear_n of_o

of_o faith_n and_o the_o gospel_n preach_v and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o require_v of_o we_o alas_o this_o be_v but_o a_o easy_a matter_n soon_o perform_v but_o the_o give_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n the_o deliverance_n from_o death_n be_v matter_n of_o great_a moment_n then_o to_o be_v so_o easy_o attain_a unto_o and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v obtain_v these_o inestimable_a benefit_n there_o belong_v more_o to_o it_o then_o either_o hear_v or_o believe_v thus_o argue_v the_o papist_n and_o this_o seem_v conformable_a to_o a_o man_n own_o reason_n and_o this_o opinion_n be_v well_o like_v and_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o devil_n himself_o will_v approve_v it_o thus_o the_o inestimable_a greatness_n of_o the_o gift_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o can_v believe_v it_o and_o because_o this_o incomparable_a treasure_n be_v free_o offer_v therefore_o we_o despise_v it_o but_o let_v christian_n learn_v that_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n christ_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v free_o give_v we_o by_o hear_v of_o faith_n and_o the_o gospel_n preach_v and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o so_o much_o think_v of_o the_o greatness_n of_o

nothing_o at_o all_o for_o the_o obtaininge_n of_o so_o inestimable_a a_o gift_n but_o to_o hear_v the_o gospel_n preach_v let_v they_o therefore_o refrain_v themselves_o from_o go_v to_o church_n that_o they_o may_v not_o partake_v with_o we_o of_o this_o heavenly_a treasure_n but_o for_o those_o that_o will_v exercise_v themselves_o in_o righteousness_n indeed_o let_v they_o first_o

those_o good_a work_n which_o be_v command_v in_o the_o law_n so_o that_o the_o law_n and_o work_n may_v follow_v the_o hear_n of_o faith_n but_o to_o seek_v any_o justification_n by_o the_o law_n or_o by_o work_n we_o leave_v the_o one_o to_o the_o jew_n the_o other_o to_o papist_n the_o papist_n teach_v that_o no_o man_n can_v have_v any_o certain_a knowledge_n whither_o he_o be_v the_o

be_v no_o excuse_n to_o say_v i_o be_v thus_o teach_v by_o my_o ghostly_a father_n or_o this_o be_v the_o faith_n that_o our_o forefather_n have_v die_v in_o when_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v

the_o more_o obdure_v and_o the_o more_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v preach_v unto_o they_o so_o much_o the_o more_o obstinate_a they_o become_v and_o the_o more_o mischief_n they_o intend_v after_o this_o manner_n the_o heart_n of_o pharaoh_n be_v harden_v when_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v deliver_v he_o by_o moses_n he_o have_v no_o grace_n to_o receive_v it_o the_o more_o moses_n endeavour_v

here_o in_o ireland_n where_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n gospel_n have_v be_v so_o long_o preach_v and_o the_o people_n every_o day_n grow_v more_o obstinate_a than_o other_o that_o be_v rather_o give_v up_o to_o beeleeve_v lie_n legend_n fable_n dream_n vision_n old_a wyve_n tale_n and_o a_o number_n of_o such_o other_o mockery_n the_o papist_n have_v ever_o more_o be_v full_a of_o miracle_n but_o in_o their_o legende_n of_o saint_n and_o in_o many_o other_o foolish_a book_n they_o have_v feign_v they_o so_o gross_o that_o they_o be_v ashamed_a to_o hear_v of_o they_o but_o god_n sometime_o suffer_v those_o that_o have_v no_o love_n to_o his_o truth_n to_o be_v deceive_v by_o lie_a miracle_n for_o as_o the_o child_n of_o the_o truth_n shall_v natural_o incline_v unto_o the_o truth_n so_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n who_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o lie_n shall_v natural_o consent_v to_o be_v lead_v away_o with_o lie_n i_o may_v yet_o enlarge_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o other_o

