Together with the perfection of faith, and the imbecillity of workes, in the cause of iustification of elect sinners before God. For forme and maner of handling, it hath the coherence and method, the summe and scope, the interpretations & doctrines the reasons and vses, of most texts. All which, are set downe very familiarly and compendiously, in forme of a dialogue, betweene Tlmotheus [sic] and Silas, by Thomas Wilson, one of the six preachers in the cathedrall church of Canterbury.

we_o give_v over_o ourselves_o licentious_o to_o sin_n because_o we_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n which_o objection_n do_v arise_v from_o the_o ill_a understanding_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n for_o his_o word_n be_v so_o take_v of_o some_o as_o if_o he_o have_v mean_v by_o not_o be_v under_o the_o law_n our_o freedom_n from_o the_o government_n and_o doctrine_n of_o

we_o learn_v from_o this_o objection_n silas_n our_o first_o instruction_n from_o this_o objection_n be_v to_o learn_v how_o ready_a and_o prone_a sinful_a man_n be_v to_o snatch_v up_o all_o manner_n of_o occasion_n which_o may_v nourish_v liberty_n in_o sin_n pervert_v holy_a doctrine_n to_o this_o end_n therefore_o all_o man_n must_v watch_v over_o their_o own_o heart_n be_v natural_o bend_v to_o these_o crooked_a shift_n avoid_v the_o company_n of_o sinful_a man_n which_o affect_v such_o natural_a licentiousness_n second_o that_o the_o ill_a understanding_n of_o thing_n well_o teach_v breed_v error_n and_o cavilling_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o mistake_v good_a doctrine_n three_o that_o there_o be_v no_o doctrine_n so_o sound_a but_o one_o or_o other_o will_v carp_v at_o it_o &_o wrest_v it_o therefore_o teacher_n must_v arm_v themselves_o with_o patience_n four_o that_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n must_v 1,9_o have_v skill_n not_o only_o to_o teach_v the_o truth_n but_o how_o to_o meet_v answer_v with_o and_o convince_v such_o gainsayers_a tim._n now_o tell_v we_o what_o answer_n the_o apostle_n make_v unto_o the_o former_a cavillation_n and_o how_o the_o objection_n be_v wipe_v away_o sylas_n it_o be_v first_o to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o direct_o answer_v their_o cavil_v argument_n which_o be_v sophistical_a be_v a_o fallacy_n from_o the_o ambiguity_n of_o the_o speech_n of_o not_o be_v under_o the_o law_n which_o the_o obiectour_n take_v as_o be_v mean_v of_o a_o freedom_n from_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n whereas_o the_o apostle_n understand_v it_o of_o the_o rigorous_a exaction_n of_o the_o law_n forbid_v evil_a thing_n and_o give_v no_o strength_n to_o forbear_v they_o but_o rather_o provoke_v our_o lust_n more_o after_o such_o evil_n as_o it_o forbid_v our_o apostle_n therefore_o content_v himself_o to_o answer_v the_o consequent_a of_o the_o argument_n namely_o that_o which_o be_v untrue_o conclude_v and_o gather_v from_o his_o own_o doctrine_n to_o wit_n that_o we_o may_v free_o sin_v this_o consequent_a he_o answer_v two_o way_n his_o first_o answer_n be_v by_o word_n of_o detestation_n god_n forbid_v in_o 15_o verse_n hereby_o teach_v we_o that_o all_o wicked_a and_o false_a thing_n infer_v from_o the_o word_n must_v be_v abhor_v of_o us._n in_o the_o second_o part_n of_o his_o answer_n he_o prove_v the_o quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o objection_n namely_o that_o such_o as_o be_v not_o under_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n ought_v not_o to_o serve_v sin_n but_o christ_n their_o lord_n tim._n how_o do_v he_o prove_v this_o by_o what_o argument_n sylas_n by_o these_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v take_v from_o the_o condition_n of_o servant_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 16._o verse_n this_o reason_n stand_v thus_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o every_o one_o obey_v he_o who_o servant_n he_o be_v but_o all_o true_a believer_n be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o sin_n therefore_o be_v they_o bind_v not_o to_o obey_v sin_n but_o god_n in_o do_v his_o will_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v confirm_v and_o back_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o every_o