which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o usual_a collection_n of_o the_o papist_n from_o this_o and_o the_o like_a place_n be_v that_o therefore_o the_o good_a work_n of_o man_n justify_v and_o in_o grace_n

of_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o this_o determination_n we_o prove_v thus_o 1._o by_o scripture_n which_o most_o express_o teach_v every_o where_n that_o eternal_a life_n be_v a_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n mercy_n not_o a_o reward_n due_a to_o man_n merit_n see_v these_o place_n rom._n 6.23_o and_o 11.5.6_o ephes_n 2.8_o 9_o 2_o tim._n 1.9_o tit._n 2.11_o and_o 3.7_o i_o may_v

the_o absurdity_n of_o that_o collection_n which_o the_o papist_n do_v infer_v from_o our_o apostle_n word_n who_o say_v not_o that_o god_n will_v reward_v very_a man_n for_o his_o work_n but_o

and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o first_o question_n quest_n 2._o if_o god_n reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n how_o can_v god_n be_v just_a in_o punish_v for_o ever_o those_o that_o

against_o who_o it_o be_v commit_v now_o man_n sin_n against_o god_n who_o be_v infinite_a and_o therefore_o justice_n require_v a_o portion_n between_o the_o offence_n and_o the_o punishment_n though_o sin_n be_v temporary_a yet_o it_o be_v most_o just_a with_o god_n to_o punish_v it_o with_o eternal_a torment_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o four_o point_n i_o proceed_v to_o the_o five_o by_o who_o god_n will_v judge_v by_o that_o man_n who_o he_o have_v ordain_v say_v the_o text._n and_o this_o man_n can_v be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n 1_o tim._n 2.5_o so_o

the_o visible_a act_n of_o judge_v then_o to_o judge_v we_o do_v belong_v to_o christ_n only_o for_o he_o only_o shall_v be_v see_v to_o descend_v with_o a_o guard_n of_o angel_n to_o open_v the_o