be_v a_o revocation_n of_o my_o oversighte_n i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o behave_v myself_o honest_o in_o this_o business_n for_o to_o square_v in_o out_o to_o there_o contentment_n that_o do_v desire_v it_o will_v wound_v my_o own_o credit_n &_o to_o reiterate_v those_o thing_n that_o may_v plead_v my_o excuse_n will_v soon_o breed_v a_o new_a warfare_n of_o word_n then_o settle_v that_o quiet_a that_o i_o can_v wish_v but_o they_o say_v there_o be_v better_a safety_n in_o a_o unjust_a war_n then_o in_o a_o patch_a peace_n i_o confess_v that_o if_o i_o have_v but_o half_a so_o far_o overshoot_v myself_o as_o report_n be_v give_v out_o a_o revocation_n in_o word_n only_o will_v be_v too_o little_a to_o make_v amends_o for_o i_o will_v acknowledge_v myself_o to_o be_v worthy_a of_o shame_n and_o punishment_n both_o but_o because_o the_o book_n be_v extant_a to_o be_v see_v &_o to_o answer_v for_o itself_o i_o think_v my_o best_a course_n will_v be_v to_o set_v down_o those_o opposition_n that_o have_v be_v object_v against_o i_o aswell_o by_o those_o that_o be_v but_o misinform_v by_o other_o man_n report_n as_o of_o those_o that_o make_v malicious_a collection_n exhibit_v those_o thing_n against_o i_o for_o slander_n that_o be_v shameful_a for_o they_o to_o bring_v into_o question_n if_o they_o have_v be_v well_o advise_v i_o think_v a_o easy_a persuasion_n may_v induce_v wiseman_n to_o believe_v that_o he_o that_o will_v undertake_v to_o inveigh_v against_o popery_n either_o by_o word_n or_o writing_n shall_v want_v no_o enemy_n in_o ireland_n that_o will_v both_o rail_v and_o rage_v against_o he_o and_o will_v so_o over_o load_n he_o with_o lie_n and_o slander_n that_o if_o they_o can_v not_o break_v his_o back_n they_o will_v yet_o be_v sure_a to_o crack_v his_o credit_n among_o the_o rest_n of_o those_o untruth_n that_o be_v object_v against_o i_o one_o be_v how_o i_o shall_v affirm_v in_o my_o book_n that_o there_o be_v neither_o

this_o but_o to_o turn_v they_o to_o my_o book_n that_o they_o have_v so_o slander_v and_o belie_v yet_o for_o better_a satisfaction_n i_o say_v it_o be_v truth_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o manner_n and_o custom_n that_o be_v use_v among_o the_o irish_a in_o some_o part_n of_o the_o country_n that_o be_v not_o yet_o so_o conform_v from_o there_o uncivil_a demeaner_n nor_o so_o perfect_v in_o the_o compliment_n of_o humanity_n but_o that_o they_o retain_v still_o their_o accustom_a uncleanelines_n now_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o in_o some_o part_n of_o england_n itself_o there_o be_v many_o people_n that_o be_v both_o rude_a ignorant_a and_o very_o clownish_a as_o it_o be_v well_o enough_o know_v there_o be_v so_o indeed_o can_v this_o be_v a_o disparagement_n to_o the_o

but_o to_o overlook_v my_o epistle_n to_o the_o reader_n in_o that_o book_n where_o they_o shall_v find_v these_o word_n do_v not_o think_v i_o to_o be_v so_o general_a but_o that_o i_o do_v make_v

embrace_v the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o do_v indevoure_v themselves_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o in_o obedience_n to_o their_o prince_n i_o hope_v i_o may_v revoke_v this_o without_o any_o disgrace_n i_o have_v be_v charge_v with_o a_o lie_n and_o i_o renounce_v it_o a_o second_o objection_n be_v that_o i_o have_v tax_v the_o irish_a in_o general_a to_o be_v more_o savage_a and_o

aswell_o in_o their_o manner_n as_o in_o the_o decency_n of_o their_o apparel_n they_o be_v very_o modest_a and_o comely_a and_o in_o the_o 17._o page_n although_o the_o vulgar_a sort_n through_o
