glad_a lusty_a cheerful_a and_o true-harted_n unto_o god_n and_o unto_o all_o creature_n so_o that_o it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o separate_v good_a life_n and_o good_a work_n from_o this_o faith_n even_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o separate_v heat_n and_o burn_a from_o the_o fire_n therefore_o take_v heed_n to_o thyself_o and_o beware_v of_o thy_o own_o fantasy_n and_o imagination_n which_o to_o judge_v of_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n that_o thou_o will_v seem_v wise_a when_o in_o deed_n thou_o be_v stark_o blind_a pray_v unto_o god_n therefore_o that_o he_o will_v in_o mercy_n

that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o they_o no_o nor_o by_o faith_n as_o of_o it_o own_o virtue_n othervise_v then_o instrumental_o as_o apprehend_v the_o

2.4_o now_o it_o follow_v to_o bring_v some_o argument_n and_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o and_o not_o by_o work_n the_o first_o be_v that_o whereby_o man_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o by_o that_o also_o he_o shall_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n man_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o ergo_fw-la by_o faith_n also_o man_n shall_v be_v justify_v for_o as_o we_o attain_v to_o eternal_a life_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n be_v apprehend_v by_o faith_n so_o for_o his_o sake_n we_o be_v pronounce_v for_o just_a and_o absolve_v from_o the_o guilt_n and_o punishment_n of_o eternal_a death_n therefore_o these_o two_o proposition_n be_v convertible_a a_o man_n justify_v shall_v live_v for_o ever_o and_o a_o man_n live_v for_o ever_o be_v justify_v these_o effect_n of_o justification_n be_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n attribute_v unto_o this_o only_a cause_n faith_n for_o what_o be_v more_o know_v than_o that_o say_n so_o god_n

5.1_o so_o then_o if_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o his_o faith_n that_o be_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o to_o wit_n christ_n apprehend_v by_o faith_n then_o be_v he_o not_o justify_v by_o
