be_v here_o and_o there_o intermix_v as_o it_o be_v on_o purpose_n to_o prevent_v our_o put_v such_o a_o interpretation_n upon_o his_o word_n and_o first_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n in_o chap._n 2._o ver._n 6._o he_o tell_v we_o plain_o that_o god_n will_v render_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n tribulation_n and_o anguish_n upon_o every_o soul_n of_o man_n that_o do_v evil_a and_o glory_n honour_n and_o peace_n to_o every_o man_n that_o work_v good_a which_o passage_n will_v be_v very_o odd_o put_v in_o in_o a_o discourse_n wherein_o he_o be_v prove_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o faith_n alone_o for_o justification_n if_o thereby_o he_o have_v mean_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o may_v be_v without_o good_a work_n but_o in_o the_o 13_o verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n he_o contradict_v that_o opinion_n most_o express_o not_o the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n say_v he_o shall_v be_v just_a before_o god_n but_o the_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v

therefore_o be_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o include_v work_n in_o it_o the_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v justify_v and_o so_o again_o chap._n 3._o v._o 21._o after_o he_o have_v say_v that_o both_o circumcision_n and_o uncircumcision_n must_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v any_o other_o way_n that_o they_o may_v not_o take_v faith_n in_o such_o a_o narrow_a sense_n as_o to_o exclude_v good_a work_n he_o add_v do_v we_o then_o make_v void_a the_o law_n through_o faith_n god_n forbid_v yea_o we_o establish_v the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o same_o

