may_v save_v you_o it_o be_v write_v all_o which_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n how_o then_o can_v you_o do_v any_o work_n precede_v faith_n that_o it_o may_v please_v god_n or_o provoke_v he_o

his_o sight_n therefore_o all_o that_o ever_o you_o do_v how_o excellent_a the_o work_n be_v in_o your_o sight_n it_o be_v sin_n before_o god_n and_o you_o heap_v sin_n upon_o sin_n which_o be_v abomination_n in_o his_o sight_n as_o say_v the_o prophet_n esay_n the_o work_n which_o follow_v faith_n make_v you_o not_o just_a because_o or_o ever_o you_o work_v good_a work_n you_o must_v be_v

i_o exhort_v you_o to_o exclude_v they_o also_o &_o cleave_v to_o faith_n the_o xxi_o chap._n 1_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o wicked_a seek_v their_o own_o glory_n 2_o the_o work_v command_v by_o god_n

your_o own_o justice_n you_o neglect_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o will_v not_o be_v subject_a thereto_o as_o the_o apost_n say_v and_o christ_n say_v you_o be_v they_o which_o justify_v yourselves_o before_o man_n but_o god_n know_v your_o heart_n because_o that_o which_o be_v of_o great_a estimation_n in_o man_n eye_n be_v abominable_a before_o god_n 1._o even_o so_o it_o be_v of_o

alm_n deed_n fasting_n and_o keep_v of_o holy_a day_n and_o other_o as_o you_o may_v read_v esay_n the_o first_o chap._n 7._o the_o which_o god_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o prophet_n call_v

god_n for_o no_o other_o cause_n but_o that_o they_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o wicked_a without_o faith_n or_o mix_v with_o the_o article_n of_o justification_n think_v therethrough_a to_o be_v make_v just_a or_o to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o their_o own_o justification_n and_o therefore_o can_v please_v god_n but_o great_o displease_v he_o because_o the_o good_a work_n be_v convert_v into_o sin_n through_o the_o iniquity_n of_o man_n nevertheless_o they_o appear_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n to_o be_v most_o excellent_a good_a and_o shall_v have_v a_o great_a reward_n after_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n but_o you_o see_v here_o what_o reward_n god_n give_v they_o and_o see_v the_o work_n command_v by_o god_n to_o be_v do_v well_o be_v so_o displeasant_a in_o his_o sight_n wrought_v by_o the_o wicked_a without_o faith_n what_o be_v of_o your_o work_n which_o be_v not_o command_v by_o god_n nor_o have_v no_o authority_n in_o his_o scripture_n but_o invent_v by_o yourselves_o of_o your_o good_a zeal_n and_o intention_n to_o make_v yourselves_o just_a by_o they_o have_v no_o respect_n to_o faith_n but_o to_o the_o work_n of_o they_o of_o the_o self_n deed_n yea_o very_o express_v contrary_a the_o scripture_n and_o plain_a idolatry_n nevertheless_o he_o that_o do_v they_o you_o make_v just_a and_o he_o that_o do_v they_o not_o you_o condemn_v be_v this_o any_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o make_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n in_o vain_a and_o to_o be_v justifier_n of_o yourselves_o for_o see_v the_o justice_n which_o be_v of_o value_n before_o god_n be_v not_o of_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n how_o can_v it_o be_v of_o your_o deed_n therefore_o christ_n will_v say_v unto_o you_o pass_v from_o i_o all_o you_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n i_o know_v you_o not_o notwithstanding_o in_o other_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v find_v the_o same_o work_n great_o commend_v by_o god_n where_o they_o be_v do_v by_o the_o just_a man_n as_o the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n &_o reward_v promise_v to_o the_o worker_n of_o they_o so_o they_o confess_v they_o unprofitable_a servant_n when_o they_o have_v do_v all_o that_o they_o can_v for_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n 17._o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o which_o be_v command_v you_o to_o do_v then_o say_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n we_o have_v do_v that_o which_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v and_o if_o they_o which_o fulfil_v all_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v count_v or_o repute_v by_o he_o unprofitable_a servant_n what_o have_v we_o to_o glory_n in_o which_o fulfil_v not_o one_o of_o his_o commandment_n now_o i_o pray_v you_o lay_v this_o text_n to_o your_o assertion_n if_o thou_o will_v enter_v into_o life_n keep_v the_o commandment_n and_o you_o shall_v think_v

now_o i_o trust_v it_o be_v sufficient_o prove_v by_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o be_v before_o rehearse_v at_o length_n to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o godly_a man_n that_o work_n be_v exclude_v forth_o of_o this_o article_n of_o justification_n &_o have_v no_o participation_n therewith_o but_o follow_v faith_n as_o the_o due_a fruit_n thereof_o that_o all_o

can_v nor_o will_v not_o be_v content_a with_o god_n nor_o his_o word_n 48._o but_o ever_o impung_a the_o same_o to_o establish_v their_o own_o authority_n and_o glory_n conscience_n and_o therefore_o
