reverend_a brethren_n in_o the_o work_n lord_n good_a work_n here_o come_v into_o no_o jeopardy_n to_o be_v little_o set_v by_o because_o of_o this_o doctrine_n which_o teach_v that_o faith_n alone_o

work_v righteousness_n but_o before_o he_o do_v work_v righteousness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v good_a work_n he_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v righteous_a therefore_o the_o righteous_a do_v not_o

any_o where_o else_o but_o in_o christ_n alone_o wherefore_o the_o law_n do_v lead_v we_o by_o faith_n direct_o unto_o christ_n and_o yet_o more_o plain_o he_o say_v the_o law_n be_v our_o

it_o be_v open_o like_a unto_o the_o gospel_n and_o take_v to_o itself_o the_o office_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o no_o marvel_n since_o to_o many_o man_n through_o their_o own_o fault_n the_o gospel_n

know_v that_o in_o they_o be_v prefigure_v the_o purge_n of_o sin_n therefore_o even_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n also_o lead_v they_o to_o christ_n testify_v &_o teach_v they_o that_o he_o alone_o do_v cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o our_o sin_n whereupon_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o office_n of_o moses_n and_o of_o the_o law_n both_o be_v &_o be_v to_o open_v to_o we_o our_o sin_n &_o judgement_n &_o yet_o not_o to_o condemn_v we_o only_o but_o also_o by_o occasion_n to_o lead_v we_o to_o christ_n by_o which_o we_o learn_v also_o that_o the_o law_n do_v not_o only_o teach_v we_o the_o first_o riâ—â—tâ—ousâ—â—se_n principle_n and_o rudiment_n of_o righteousness_n but_o the_o very_a true_a &_o absolute_a righteousness_n for_o moses_n do_v express_o say_v that_o he_o teach_v a_o most_o

to_o christ_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n now_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o most_o perfect_a righteousness_n therefore_o where_o world_n as_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n be_v in_o some_o place_n call_v the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v for_o two_o especial_a cause_n the_o first_o whereof_o be_v because_o the_o law_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o
