by_o this_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a apostle_n paul_n in_o the_o 12._o to_o the_o roman_n have_v teach_v what_o and_o how_o much_o the_o perfectness_n of_o the_o gospel_n require_v of_o we_o

be_v not_o able_a to_o look_v into_o the_o faith_n of_o other_o man_n which_o do_v consist_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o therefore_o we_o judge_v by_o their_o word_n and_o deed_n honest_a word_n and_o

that_o we_o have_v faith_n in_o deed_n whereas_o the_o lack_n of_o they_o do_v argue_v the_o contrary_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n admonish_v we_o that_o the_o judgement_n shall_v be_v according_a to_o our_o work_n to_o this_o sense_n agree_v that_o in_o the_o 12._o of_o matthew_n where_o it_o be_v say_v by_o thy_o deed_n thou_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o by_o the_o same_o thou_o

only_o beget_v son_n i_o will_v bless_v thou_o and_o multiply_v thou_o exceed_o etc_n etc_n but_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o god_n make_v that_o promise_n to_o abraham_n before_o isaac_n be_v bear_v

there_o be_v no_o difference_n all_o have_v sin_v and_o have_v need_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o because_o all_o man_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v destitute_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o

〈◊〉_d that_o be_v they_o love_v one_o another_o mutual_o he_o he_o and_o he_o he_o again_o but_o if_o this_o trouble_n the_o priest_n to_o have_v their_o confession_n hear_v of_o lay-man_n let_v
