either_o be_v assault_v by_o their_o sophism_n or_o shall_v hear_v their_o argument_n may_v the_o more_o easy_o both_o dissolve_v and_o abhor_v they_o they_o say_v therefore_o by_o a_o argument_n à_fw-fr divisione_n the_o saint_n be_v without_o both_o original_a &_o actual_a sin_n antecedent_n ergo_fw-la they_o have_v no_o sin_n consequent_a for_o confirmation_n of_o their_o false_a

baptism_n be_v a_o seal_n to_o assure_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o faithful_a minor_n that_o original_a sin_n be_v forgive_v therefore_o it_o remane_v not_o conclusion_n and_o if_o it_o do_v not_o

for_o he_o be_v just_a do_v suffer_v for_o the_o unjust_a 18._o and_o have_v taken-awaie_a the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n 29._o so_o y_o ●_o by_o his_o stripe_n they_o be_v heal_v 5._o and_o

sin_n although_o they_o remane_fw-la in_o they_o be_v not_o to_o their_o hurt_n because_o they_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o justifi_v the_o ungodlie_a 5._o for_o their_o faith_n be_v count_v for_o

they_o reason_n where_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n mayor_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n minor_n to_o the_o saint_n there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n 1._o therefore_o in_o the_o saint_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n answer_n i_o answer_v unto_o the_o mayor_n where_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n unto_o death_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o they_o which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n

they_o sore_o that_o they_o may_v continual_o bear_v in_o mind_n how_o much_o they_o be_v bind_v unto_o god_n and_o still_o seek_v to_o please_v he_o who_o help_n they_o stand_v always_o in_o need_n of_o for_o the_o flesh_n lu_v against_o the_o spirit_n 17._o and_o as_o the_o proverb_n be_v he_o be_v liveless_a that_o be_v faultless_a and_o yet_o who_o shall_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o

bear_v of_o god_n sin_v not_o 18._o but_o the_o saint_n be_v bear_v of_o god_n therefore_o the_o saint_n do_v not_o sin_n for_o the_o better_a answer_v this_o argument_n answer_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o y_z e_z saint_n have_v a_o double_a generation_n one_o a_o carnal_a of_o their_o earthly_a parent_n y_fw-fr e_o other_o a_o spiritual_a of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o diversity_n whereof_o they_o be_v carry_v diverslie_o partly_o with_o human_a and_o partly_o with_o divine_a cogitation_n by_o the_o carnal_a generation_n their_o flesh_n lu_v against_o the_o spirit_n 17._o by_o the_o spiritual_a the_o spirit_n lu_v against_o the_o flesh_n by_o the_o carnal_a they_o sin_n in_o many_o thing_n 2._o by_o the_o spiritual_a they_o show_v their_o faith_n by_o their_o work_n etc._n by_o the_o carnal_a 10._o they_o be_v sinner_n 8._o &_o by_o y_fw-fr ●_o spiritual_a they_o abide_v in_o god_n &_o avoid_v sin_n 9_o because_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n 2._o therefore_o say_v augustine_n 8._o consume_v that_o whereby_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o will_v come_v unto_o perfection_n whereby_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n &_o redeem_v in_o the_o spirit_n this_o make_v the_o same_o john_n to_o say_v dear_a belove_a now_o be_v we_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v what_o we_o be_v what_o mean_v this_o we_o be_v and_o we_o be_v but_o only_a that_o we_o be_v in_o hope_n but_o be_v indeed_o for_o afterward_o he_o say_v we_o know_v that_o when_o he_o shall_v appear_v we_o be_v like_o he_o for_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v therefore_o we_o both_o now_o have_v begin_v to_o be_v like_o he_o in_o this_o world_n because_o we_o enjoy_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v yet_o unlike_o he_o through_o the_o remnant_n of_o the_o old_a man_n then_o so_o f●●forth_o as_o we_o be_v like_o he_o so_o farforth_o we_o be_v through_o the_o regeneration_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o by_o how_o much_o we_o be_v unlike_o he_o by_o so_o much_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o of_o the_o world_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o one_o we_o can_v sin_v but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o other_o if_o we_o say_v that_o we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o so_o augustine_n bernard_n answer_v unto_o the_o mayor_n on_o this_o wise_a 1_o whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n sin_v not_o that_o be_v say_v he_o rest_v not_o in_o sin_n or_o sin_v not_o that_o be_v it_o be_v so_o much_o as_o if_o he_o do_v not_o sin_n because_o sin_n be_v not_o impute_v unto_o he_o wherefore_o to_o conclude_v my_o answer_n unto_o this_o argument_n i_o say_v with_o augustine_n 7._o so_o long_o as_o through_o patience_n we_o hope_v for_o the_o redemption_n of_o our_o body_n let_v we_o never_o have_v the_o face_n to_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n lest_o that_o arrogancy_n of_o mind_n be_v a_o most_o heinous_a offence_n moreover_o they_o reason_v thus_o it_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n mayor_n do_v this_o that_o be_v fulfil_v the_o commandment_n and_o thou_o shall_v live_v 5._o the_o saint_n do_v live_v that_o be_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n they_o be_v bless_v minor_n ergo_fw-la they_o fulfil_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n conclusion_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v first_o the_o argument_n be_v false_a for_o it_o be_v no_o good_a reason_n they_o shall_v therefore_o they_o do_v keep_v the_o commandment_n or_o they_o be_v command_v to_o fulfil_v therefore_o they_o do_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n second_o the_o commandment_n be_v fulfil_v two_o manner_n of_o way_n by_o christ_n and_o by_o ourselves_o by_o ourselves_o we_o can_v never_o keep_v they_o and_o therefore_o christ_n have_v fulfil_v they_o on_o our_o behalf_n for_o that_o that_o be_v unpossible_a to_o the_o law_n say_v paul_n 3._o in_fw-la much_o as_o it_o be_v weak_a because_o of_o the_o flesh_n god_n send_v his_o own_o son_n in_o the_o similitude_n of_o sinful_a flesh_n and_o for_o sin_n condemn_a sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n that_o the_o righteousness_n may_v be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o which_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n last_o of_o all_o unto_o the_o minor_fw-la i_o say_v the_o saint_n do_v live_v but_o not_o through_o any_o righteousness_n which_o they_o have_v do_v or_o for_o their_o keep_v the_o law_n it_o be_v by_o their_o faith_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o so_o say_v paul_n 11._o furthermore_o antecedent_n they_o object_n the_o saint_n be_v righteous_a ergo_fw-la they_o do_v not_o sin_n consequent_a if_o this_o argument_n be_v mean_v of_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n it_o be_v true_a but_o if_o otherwise_o i_o deny_v the_o same_o for_o the_o saint_n in_o this_o world_n be_v righteous_a and_o yet_o sinner_n righteous_a because_o god_n accept_v they_o for_o righteous_a and_o righteous_a not_o absolute_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o other_o man_n so_o be_v noah_n righteous_a but_o in_o his_o generation_n 9_o and_o y_fw-fr e_o publican_n righteous_a but_o rather_o than_o the_o pharisie_n 14._o and_o the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n fair_o but_o among_o woman_n 7_o and_o so_o the_o saint_n in_o this_o world_n before_o other_o rather_o than_o the_o wicked_a among_o man_n be_v righteous_a but_o simple_o without_o all_o comparison_n righteous_a or_o without_o sin_n they_o be_v not_o for_o in_o

