be_v fruitful_a in_o every_o good_a work_n here_o therefore_o we_o diligent_o teach_v not_o false_a and_o philosophical_a but_o true_a virtue_n true_a good_a work_n and_o the_o true_a duty_n of_o a_o

a_o reward_n because_o those_o good_a thing_n which_o we_o do_v we_o do_v they_o rathe●_n by_o god_n then_o by_o ourselves_o and_o because_o paul_n say_v what_o 〈◊〉_d thou_o that_o thou_o have_v not_o

of_o this_o place_n that_o we_o must_v not_o boast_v of_o any_o thing_n see_v nothing_o be_v our_o own_o we_o therefore_o condemn_v those_o who_o defend_v the_o merit_n of_o man_n that_o they_o may_v

again_o in_o vain_a do_v they_o worship_v i_o see_v they_o do_v only_o teach_v the_o commandment_n of_o man_n 64._o but_o such_o work_n as_o be_v teach_v of_o man_n what_o show_v soever_o they_o
