that_o we_o have_v faith_n in_o deed_n whereas_o the_o lack_n of_o they_o do_v argue_v the_o contrary_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n admonish_v we_o that_o the_o judgement_n shall_v be_v according_a to_o our_o work_n to_o this_o sense_n agree_v that_o in_o the_o 12._o of_o matthew_n where_o it_o be_v say_v by_o thy_o deed_n thou_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o by_o the_o same_o thou_o

only_o beget_v son_n i_o will_v bless_v thou_o and_o multiply_v thou_o exceed_o etc_n etc_n but_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o god_n make_v that_o promise_n to_o abraham_n before_o isaac_n be_v bear_v
