the_o reason_n which_o he_o use_v that_o we_o be_v create_v to_o good_a work_n and_o again_o that_o they_o be_v ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o the_o three_o before_o a_o work_n can_v meritte_v it_o must_v please_v god_n before_o the_o work_n please_v god_n the_o worker_n must_v please_v he_o before_o the_o worker_n please_v he_o he_o must_v be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o perfect_o justify_v justification_n therefore_o go_v in_o order_n before_o good_a work_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n work_n can_v be_v bring_v within_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n as_o cause_n good_a work_n make_v not_o good_a man_n in_o whole_a or_o in_o part_n but_o man_n first_o of_o all_o make_v good_a by_o the_o goodness_n of_o christ_n impute_v make_v good_a work_n by_o their_o goodness_n the_o four_o be_v this_o the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o most_o excellent_a of_o all_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n yet_o be_v consider_v by_o itself_o it_o can_v possible_o merit_v at_o god_n hand_n in_o a_o work_n proper_o meritorious_a there_o be_v three_o condition_n first_o the_o doer_n thereof_o must_v do_v it_o by_o himself_o and_o not_o by_o another_o for_o then_o the_o praise_n be_v he_o by_o who_o he_o do_v it_o and_o not_o his_o own_o second_o the_o work_n to_o be_v do_v must_v not_o be_v a_o debt_n or_o duty_n for_o then_o the_o doer_n deserve_v nothing_o three_o there_o must_v be_v a_o proportion_n between_o the_o work_n and_o the_o reward_n of_o life_n eternal_a now_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n consider_v apart_o by_o itself_o can_v perform_v these_o three_o condition_n for_o it_o do_v what_o it_o do_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n whereby_o it_o be_v conceive_v and_o be_v fill_v without_o measure_n again_o it_o be_v a_o creature_n and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v have_v or_o can_v do_v it_o owe_v all_o to_o god_n last_o it_o can_v do_v a_o work_v proportional_a to_o eternal_a glory_n because_o it_o take_v all_o of_o god_n and_o can_v give_v nothing_o to_o he_o if_o then_o it_o be_v demand_v how_o this_o manhood_n of_o christ_n merit_v in_o our_o behalf_n i_o answer_v not_o by_o itself_o but_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o personal_a union_n whereby_o it_o be_v exalt_v and_o prefer_v into_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o second_o person_n the_o eternal_a word_n of_o the_o father_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n merit_v none_o can_v merit_v of_o god_n but_o god_n now_o then_o if_o christ_n merit_v only_o in_o this_o regard_n no_o mere_a creature_n man_n or_o angel_n can_v possible_o merit_v by_o any_o work_n the_o five_o reason_n be_v this_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n one_o when_o a_o work_n be_v direct_o against_o the_o law_n the_o other_o be_v when_o that_o be_v do_v which_o the_o law_n require_v but_o not_o in_o that_o manner_n and_o perfection_n the_o law_n require_v the_o second_o kind_n of_o transgression_n be_v in_o every_o good_a work_n which_o be_v do_v by_o man_n upon_o earth_n now_o where_o any_o transgression_n be_v there_o must_v be_v pardon_n where_o pardon_n be_v there_o be_v no_o merit_n that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o certainty_n of_o our_o loss_n may_v yet_o the_o better_a be_v clear_v i_o will_v set_v down_o the_o suppose_a ground_n of_o merit_n and_o discover_v their_o weakness_n they_o be_v two_o the_o first_o be_v the_o promise_n that_o god_n have_v make_v to_o work_n whereby_o he_o have_v bind_v himself_o to_o reward_v they_o with_o eternal_a glory_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o very_a promise_n be_v make_v of_o the_o good_a pleasure_n and_o mere_a good_a will_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o same_o goodness_n it_o be_v that_o any_o man_n be_v a_o doer_n of_o any_o good_a work_n either_o by_o nature_n or_o grace_n therefore_o if_o a_o man_n can_v fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n he_o shall_v not_o merit_v at_o god_n hand_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n exod._n 20._o 6._o that_o he_o will_v show_v mercy_n upon_o thousand_o of_o they_o that_o love_v he_o and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n the_o second_o ground_n be_v that_o virtue_n of_o merit_v be_v derive_v from_o christ_n the_o head_n to_o his_o member_n by_o divine_a influence_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n unpossible_a for_o the_o virtue_n of_o merit_v be_v in_o christ_n not_o simple_o as_o he_o be_v man_n but_o as_o he_o be_v in_o one_o person_n god_n and_o man._n the_o work_n which_o merit_v be_v do_v or_o act_v even_o by_o the_o manhood_n but_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o work_n be_v from_o the_o godhead_n or_o from_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o person_n now_o than_o if_o this_o virtue_n be_v in_o christ_n not_o as_o he_o be_v man_n but_o in_o respect_n he_o be_v man-god_n or_o god-man_n it_o can_v not_o be_v derive_v to_o we_o that_o be_v but_o man_n unless_o every_o believer_n shall_v be_v deify_v &_o make_v of_o a_o mere_a man_n god-man_n which_o be_v impossible_a therefore_o there_o be_v no_o capablenes_n or_o possibility_n of_o merit_n in_o the_o work_n of_o any_o mere_a man_n or_o creature_n whatsoever_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n ever_o detest_v humane_a merit_n the_o merit_n of_o congruity_n before_o justification_n be_v a_o pelagian_n conceit_n and_o be_v never_o maintain_v of_o the_o orthodox_n father_n stapleton_n confess_v thus_o much_o 4._o the_o merit_n of_o congruity_n

to_o let_v pass_v that_o all_o merit_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o so_o man_n be_v rather_o debtor_n to_o god_n for_o they_o than_o god_n to_o man_n what_o be_v all_o merit_n to_o so_o great_a
