this_o i_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v two_o contrary_a captain_n in_o you_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o flesh_n god_n have_v stir_v up_o in_o your_o body_n a_o strife_n and_o a_o battle_n for_o the_o

to_o overcome_v the_o devil_n and_o by_o violence_n to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o this_o be_v plain_o to_o renounce_v god_n and_o to_o set_v themselves_o in_o the_o

consist_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n if_o the_o law_n then_o that_o command_v charity_n be_v contrary_a to_o faith_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o charity_n be_v not_o of_o faith_n so_o paul_n plain_o confute_v that_o gloze_n which_o the_o sophister_n have_v forge_v touch_v their_o form_a faith_n and_o speak_v only_o of_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o law_n now_o the_o law_n be_v separate_a and_o set_v apart_o charity_n be_v also_o set_v apart_o with_o all_o that_o belong_v to_o the_o law_n and_o faith_n only_o be_v leave_v which_o justify_v and_o quicken_v to_o everlasting_a life_n paul_n therefore_o reason_v here_o out_o of_o a_o plain_a testimony_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o there_o be_v none_o which_o obtain_v justification_n and_o life_n before_o god_n charity_n but_o the_o believe_a man_n who_o obtain_v righteousness_n and_o everlasting_a life_n without_o the_o law_n and_o without_o charity_n by_o faith_n alone_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o law_n be_v not_o of_o faith_n that_o be_v the_o law_n be_v not_o faith_n or_o any_o thing_n belong_v to_o faith_n for_o it_o believe_v not_o neither_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n faith_n nor_o yet_o of_o faith_n therefore_o faith_n be_v a_o thing_n much_o differ_v from_o the_o law_n like_a as_o the_o promise_n be_v a_o thing_n much_o differ_v from_o the_o law_n for_o the_o promise_n be_v not_o apprehend_v by_o work_v but_o by_o beleve_v yea_o there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o difference_n between_o the_o promise_n and_o the_o law_n and_o consequent_o between_o faith_n and_o work_v as_o there_o be_v distance_n between_o heaven_n and_o earth_n it_o be_v impossible_a therefore_o that_o faith_n shall_v be_v of_o the_o law_n for_o faith_n only_o rest_v in_o the_o promise_n it_o only_o apprehend_v and_o know_v god_n and_o stand_v only_o in_o receive_v good_a thing_n of_o god._n other_o contrariwise_o the_o law_n and_o work_n consist_v in_o exact_v in_o do_v and_o in_o give_v

therefore_o it_o will_v needs_o have_v righteousness_n to_o stand_v in_o outward_a thing_n but_o we_o be_v teach_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o under_o the_o son_n
