our_o advocate_n for_o since_o he_o say_v whatsoever_o you_o shall_v ask_v the_o father_n in_o my_o name_n he_o will_v give_v it_o you_o how_o much_o more_o effectual_o do_v we_o obtain_v that_o

the_o day_n of_o judgement_n make_v mention_n rather_o of_o work_n than_o of_o faith_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o point_n or_o usual_a custom_n in_o the_o law_n for_o judgement_n not_o only_o to_o be_v just_a but_o also_o by_o the_o judge_n pronunciation_n to_o have_v the_o cause_n make_v manifest_a to_o all_o man_n wherefore_o it_o be_v just_a and_o god_n do_v deal_v with_o we_o after_o the_o order_n of_o man_n wherefore_o he_o do_v not_o only_o give_v just_a judgement_n but_o will_v also_o be_v know_v of_o all_o man_n to_o be_v a_o just_a and_o upright_o judge_n but_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o look_v into_o the_o faith_n of_o other_o man_n which_o do_v consist_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o therefore_o we_o judge_v by_o their_o word_n and_o deed_n honest_a word_n and_o work_n bear_v witness_n of_o a_o faithful_a heart_n whereas_o unhonest_a prank_n and_o speech_n do_v bewray_v a_o kind_n of_o unbelief_n the_o work_n of_o charity_n and_o humanity_n do_v declare_v that_o we_o have_v faith_n in_o deed_n whereas_o the_o lack_n of_o they_o do_v argue_v the_o contrary_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n admonish_v we_o that_o the_o judgement_n shall_v be_v according_a to_o our_o work_n to_o this_o sense_n agree_v that_o in_o the_o 12._o of_o matthew_n where_o it_o be_v say_v by_o thy_o deed_n thou_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o by_o the_o same_o thou_o shall_v be_v condemn_v to_o abraham_n after_o he_o have_v determine_v to_o offer_v his_o son_n isaac_n it_o be_v say_v because_o thou_o have_v do_v this_o thing_n and_o have_v not_o spare_v thine_o only_o beget_v son_n i_o will_v bless_v thou_o and_o multiply_v thou_o exceed_o etc_n etc_n but_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o god_n make_v that_o promise_n to_o abraham_n before_o isaac_n be_v bear_v yea_o he_o make_v it_o as_o soon_o as_o abraham_n be_v bring_v out_o of_o his_o country_n therefore_o the_o promise_n be_v not_o now_o first_o of_o all_o annex_v as_o a_o reward_n unto_o the_o work_n of_o abraham_n etc_n etc_n therefore_o god_n examine_v our_o work_n work_n according_a to_o his_o own_o favourable_a mercy_n and_o not_o with_o the_o extremity_n and_o rigour_n of_o law_n and_o do_v reward_v they_o with_o infinite_a benefit_n because_o they_o proceed_v from_o faith_n in_o christ_n albeit_o that_o for_o the_o sin_n which_o abide_v in_o we_o they_o be_v unpure_a &_o nothing_o
