unto_o exhortation_n to_o manner_n and_o integrity_n of_o life_n thereby_o plain_o affirm_v as_o much_o as_o you_o say_v namely_o that_o christian_n must_v adorn_v their_o faith_n and_o profession_n with_o good_a work_n and_o that_o a_o true_a justify_n faith_n be_v ever_o abundant_o fruitful_a in_o the_o same_o good_a work_n nay_o that_o which_o be_v more_o i_o do_v know_v that_o many_o zealous_a christian_n even_o now_o in_o our_o time_n do_v confirm_v the_o same_o doctrine_n by_o their_o life_n and_o live_n who_o as_o they_o do_v daily_o pray_v for_o a_o true_a justify_n faith_n and_o constant_o profess_v themselves_o to_o have_v the_o same_o so_o do_v they_o also_o walk_v in_o all_o christian_n and_o dutiful_a obedience_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n ever_o endevor_v themselves_o to_o do_v well_o and_o to_o do_v good_a so_o that_o when_o i_o do_v lay_v their_o outward_a profession_n of_o a_o justify_n faith_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o their_o life_n on_o the_o other_o side_n together_o i_o think_v it_o do_v strong_o prove_v this_o doctrine_n to_o be_v always_o infallible_o true_a that_o a_o true_a justify_n faith_n and_o good_a work_n be_v inseparable_a and_o not_o to_o be_v find_v asunder_o no_o more_o than_o the_o sun_n can_v be_v without_o his_o light_n or_o fire_v his_o heat_n this_o i_o say_v i_o do_v hear_v this_o i_o do_v know_v both_o by_o

how_o it_o do_v come_v to_o pass_v my_o last_o suit_n therefore_o unto_o you_o be_v that_o you_o will_v prove_v by_o some-sound_n reason_n that_o a_o justify_n faith_n whersoever_o it_o do_v rest_n must_v needs_o be_v effectual_a and_o fruitful_a in_o holiness_n of_o life_n &_o good_a work_n for_o doubtless_o though_o it_o be_v the_o truth_n yet_o because_o they_o do_v not_o clear_o see_v it_o by_o manifest_a argument_n and_o reason_n a_o great_a number_n can_v tell_v whether_o they_o shall_v believe_v it_o or_o not_o and_o therefore_o though_o they_o have_v but_o only_o a_o bare_a historical_a faith_n without_o all_o respect_n unto_o work_n and_o manner_n yet_o they_o flatter_v themselves_o that_o the_o same_o be_v a_o true_a justify_n faith_n whereas_o if_o they_o be_v able_a to_o convince_v themselves_o by_o sound_a reason_n many_o of_o they_o i_o be_o persuade_v will_v be_v as_o ready_a to_o forsake_v their_o error_n they_o will_v be_v as_o willing_a to_o embrace_v the_o true_a justify_n faith_n and_o to_o express_v the_o same_o by_o all_o dutiful_a obedience_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n in_o their_o life_n as_o ever_o they_o be_v to_o maintain_v a_o bare_a

can_v thorough_o know_v what_o a_o justify_n faith_n be_v but_o he_o only_o that_o have_v it_o as_o no_o man_n can_v understand_v or_o comprehend_v what_o honey_n and_o his_o séetnes_n be_v though_o

there_o be_v none_o other_o reason_n this_o only_a will_v be_v of_o sufficient_a force_n to_o prove_v it_o but_o hear_v a_o second_o reason_n the_o second_o reason_n thus_o every_o one_o be_v bind_v
