for_o where_o these_o do_v reign_v the_o man_n be_v whole_o unregenerate_a and_o where_o regeneration_n be_v not_o there_o faith_n which_o by_o regeneration_n be_v wrought_v can_v be_v it_o be_v

to_o take_v away_o by_o three_o reason_n first_o by_o cavil_v with_o luther_n and_o calvin_n first_o 2._o luther_n say_v that_o faith_n justify_v both_o before_o and_o without_o charity_n i_o rejoin_v it_o justify_v before_o because_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n it_o go_v before_o without_o because_o though_o charity_n be_v present_a with_o it_o yet_o it_o justify_v without_o it_o even_o as_o the_o eye_n though_o the_o ear_n be_v with_o it_o yet_o see_v without_o it_o second_o 28._o calvin_n say_v that_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n remain_v in_o the_o great_a fall_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o therefore_o without_o charity_n i_o rejoin_v calvin_n say_v no_o more_o than_o s._n john_n do_v â—…â—…_n that_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n do_v always_o remain_v in_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o

we_o see_v in_o peter_n in_o who_o though_o he_o fall_v most_o grievous_o in_o deny_v and_o sorswear_v his_o lord_n yet_o the_o seed_n yea_o the_o habit_n of_o faith_n and_o love_n do_v remain_v as_o i_o have_v prove_v 7._o elsewhere_o second_o say_v he_o because_o our_o argument_n assume_v not_o that_o faith_n may_v be_v alone_o but_o that_o if_o faith_n do_v justify_v alone_o it_o will_v do_v so_o though_o it_o be_v alonâ—…_n this_o reason_n do_v not_o confute_v our_o assertion_n that_o faith_n can_v be_v alone_o but_o take_v away_o that_o answer_n which_o he_o false_o i_o think_v assign_v

so_o then_o faith_n shall_v go_v before_o love_n and_o other_o grace_n if_o not_o in_o time_n yet_o in_o nature_n but_o faith_n can_v be_v conceive_v to_o be_v in_o nature_n before_o justification_n
