metaphor_n or_o mystical_a expression_n as_o we_o be_v plain_o tell_v isai._n 3_o say_v you_o to_o the_o righteous_a 3.10_o it_o shall_v be_v well_o with_o he_o for_o they_o shall_v eat_v the_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d for_o here_o the_o main_a point_n in_o question_n be_v in_o both_o epistle_n concern_v justification_n to_o life_n whether_o by_o work_n or_o by_o faith_n and_o the_o conclusion_n be_v that_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o by_o the_o law_n 3.20_o come_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n but_o be_v justify_v by_o

for_o it_o be_v write_v say_v he_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n and_o prove_v it_o further_o from_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n and_o david_n who_o be_v justify_v he_o tell_v we_o not_o by_o work_n but_o by_o faith_n 6._o to_o who_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n with_o work_n thus_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n in_o that_o to_o the_o galatian_n he_o argue_v that_o abraham_n believe_v be_v account_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n and_o that_o in_o he_o 7._o the_o gentile_n also_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o do_v thereby_o become_v the_o child_n of_o faithful_a abraham_n and_o this_o he_o there_o also_o confirm_v by_o the_o same_o testimony_n that_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n 11._o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n be_v evident_a he_o tell_v we_o for_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n or_o the_o just_a by_o faith_n shall_v live_v that_o be_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o shall_v obtain_v life_n or_o

of_o righteousness_n which_o we_o have_v do_v 3.5_o our_o work_n perhaps_o may_v look_v glorious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n but_o not_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v in_o his_o

but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o we_o be_v justify_v as_o our_o church_n tell_v we_o by_o faith_n only_o what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o holiness_n or_o a_o godly_a life_n i_o say_v much_o every_o way_n for_o we_o must_v be_v sanctify_v as_o well_o as_o justify_v if_o ever_o we_o be_v save_v and_o though_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n go_v always_o together_o for_o god_n justify_v none_o who_o he_o do_v not_o also_o sanctify_v yet_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v very_o different_a and_o whatever_o some_o will_v slanderous_o insinuate_v of_o those_o who_o

not_o to_o trust_v in_o they_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o they_o either_o in_o whole_a or_o in_o part._n as_o to_o justification_n she_o tell_v we_o in_o the_o 11_o the_o article_n justification_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o wholesome_a doctrine_n and_o full_a of_o comfort_n and_o as_o to_o good_a work_n she_o tell_v we_o in_o the_o 12_o the_o

of_o the_o law_n because_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n that_o although_o this_o justification_n be_v free_a to_o we_o yet_o it_o come_v not_o so_o

the_o same_o purpose_n show_v that_o christ_n alone_o have_v pay_v the_o whole_a ransom_n and_o make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o god_n justice_n and_o that_o our_o righteousness_n or_o good_a work_n come_v not_o in_o for_o any_o share_n or_o part_n thereof_o as_o if_o by_o they_o we_o shall_v at_o lest_o in_o part_n be_v justify_v this_o doctrine_n i_o know_v be_v not_o please_v to_o the_o

order_n to_o the_o deny_v of_o his_o divinity_n they_o deny_v his_o satisfaction_n too_o nor_o to_o the_o papist_n for_o though_o they_o allow_v a_o satisfaction_n to_o justice_n yet_o they_o will_v
