good_a work_n whereas_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o do_v the_o flat_a contrary_n we_o will_v man_n to_o beware_v that_o they_o use_v not_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o a_o cloak_n of_o

shine_v before_o man_n that_o they_o see_v their_o good_a work_n may_v glorify_v our_o heavenly_a father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n work_n but_o herein_o lie_v the_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o we_o we_o teach_v that_o work_v come_v after_o faith_n they_o that_o they_o go_v before_o faith_n we_o that_o they_o follow_v he_o that_o be_v already_o justify_v they_o that_o they_o go_v

cause_n of_o work_n they_o that_o work_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o faith._n and_o with_o as_o much_o truth_n may_v they_o teach_v that_o light_o be_v cause_n of_o the_o sun_n that_o heat_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o fire_n that_o moisture_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o water_n to_o be_v short_a we_o teach_v that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n only_o be_v the_o measure_n by_o which_o our_o work_n be_v to_o be_v moten_z they_o that_o the_o will_n of_o man_n and_o good_a intent_n but_o howsoever_o they_o teach_v or_o whatsoever_o they_o say_v thus_o say_v the_o scripture_n and_o thus_o teach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god._n whereof_o i_o conclude_v that_o as_o after_o the_o example_n of_o cornelius_n a_o christian_a must_v do_v good_a work_n so_o must_v he_o have_v faith_n before_o or_o else_o how_o glorious_a soever_o they_o seem_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n before_o the_o lord_n they_o stink_v and_o be_v abominable_a and_o therefore_o be_v it_o also_o in_o this_o place_n very_o well_o say_v of_o cornelius_n first_o that_o he_o be_v a_o religious_a man_n and_o one_o that_o fear_v god_o and_o second_o that_o he_o give_v much_o alm_n to_o all_o the_o people_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o in_o he_o go_v first_o faith_n religion_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o then_o that_o these_o be_v not_o idle_a his_o good_a work_n and_o deed_n do_v declare_v and_o thus_o let_v papist_n say_v what_o they_o list_v we_o teach_v that_o in_o christian_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v and_o with_o their_o own_o eye_n in_o a_o great_a many_o they_o may_v see_v it_o for_o to_o be_v and_o god_n grant_n that_o in_o all_o those_o that_o do_v profess_v his_o name_n and_o religion_n it_o may_v be_v i_o mean_v that_o all_o such_o as_o do_v in_o word_n confess_v christ_n jesus_n to_o be_v the_o lord_n may_v in_o deed_n with_o cornelius_n so_o godly_a walk_n that_o by_o their_o live_n before_o the_o world_n they_o may_v be_v take_v for_o christian_n ●o_o second_o we_o have_v here_o a_o rule_n give_v we_o how_o to_o examine_v and_o try_v that_o which_o we_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a whether_o it_o he_o alm_n or_o no._n for_o to_o have_v that_o which_o be_v give_v so_o to_o be_v do_v not_o consist_v in_o the_o greatness_n of_o that_o which_o be_v bestow_v but_o in_o the_o mind_n and_o disposition_n of_o the_o giver_n for_o who_o common_o be_v so_o liberal_a or_o rather_o in_o very_a deed_n prodigal_a and_o lavish_a as_o be_v hypocrite_n that_o in_o give_v greedy_o hawk_v and_o hunt_v after_o the_o praise_n &_o commendation_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v blow_v a_o trumpet_n before_o their_o alm_n but_o they_o have_v their_o reward_n neither_o shall_v the_o great_a sum_n that_o they_o distribute_v and_o bestow_v ever_o come_v into_o this_o reckon_n before_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v accept_v and_o take_v it_o for_o alm_n that_o be_v for_o such_o a_o work_n as_o do_v please_v he_o because_o it_o be_v not_o do_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o command_v that_o therefore_o which_o we_o give_v shall_v then_o go_v before_o the_o lord_n for_o alm_n if_o it_o be_v as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o speak_v of_o cornelius_n his_o liberality_n mercy_n that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o it_o proceed_v of_o love_n and_o of_o a_o brotherly_a pity_v the_o misery_n of_o he_o which_o be_v in_o

be_v out_o of_o the_o vowel_n of_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n liberal_o pour_v out_o upon_o he_o as_o one_o of_o our_o own_o member_n for_o the_o relief_n of_o his_o necessity_n according_a to_o the_o

and_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o prophet_n isay_n 58.7_o command_v we_o that_o we_o hide_v not_o our_o face_n from_o our_o own_o flesh_n so_o you_o see_v that_o if_o our_o give_v issue_n out_o of_o any_o

so_o to_o win_v heaven_n be_v indeed_o no_o alm_n but_o pharisaical_a trumpet_n to_o win_v a_o brittle_a blast_n of_o glory_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n they_o have_v therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v their_o reward_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o thing_n they_o seek_v for_o to_o wit_n the_o praise_n and_o commendation_n of_o man_n as_o for_o reward_n at_o god_n hand_n they_o neither_o have_v nor_o
