A47166	Quakerism no popery, or, A particular answere to that part of Iohn Menzeis, professor of divinity in Aberdeen, (as he is called) his book, intituled Roma mendax Wherein the people called Quakers are concerned, whom he doth accuse as holding many popish doctrins, and as if Quakerism, (so he nick-names our religion,) were but popery-disguised. In which treatise his alleadged grounds for this his assertion, are impartialy and fairly examined and confuted: and also his accusation of popery against us, justly retorted upon himself, and his bretheren.

be_v one_o thing_n and_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o outward_a work_n of_o righteousness_n do_v by_o we_o even_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o help_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v another_o for_o as_o we_o be_v first_o inward_o righteous_a before_o we_o can_v work_v good_a work_n so_o the_o justification_n by_o inward_a righteousness_n be_v first_o or_o before_o the_o justification_n by_o work_n and_o as_o some_o have_v well_o observe_v as_o it_o be_v not_o the_o good_a fruit_n that_o make_v the_o good_a tree_n but_o the_o good_a tree_n make_v and_o produce_v good_a fruit_n so_o good_a work_n make_v not_o a_o man_n at_o first_o righteous_a but_o a_o man_n must_v be_v first_o righteous_a or_o holy_a and_o then_o he_o br_v forth_o goodworks_a and_o thus_o true_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o agustin_n to_o be_v understand_v that_o good_a work_n go_v not_o before_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v but_o follow_v his_o be_v justify_v even_o as_o good_a fruit_n go_v not_o before_o the_o good_a

to_o the_o begin_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o a_o man_n be_v sanctify_v by_o inward_a righteousness_n and_o thus_o though_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o good_a work_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o inward_a righteousness_n now_o i_o say_v good_a work_n have_v not_o any_o place_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o justification_n i_o

he_o shall_v die_v before_o he_o can_v work_v any_o outward_a good_a work_n he_o shall_v die_v in_o a_o justify_v state_n as_o certain_o infant_n who_o be_v save_v die_v in_o a_o justify_v state_n without_o work_n yet_o not_o without_o inward_a righteousness_n good_a work_n than_o be_v necessary_a not_o to_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o justification_n but_o to_o the_o continuance_n and_o
