abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v reckon_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n and_o therefore_o 15._o he_o say_v a_o little_a before_o we_o believe_v that_o a_o 2._o man_n be_v justify_v by_o

that_o perform_v the_o thing_n that_o the_o law_n command_v shall_v live_v by_o that_o performance_n and_o further_o he_o say_v that_o a_o man_n 3._o can_v become_v righteous_a by_o the_o deed_n of_o

vain_a moreover_o to_o the_o roman_n make_v comparison_n between_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o righteousness_n of_o 10._o the_o gospel_n he_o say_v that_o the_o one_o consist_v in_o the_o do_n of_o work_n and_o the_o other_o in_o believe_v for_o if_o thou_o confess_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n with_o thy_o mouth_n and_o believe_v in_o thy_o heart_n that_o god_n have_v

believe_v although_o he_o have_v not_o do_v any_o good_a work_n at_o all_o for_o so_o it_o be_v that_o the_o thief_n become_v righteous_a without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n forasmuch_o as_o the_o

that_o can_v boast_v himself_o to_o be_v righteous_a when_o he_o hear_v god_n say_v by_o his_o prophet_n isaiah_n that_o all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o a_o defile_a 64._o cloth_n of_o a_o

the_o law_n needful_a forasmuch_o as_o the_o sinner_n become_v righteous_a before_o god_n through_o only_a faith_n according_a to_o god_n gracious_a purpose_n as_o david_n say_v the_o apostle_n confirm_v that_o which_o he_o have_v say_v by_o the_o prophet_n example_n say_v bless_a be_v the_o man_n who_o god_n 31._o accept_v for_o righteous_a without_o work_n whereby_o david_n mean_v that_o those_o man_n be_v very_o happy_a who_o god_n have_v determine_v to_o accept_v for_o righteous_a before_o he_o by_o only_a faith_n without_o any_o painstaking_a or_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n on_o their_o behalf_n thus_o show_v he_o the_o blessedness_n of_o the_o time_n wherein_o christ_n be_v bear_v insomuch_o as_o the_o lord_n himself_o say_v many_o righteous_a man_n and_o prophet_n have_v covet_v to_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o you_o see_v and_o to_o hear_v the_o thing_n that_o you_o hear_v and_o have_v not_o hear_v they_o the_o self-same_a thing_n say_v st._n ambrose_n in_o expound_v the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n affirm_v open_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n be_v become_v righteous_a without_o work_n and_o without_o any_o desert_n and_o receive_v forgivenasse_n of_o his_o sin_n by_o faith_n alone_o

also_o he_o affirm_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o a_o epistle_n which_o he_o write_v to_o irenaeus_n say_v let_v no_o man_n boast_v of_o his_o own_o work_n for_o no_o man_n become_v righteous_a by_o his_o own_o work_n but_o he_o that_o have_v righteousness_n have_v it_o of_o free_a gift_n forsomuch_o as_o he_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o jesus_n christ_n then_o be_v it_o faith_n that_o deliver_v by_o christ_n blood_n for_o happy_a be_v he_o who_o sin_n be_v forgive_v and_o pardon_v and_o s._n bernard_n in_o his_o threescore_o and_o seventeen_o sermon_n upon_o the_o ballet_n of_o ballet_n bernard_n confirm_v the_o same_o say_v that_o our_o own_o merit_n bear_v no_o sway_n at_o all_o in_o make_v we_o righteous_a which_o thing_n must_v be_v attribute_v whole_o unto_o grace_n which_o make_v we_o righteous_a free_o and_o likewise_o discharge_v we_o from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n and_o he_o add_v that_o jesus_n christ_n marry_v the_o soul_n and_o couple_v it_o unto_o himself_o by_o faith_n without_o that_o any_o desert_n of_o our_o work_n ought_v or_o can_v come_v between_o but_o because_o i_o will_v not_o be_v too_o long_o i_o will_v make_v a_o end_n of_o my_o allegation_n when_o i_o have_v utter_v one_o very_o notable_a and_o good_a say_n of_o saint_n ambrose_n in_o his_o book_n entitle_v of_o jacob_n concern_v the_o bless_a life_n the_o say_v 17._o holy_a man_n say_v that_o like_a as_o jacoh_n have_v not_o on_o his_o own_o behalf_n deserve_v the_o birthright_n christ_n shrowd_v himself_o under_o the_o apparel_n of_o his_o brother_n and_o clothe_v himself_o with_o his_o garment_n which_o yield_v a_o very_a sweet_a send_v and_o in_o that_o wise_a present_v himself_o to_o his_o father_n to_o receive_v the_o blessing_n under_o another_o man_n person_n to_o his_o own_o behoof_n even_o so_o be_v it_o requisite_a for_o we_o to_o clothe_v ourselves_o with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o to_o shroud_v ourselves_o under_o the_o divine_a pureness_n of_o our_o elder_a brother_n if_o we_o will_v be_v receive_v for_o righteous_a afore_o god_n and_o certain_o this_o be_v true_a for_o if_o we_o appear_v before_o god_n unclothe_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n out_o of_o all_o doubt_n we_o shall_v be_v judge_v worthy_a of_o everlasting_a damnation_n but_o contrariwise_o if_o god_n see_v we_o apparel_v with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o son_n christ_n then_o will_v he_o sure_o take_v we_o for_o righteous_a and_o holy_a and_o worthy_a of_o eternal_a life_n and_o very_o it_o be_v a_o great_a rashness_n in_o such_o as_o pretend_v to_o attain_v to_o righteousness_n by_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n commandment_n which_o be_v all_o comprehend_v in_o love_a god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n with_o all_o our_o

as_o they_o be_v altogether_o unclean_a and_o unperfit_a so_o that_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o utter_v this_o say_n of_o david_n enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n with_o thy_o servant_n o_o 143._o lord_n for_o no_o man_n live_a shall_v be_v find_v righteous_a in_o thy_o sight_n and_o solomon_n say_v who_o be_v he_o that_o may_v say_v my_o heart_n be_v clean_a and_o job_n 20._o cry_v out_o

may_v have_v to_o deal_v abroad_o unto_o other_o but_o to_o return_v to_o our_o purpose_n i_o will_v that_o the_o proud_a sinner_n which_o bear_v himself_o in_o hand_n that_o he_o make_v himself_o righteous_a before_o god_n by_o do_v some_o work_n which_o be_v allowable_a to_o the_o world_n will_v consider_v that_o all_o the_o work_n which_o proceed_v out_o of_o a_o unclean_a and_o foul_a