man_n conscience_n know_v you_o not_o that_o a_o servant_n must_v obey_v he_o that_o be_v his_o lord_n and_o that_o christ_n be_v your_o lord_n and_o not_o sin_n you_o all_o know_v this_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o you_o know_v by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o word_n tim._n what_o thing_n be_v we_o to_o learn_v out_o of_o this_o first_o reason_n sylas_n first_o that_o it_o be_v wisdom_n in_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n to_o build_v their_o doctrine_n upon_o know_v and_o receive_v principle_n of_o which_o every_o one_o be_v convict_v that_o they_o be_v true_a second_o we_o must_v judge_v of_o our_o service_n either_o to_o sin_n or_o to_o god_n not_o by_o our_o profession_n but_o by_o our_o practice_n and_o obedience_n if_o we_o do_v fulfil_v and_o obey_v the_o lust_n of_o sin_n then_o be_v we_o the_o servant_n of_o sin_n whatsoever_o we_o profess_v or_o say_v to_o the_o contrary_n three_o that_o it_o stand_v with_o great_a reason_n that_o a_o christian_n life_n shall_v be_v a_o continual_a obedience_n to_o christ_n because_o he_o be_v our_o lord_n and_o have_v admit_v we_o to_o be_v his_o servant_n who_o by_o nature_n through_o adam_n fall_n be_v whole_o captive_n to_o satan_n and_o sin_n but_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n have_v free_v we_o from_o this_o captivity_n and_o addict_v we_o to_o himself_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o now_o serve_v sin_n our_o former_a lord_n but_o christ_n our_o new_a master_n who_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o sin_n and_o satan_n as_o servant_n which_o paste_n from_o 75_o one_o master_n to_o another_o do_v ever_o please_v and_o serve_v the_o latter_a master_n tim._n what_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n whereby_o he_o prove_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o obey_v christ_n and_o not_o sin_n sylas_n the_o second_o reason_n of_o this_o text_n be_v take_v from_o the_o effect_n which_o follow_v the_o service_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o sin_n which_o be_v death_n and_o life_n whether_o it_o be_v of_o sin_n to_o death_n or_o of_o obedience_n unto_o righteousness_n this_o second_o reason_n have_v two_o branch_n and_o may_v be_v thus_o frame_v such_o as_o obey_v and_o serve_v sin_n must_v have_v death_n for_o their_o reward_n therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o serve_v sin_n lest_o we_o die_v for_o it_o again_o such_o as_o obey_v christ_n by_o do_v righteous_a thing_n shall_v have_v eternal_a life_n for_o their_o reward_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o obey_v christ_n and_o renounce_v the_o service_n of_o sinful_a lust_n that_o we_o may_v live_v for_o ever_o tim._n what_o instruction_n do_v you_o gather_v from_o hence_o sylas_n first_o of_o all_o that_o sin_n and_o righteousness_n be_v two_o contrary_a lord_n as_o fire_n and_o water_n as_o god_n and_o mammon_n love_v the_o one_o and_o hate_v the_o other_o second_o that_o all_o man_n must_v do_v service_n to_o one_o of_o these_o two_o lord_n no_o man_n can_v serve_v both_o at_o once_o because_o they_o command_v contrary_a thing_n three_o we_o learn_v here_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n that_o it_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n or_o unto_o righteousness_n therefore_o a_o filthy_a unrighteous_a and_o bitter_a thing_n four_o that_o the_o service_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v avoid_v as_o a_o damnable_a or_o deadly_a thing_n bring_v to_o destruction_n in_o hell_n and_o deserve_v it_o last_o that_o a_o righteous_a life_n that_o yield_v obedience_n unto_o god_n shall_v end_v in_o eternal_a life_n though_o it_o can_v merit_v it_o tim._n but_o our_o apostle_n have_v say_v whether_o of_o sin_n to_o death_n why_o do_v he_o not_o likewise_o say_v or_o of_o righteousness_n to_o life_n but_o say_v thus_o of_o obedience_n to_o righteousness_n what_o be_v we_o to_o learn_v by_o this_o kind_n of_o phrase_n and_o style_v sil._n these_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o this_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o work_n to_o live_v obedient_o unto_o the_o will_n of_o god_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n
