wisdom_n righteousness_n and_o give_v they_o to_o god_n alone_o to_o who_o they_o belong_v the_o gospel_n be_v a_o doctrine_n concern_v christ_n which_o be_v neither_o law_n nor_o work_n but_o our_o righteousness_n sanctification_n &_o redemption_n that_o he_o may_v be_v make_v a_o oblation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o our_o sin_n may_v be_v forgive_v for_o his_o sake_n and_o not_o for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n nor_o our_o own_o righteousness_n we_o acknowledge_v and_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o that_o be_v able_a to_o deserve_v grace_n and_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n but_o that_o at_o we_o obtain_v it_o by_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n only_o for_o christ_n sake_n whereby_o we_o do_v not_o seek_v to_o set_v forth_o man_n worthiness_n but_o god_n mercy_n offer_v unto_o we_o in_o christ_n for_o christ_n and_o the_o law_n can_v agree_v together_o in_o the_o conscience_n the_o one_o must_v give_v place_n and_o he_o that_o can_v beeleeve_v that_o god_n will_v forgive_v he_o his_o sin_n for_o christ_n sake_n how_o can_v he_o be_v leeve_o that_o his_o sin_n shall_v be_v forgive_v for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n which_o no_o man_n yet_o be_v ever_o able_a to_o perform_v they_o that_o do_v mingle_v the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n together_o do_v perveit_n both_o for_o either_o christ_n must_v remain_v and_o the_o law_n give_v place_n or_o the_o law_n must_v remain_v and_o christ_n must_v give_v place_n for_o he_o that_o will_v needs_o couple_v the_o law_n with_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o only_a blemish_n and_o darken_v the_o knowledge_n of_o grace_n which_o paul_n so_o often_o speak_v of_o but_o also_o he_o take_v away_o christ_n with_o all_o his_o benefit_n the_o law_n indeed_o be_v give_v to_o

to_o forget_v justification_n grace_v the_o gospel_n and_o christ_n himself_o the_o law_n no_o doubt_n be_v holy_a righteous_a and_o good_a &_o consequent_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v holy_a righteous_a and_o good_a yet_o notwithstanding_o a_o man_n be_v not_o thereby_o justify_v before_o god_n but_o make_v the_o rather_o subject_a to_o the_o curse_n and_o although_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o necessary_a than_o the_o law_n and_o the_o work_v thereof_o yet_o by_o the_o same_o a_o man_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o the_o denial_n of_o christ_n for_o of_o the_o law_n many_o time_n come_v a_o trust_n and_o affiance_n in_o work_n and_o where_o that_o be_v there_o can_v be_v no_o affiance_n in_o christ_n the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o that_o shall_v do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v in_o they_o but_o the_o righteousness_n of_o say_v be_v to_o beeleeve_v according_a to_o this_o say_n the_o righteous_a man_n do_v live_v by_o faith_n now_o the_o papist_n that_o do_v so_o much_o endeavour_n to_o establish_v the_o righteousness_n of_o work_n do_v thereby_o tread_v down_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n for_o although_o it_o be_v true_a that_o work_n must_v follow_v faith_n yet_o in_o the_o work_n of_o our_o salvation_n there_o must_v be_v no_o medley_n we_o must_v rely_v in_o the_o one_o or_o in_o the_o other_o now_o faith_n work_v not_o but_o believe_v in_o christ_n who_o be_v our_o propytion_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o to_o make_v righteous_a and_o to_o give_v life_n but_o to_o show_v forth_o sin_n and_o to_o destroy_v and_o although_o the_o law_n say_v he_o that_o shall_v do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v in_o they_o yet_o i_o will_v but_o see_v a_o papist_n that_o can_v point_v i_o out_o but_o one_o man_n that_o have_v so_o perform_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n to_o merit_v eternal_a life_n by_o his_o own_o deserve_n who_o so_o ever_o seek_v to_o make_v himself_o holy_a by_o the_o law_n what_o can_v he_o imagine_v but_o that_o god_n be_v angry_a must_v needs_o be_v pacify_v with_o good_a work_n &_o what_o work_n can_v he_o now_o perform_v wherein_o he_o find_v not_o some_o imperfection_n his_o fast_n his_o