that_o respect_n god_n only_o be_v holy_a 4._o and_o there_o be_v none_o good_a but_o one_o even_o god_n 17._o for_o no_o man_n live_v that_o sin_v not_o 22._o who_o then_o be_v righteous_a even_o he_o as_o i_o say_v who_o it_o please_v god_n to_o accept_v for_o righteous_a who_o most_o righteous_a he_o that_o have_v the_o great_a faith_n and_o do_v least_o offend_v final_o to_o omit_v the_o rest_n of_o their_o argument_n thus_o they_o argue_v if_o the_o godly_a do_v not_o observe_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n mayor_n no_o man_n can_v fulfil_v they_o but_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n may_v be_v fulfil_v minor_n because_o god_n prescribe_v nothing_o to_o be_v do_v of_o man_n which_o be_v unpossible_a to_o be_v perform_v or_o in_o vane_n therefore_o the_o godly_a do_v observe_v they_o conclusion_n how_o this_o argument_n hang_v together_o answer_n i_o will_v not_o spend_v time_n to_o discuss_v only_o unto_o the_o minor_a i_o say_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v fulfil_v for_o both_o y_z e_z saint_n hereafter_o be_v unload_v from_o the_o burden_n of_o sinful_a flesh_n shall_v and_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n have_v keep_v they_o not_o transgress_v the_o lest_o precept_n nor_o any_o jot_n of_o they_o notwithstanding_o that_o which_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v man_n can_v do_v in_o this_o world_n and_o yet_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n prescribe_v to_o man_n not_o in_o vane_n because_o manifold_a commodity_n do_v spring_v thereof_o for_o first_o by_o the_o law_n we_o gather_v how_o there_o be_v god_n 1._o because_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o those_o most_o true_a and_o certain_a notice_n touch_v the_o difference_n of_o honest_a and_o dishonest_a thing_n express_v in_o the_o law_n shall_v either_o be_v know_v or_o continue_v without_o the_o providence_n of_o some_o god_n again_o by_o the_o law_n we_o may_v learn_v the_o disposition_n of_o god_n 2._o as_o that_o he_o be_v all_o righteous_a all_o holy_a merciful_a true_a etc._n etc._n for_o see_v the_o seed_n and_o sparkle_n of_o those_o virtue_n be_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n and_o that_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o the_o cause_n can_v be_v worser_o than_o the_o effect_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o virtue_n commend_v to_o man_n in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o glitter_v somewhat_o in_o our_o nature_n be_v most_o glorious_o and_o singular_o in_o god_n himself_o neither_o may_v it_o be_v doubt_v but_o god_n by_o his_o law_n do_v show_v himself_o what_o he_o be_v even_o as_o the_o civil_a law_n of_o a_o country_n declare_v the_o inclination_n of_o those_o man_n which_o make_v they_o again_o 3._o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n we_o may_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n behold_v to_o what_o end_n man_n at_o the_o first_o be_v create_v or_o in_o what_o a_o state_n of_o perfection_n our_o first_o parent_n adam_n and_o euah_n be_v for_o with_o such_o virtue_n be_v they_o adorn_v yea_o and_o with_o such_o after_o the_o state_n of_o this_o life_n shall_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v endue_v withal_o as_o the_o law_n exact_v that_o be_v both_o they_o do_v and_o we_o shall_v both_o know_v god_n perfect_o and_o serve_v he_o
