be_v without_o workê_n and_o where_o he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o work_n sure_o he_o mean_v not_o that_o we_o be_v renew_v or_o regenerate_v by_o work_n nor_o he_o mean_v

for_o james_n speak_v of_o tho_o work_n which_o follow_v faith_n as_o he_o wytness_v when_o he_o say_v faith_n help_v his_o work_n so_o we_o must_v take_v the_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v
