therefore_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v in_o his_o sight_n for_o by_o the_o law_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n 3._o but_o lest_o upon_o this_o the_o

by_o which_o mean_v it_o appear_v that_o all_o come_v short_a of_o that_o glorious_a image_n of_o god_n in_o which_o they_o be_v at_o first_o create_v and_o also_o of_o the_o eternal_a glory_n above_o yet_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n grace_n the_o lose_a world_n be_v not_o leave_v in_o a_o hopeless_a condition_n god_n have_v send_v his_o son_n to_o satisfy_v the_o law_n and_o divine_a justice_n

by_o what_o law_n of_o work_n nay_o but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n 5._o and_o hence_o he_o draw_v another_o conclusion_n viz._n ver_fw-la 28._o therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o in_o the_o four_o chapter_n he_o proceed_v to_o prove_v his_o main_a argument_n i._n e._n that_o a_o sinner_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n by_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n for_o if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n he_o have_v whereof_o to_o glory_v but_o not_o before_o god_n chap._n 4._o 2._o 6._o this_o be_v the_o apostle_n argument_n if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n he_o have_v somewhat_o whereby_o he_o may_v boast_v and_o glory_n but_o abraham_n have_v nothing_o whereof_o to_o boast_v or_o glory_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n but_o to_o put_v it_o further_o out_o of_o doubt_n he_o affirm_v what_o the_o scripture_n say_v viz._n that_o abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n v_o 3._o 7._o in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o proceed_v to_o prove_v this_o bless_a doctrine_n from_o the_o nature_n of_o work_n and_o grace_n they_o be_v quite_o opposite_a and_o contrary_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o now_o to_o he_o that_o work_v be_v the_o reward_n not_o reckon_v of_o grace_n but_o of_o debt_n v_o 4._o if_o therefore_o it_o be_v grant_v a_o man_n can_v perform_v the_o condition_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n yet_o he_o can_v not_o he_o justify_v 1._o because_o all_o as_o he_o have_v show_v before_o have_v sin_v 2._o because_o there_o be_v no_o reward_n as_o a_o due_a debt_n from_o god_n because_o we_o can_v do_v no_o more_o than_o our_o duty_n we_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o all_o our_o ability_n and_o service_n can_v never_o make_v a_o reparation_n for_o the_o wrong_n we_o have_v do_v against_o the_o law_n and_o the_o holiness_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o i_o come_v to_o my_o text_n ver_fw-la 5._o but_o to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o but_o believe_v on_o he_o that_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a his_o faith_n be_v count_v for_o righteousness_n to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o that_o be_v work_v