of_o all_o other_o way_n and_o the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o accept_v the_o gospel_n truth_n in_o order_n to_o justification_n he_o go_v on_o to_o show_v the_o blessedness_n of_o those_o who_o believe_v in_o christ_n in_o these_o word_n there_o be_v therefore_o now_o no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n but_o then_o leave_v they_o shall_v mistake_v he_o and_o think_v that_o a_o bare_a belief_n in_o christ_n or_o the_o profession_n of_o his_o religion_n only_o be_v enough_o to_o entitle_v they_o to_o this_o blessedness_n he_o add_v who_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n the_o like_a care_n he_o have_v also_o take_v in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n where_o he_o handle_v this_o controversy_n again_o with_o a_o special_a respect_n to_o the_o jewish_a law_n where_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o to_o prevent_v all_o misunderstand_a of_o what_o he_o have_v deliver_v touch_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o faith_n without_o work_n he_o take_v frequent_a occasion_n to_o declare_v his_o meaning_n to_o be_v only_o to_o exclude_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n not_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o gospel_n particular_o in_o the_o two_o last_o chapter_n he_o be_v very_o large_a in_o explain_v what_o kind_n of_o liberty_n he_o have_v be_v before_o plead_v for_o stand_v fast_o therefore_o say_v he_o in_o the_o liberty_n wherewith_o christ_n have_v make_v we_o free_a and_o be_v not_o entangle_v again_o with_o the_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n galat._n 5._o 1._o and_o what_o bondage_n he_o mean_v appear_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n behold_v i_o paul_n say_v unto_o you_o that_o if_o you_o be_v circumcise_v christi_n shall_v profit_v you_o nothing_o that_o be_v if_o you_o still_o trust_v to_o be_v save_v by_o your_o jewish_a observance_n you_o disclaim_v and_o renounce_v the_o covenant_n which_o christ_n have_v make_v for_o you_o and_o so_o can_v expect_v no_o benefit_n from_o it_o whosoever_o of_o you_o say_v he_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v hope_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n you_o be_v fall_v from_o grace_n for_o we_o through_o the_o spirit_n wait_v for_o the_o hope_n of_o righteousness_n by_o faith_n we_o that_o be_v we_o christian_n no_o less_o than_o you_o jew_n do_v wait_v for_o the_o hope_n of_o righteousness_n that_o be_v for_o a_o reward_n of_o our_o righteousness_n but_o than_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o righteousness_n as_o you_o a_o righteousness_n consist_v in_o the_o observation_n of_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n but_o through_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v by_o a_o spiritual_a righteousness_n and_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v be_v such_o a_o righteousness_n as_o be_v wrought_v in_o we_o by_o faith_n that_o be_v by_o our_o belief_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n for_o say_v he_o ver._n 6._o in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o faith_n not_o any_o faith_n but_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o love_n or_o faith_n which_o be_v make_v perfect_a by_o love_n which_o word_n he_o repeat_v again_o in_o chap._n 6._o ver._n 15._o only_o instead_o of_o faith_n put_v in_o another_o word_n not_o so_o ambiguous_a in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o a_o new_a creature_n and_o the_o same_o apostle_n in_o another_o parallel_a place_n in_o another_o of_o his_o epistle_n put_v it_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n what_o he_o mean_v in_o the_o first_o of_o these_o place_n by_o faith_n when_o he_o express_v the_o same_o by_o obedience_n circumcision_n be_v nothing_o and_o uncircumcision_n but_o the_o keep_n the_o commandment_n of_o god_n 1_o cor._n 7._o 19_o and_o now_o by_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v i_o suppose_v it_o sufficient_o appear_v that_o by_o faith_n st._n paul_n mean_v something_o more_o than_o only_a a_o bare_a belief_n of_o the_o gospel-truths_n when_o he_o make_v it_o the_o sole_a condition_n of_o justification_n and_o that_o by_o work_n he_o do_v not_o mean_a work_n of_o evangelical_n obedience_n when_o he_o exclude_v they_o from_o be_v necessary_a in_o order_n to_o it_o so_o that_o paul_n do_v not_o any_o more_o than_o st._n james_n exclude_v such_o good_a work_n as_o be_v the_o natural_a effect_n of_o a_o true_a lively_a and_o christian_a faith_n from_o be_v necessary_a together_o with_o faith_n in_o order_n to_o our_o full_a and_o final_a justification_n at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o from_o all_o that_o have_v or_o be_v say_v i_o think_v it_o appear_v that_o st._n paul_n and_o st._n james_n agree_v very_o well_o together_o which_o be_v the_o point_n that_o i_o propose_v to_o make_v good_a st._n james_n indeed_o say_v here_o that_o faith_n alone_o or_o a_o bare_a belief_n of_o the_o gospel_n will_v not_o do_v without_o work_n answerable_a to_o our_o belief_n you_o see_v how_o that_o by_o work_v a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o st._n paul_n on_o the_o other_o side_n say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n but_o though_o this_o manner_n of_o expression_n be_v different_a from_o and_o in_o the_o letter_n seem_o contradictory_n to_o st._n james_n meaning_n be_v plain_o the_o same_o he_o affirm_v indeed_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n but_o then_o as_o i_o have_v show_v he_o mean_v the_o same_o thing_n by_o faith_n that_o st._n james_n do_v by_o faith_n and_o work_n too_o he_o mean_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o a_o abraham_n be_v for_o that_o be_v his_o example_n as_o well_o as_o st._n james_n he_o mean_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o however_o it_o be_v try_v approve_v itself_o by_o a_o ready_a obedience_n as_o abraham_n do_v and_o the_o work_n which_o he_o reject_v as_o useless_a and_o unnecessary_a or_o as_o not_o sufficient_a be_v not_o such_o as_o abraham_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o a_o lively_a faith_n but_o either_o mere_a ritual_a observance_n or_o else_o such_o work_n as_o though_o material_o good_a be_v not_o do_v out_o of_o a_o good_a and_o virtuous_a principle_n in_o a_o word_n he_o oppose_v faith_n his_o justfy_n and_o save_v faith_n not_o to_o evangelical_n obedience_n but_o either_o to_o unsinning_a obedience_n by_o which_o none_o can_v be_v justify_v because_o all_o be_v sinner_n or_o to_o a_o opinion_n of_o merit_n which_o there_o can_v never_o be_v any_o ground_n for_o or_o last_o to_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o moses_n law_n which_o law_n he_o show_v be_v not_o then_o oblige_v and_o so_o can_v not_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o justification_n the_o use_n we_o shall_v

the_o doctrine_n thaught_v by_o both_o these_o apostle_n be_v require_v of_o we_o in_o order_n to_o salvation_n which_o be_v not_o only_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o to_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n but_o likewise_o to_o live_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o bring_v forth_o plenteous_o all_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n and_o this_o