pray_v his_o worship_v his_o sacrifice_a he_o think_v still_o that_o he_o have_v omit_v somewhat_o or_o that_o he_o ha●h_v not_o do_v they_o as_o he_o ought_v they_o can_v therefore_o quiet_v his_o conscience_n if_o our_o reward_n shall_v be_v according_a to_o our_o work_n there_o shall_v no_o man_n be_v save_v when_o our_o best_a deed_n compare_v to_o the_o law_n be_v damnable_a sin_n neither_o by_o it_o be_v any_o flesh_n justify_v as_o it_o appear_v in_o the_o 3._o to_o the_o rom._n for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n be_v only_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n neither_o be_v it_o write_v in_o the_o gospel_n he_o that_o work_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o therefore_o they_o that_o do_v seek_v heaven_n by_o work_n be_v such_o as_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o treasure_n that_o be_v lay_v up_o for_o they_o in_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o foolish_a to_o condemn_v good_a work_n as_o the_o papist_n most_o slanderous_o report_v but_o we_o condemn_v confidence_n in_o good_a work_n that_o shall_v either_o justify_v or_o make_v righteous_a whereby_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v make_v altogether_o unprofitable_a for_o those_o that_o do_v seek_v their_o justification_n by_o law_n or_o work_n what_o be_v it_o else_o but_o a_o flat_a denial_n of_o christ_n but_o here_o come_v reason_n now_o to_o debate_v the_o matter_n who_o hear_v of_o justification_n by_o faith_n begin_v to_o storm_n what_o say_v it_o be_v all_o my_o good_a work_n then_o nothing_o worth_a have_v i_o fast_v have_v i_o pray_v have_v i_o be_v charitable_a in_o bestow_v my_o money_n to_o build_v chapel_n to_o build_v chanterye_n to_o give_v perpetuity_n to_o mass_a priest_n to_o buy_v coop_v vestment_n cross_n and_o chalyce_n &_o be_v all_o these_o nothing_o worth_a have_v i_o labour_v in_o vain_a in_o any_o case_n therefore_o when_o we_o come_v to_o debate_v of_o these_o matter_n away_o with_o reason_n which_o be_v a_o utter_a enemy_n to_o faith_n and_o lean_v not_o to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n but_o to_o it_o own_o righteousness_n or_o at_o the_o least_o to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n now_o where_o law_n and_o reason_n be_v once_o link_v together_o there_o faith_n lose_v her_o virginity_n for_o man_n reason_n take_v more_o pleasure_n in_o measure_v of_o god_n by_o her_o own_o imagination_n then_o by_o his_o word_n and_o do_v those_o with_o better_a will_n and_o great_a zeal_n that_o she_o herself_o have_v choose_v than_o those_o that_o god_n have_v command_v and_o therefore_o if_o with_o the_o papist_n we_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o measure_v the_o thing_n appertain_v to_o faith_n and_o salvation_n but_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o reason_n we_o shall_v find_v both_o great_a absurdity_n and_o many_o impossibility_n for_o who_o can_v believe_v the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n that_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n that_o he_o be_v bear_v and_o suffer_v the_o most_o reproachful_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n that_o the_o dead_a shall_v rise_v at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o how_o absurd_a and_o foolish_a do_v it_o seem_v to_o reason_n that_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n shall_v spiritual_o be_v offer_v unto_o we_o or_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n shall_v be_v the_o receive_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o if_o we_o have_v no_o better_a speculation_n then_o to_o look_v with_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n how_o can_v we_o see_v or_o believe_v the_o bless_a trinity_n but_o how_o foolish_a and_o impossible_a do_v it_o seem_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o reason_n when_o god_n say_v unto_o abraham_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o son_n of_o the_o wither_a and_o barren_a body_n of_o his_o wife_n sara_n we_o may_v therefore_o conclude_v and_o that_o undoubted_o that_o in_o the_o search_n out_o of_o thing_n that_o be_v divine_a there_o be_v nothing_o more_o unreasonable_a then_o that_o which_o
