it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o cause_n shall_v be_v pull_v away_o or_o separate_v from_o their_o effect_n but_o faith_n be_v separate_v from_o justification_n for_o many_o that_o believe_v

think_v that_o this_o may_v be_v deny_v he_o bring_v a_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v not_o against_o the_o nature_n and_o definition_n of_o faith_n but_o that_o justification_n may_v be_v separate_v from_o it_o and_o he_o make_v a_o objection_n out_o of_o the_o 13._o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o corrinthyans_n if_o i_o have_v all_o faith_n so_o that_o i_o can_v remove_v

cit_v this_o also_o out_o of_o matthew_n many_o shall_v come_v in_o that_o day_n and_o shall_v say_v lord_n in_o thy_o name_n we_o have_v prophesy_v and_o have_v cast_v out_o devil_n and_o have_v

shut_v forth_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n which_o yet_o do_v these_o thing_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o they_o be_v not_o justify_v wherefore_o in_o they_o faith_n be_v separate_v from_o righteousness_n but_o this_o he_o
tongue_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o paul_n speak_v truth_n that_o if_o they_o have_v tongue_n and_o i_o shall_v speak_v with_o they_o yet_o that_o shall_v nothing_o profit_v i_o without_o charity_n and_o this_o exposition_n basilius_n confirm_v in_o a_o epistle_n a●_n neocaesarienses_n for_o h●_n say_v that_o the_o apostle_n mind_v in_o this_o place_n to_o commend_v charity_n and_o he_o say_v that_o he_o use_v those_o reason_n not_o that_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o here_o make_v mention_n of_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o charity_n wherefore_o of_o the_o former_a interpretation_n we_o have_v chrysostome_n for_o a_o author_n and_o the_o latter_a interpretation_n basilius_n confirm_v let_v pighius_fw-la go_v now_o and_o of_o this_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n conclude_v if_o he_o can_v that_o which_o he_o so_o much_o contend_v for_o but_o as_o touch_v those_o word_n of_o matthew_n lord_n have_v we_o not_o in_o thy_o name_n prophesy_v and_o in_o thy_o name_n cast_v out_o

the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n we_o may_v answer_v with_o the_o self_n same_o solution_n which_o we_o have_v now_o bring_v namely_o y●_z they_o who_o matthew_n make_v mention_n of_o have_v the_o faith_n of_o sign_n or_o a_o dead_a faith_n but_o not_o a_o true_a and_o justify_v faith_n moreover_o i_o see_v not_o how_o true_a this_o be_v that_o miracle_n can_v not_o be_v do_v without_o faith_n for_o god_n sometime_o work_v miracle_n not_o for_o his_o faith_n sake_n by_o who_o they_o be_v sake_n miracle_n be_v not_o always_o do_v for_o faith_n sake_n do_v but_o either_o to_o illustrate_v

yet_o god_n to_o the_o end_n he_o will_v stand_v to_o his_o promise_n with_o a_o great_a miracle_n give_v water_n unto_o the_o people_n and_o reprove_v moses_n and_o aaron_n of_o infidelity_n and_o

elizeus_fw-la by_o a_o great_a miracle_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o at_o y●_z touch_v of_o the_o dead_a bone_n of_o the_o prophet_n life_n be_v restore_v unto_o it_o but_o there_o be_v no_o

faith_n be_v absent_a be_v grant_v unto_o they_o that_o ask_v to_o do_v miracle_n for_o in_o the_o act_n we_o read_v that_o when_o the_o son_n of_o the_o high_a priest_n skeva_n the_o exorcist_n will_v have_v cast_v out_o devil_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n who_o paul_n preach_v the_o devil_n answer_v jesus_n i_o know_v and_o paul_n i_o know_v but_o who_o be_v you_o and_o straight_o way_n run_v upon_o they_o here_o we_o see_v that_o god_n will_v not_o geve_v a_o miracle_n when_o it_o be_v ask_v as_o it_o be_v most_o likely_a of_o wicked_a and_o unbeleve_a man_n howbeit_o contrariwise_o we_o have_v in_o mark_v the_o 9_o chap._n that_o a_o certain_a man_n do_v cast_v out_o devil_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n who_o yet_o follow_v not_o christ_n and_o when_o john_n will_v have_v
