who_o defend_v and_o hold_v the_o same_o doctrine_n that_o saint_n austen_n do_v nay_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o have_v good_a work_n before_o we_o have_v faith_n see_v as_o the_o apostle_n

whatsoever_o can_v be_v say_v for_o popery_n in_o this_o kind_n of_o subject_n but_o our_o friar_n will_v prove_v good_a work_n to_o go_v before_o justification_n because_o christ_n say_v to_o mary_n magdalen_n 47_o many_o sin_n be_v forgive_v she_o because_o she_o love_v much_o i_o answer_v that_o christ_n argument_n be_v not_o draw_v from_o the_o cause_n but_o from_o the_o effect_n as_o if_o

thereupon_o that_o see_v mary_n magdalen_n love_v more_o he_o may_v know_v that_o she_o have_v more_o forgive_v she_o because_o say_v christ_n to_o who_o little_o be_v forgive_v the_o same_o love_v little_a neither_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o draw_v any_o other_o mean_v out_o of_o christ_n word_n the_o reason_n be_v evident_a because_o christ_n say_v plain_o that_o the_o debt_n be_v free_o

imperfect_a out_o of_o this_o discourse_n of_o this_o holy_a and_o learned_a father_n i_o observe_v these_o worthy_a document_n first_o that_o all_o man_n even_o the_o best_a liver_n upon_o earth_n
