word_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v make_v insufficient_a he_o be_v spoil_v of_o his_o prophèticall_a office_n if_o new_a law_n be_v make_v and_o lay_v upon_o

of_o his_o priesthood_n three_o we_o agree_v not_o neither_o in_o the_o defiinition_n neither_o in_o the_o original_n nor_o in_o the_o effect_n of_o faith_n which_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o

say_v he_o which_o say_v he_o know_v god_n and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n be_v a_o liar_n but_o in_o these_o thing_n we_o confess_v we_o disagree_v in_o three_o special_a point_n first_o of_o all_o in_o the_o original_n of_o good_a work_n work_n that_o be_v to_o say_v from_o whence_o they_o come_v second_o what_o those_o good_a work_n be_v and_o three_o to_o what_o use_n they_o be_v good_a as_o touch_v the_o first_o principal_a point_n we_o find_v no_o other_o freewill_n in_o man_n than_o that_o which_o be_v make_v free_a by_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n and_o we_o affirm_v that_o our_o nature_n be_v in_o that_o state_n into_o the_o which_o it_o be_v fall_v have_v need_n not_o only_o to_o be_v help_v and_o sustain_v but_o rather_o to_o be_v mortify_v and_o as_o it_o be_v kill_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o find_v our_o nature_n not_o only_o weaken_v in_o grace_n but_o also_o destitute_a of_o all_o strength_n and_o enemy_n to_o all_o goodness_n and_o dead_a yea_o and_o putrify_v in_o sin_n and_o corruption_n and_o this_o honour_n we_o give_v whole_o unto_o god_n neither_o do_v we_o think_v that_o in_o this_o matter_n we_o ought_v in_o any_o wise_a to_o be_v join_v with_o god_n for_o we_o assign_v to_o his_o grace_n and_o mercy_n the_o beginning_n the_o middle_a and_o the_o end_n of_o work_v in_o we_o concern_v the_o second_o point_n we_o acknowledge_v no_o other_o rule_n of_o righteousness_n and_o obedience_n which_o may_v stand_v before_o god_n than_o his_o commandment_n which_o be_v faithful_o describe_v and_o put_v down_o to_o we_o in_o his_o word_n to_o the_o which_o we_o think_v it_o not_o meet_v that_o any_o creature_n shall_v add_v any_o thing_n that_o apertain_v to_o the_o build_n of_o man_n conscience_n or_o detract_v from_o the_o same_o concern_v the_o third_o point_n namely_o to_o what_o use_n these_o good_a work_n be_v profitable_a we_o confess_v that_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o come_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v in_o we_o have_v their_o beginning_n from_o so_o good_a a_o original_n they_o be_v good_a and_o aught_o to_o be_v call_v by_o that_o name_n howbeit_o if_o god_n will_v examine_v they_o according_a to_o the_o rigour_n of_o his_o justice_n he_o shall_v find_v many_o thing_n in_o they_o worthy_a of_o condemnation_n we_o say_v also_o that_o they_o be_v profitable_a for_o a_o other_o use_n because_o by_o they_o our_o god_n be_v glorify_v &_o man_n bring_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o but_o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v within_o we_o for_o he_o be_v certain_o know_v by_o those_o effect_n we_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o his_o elect_a and_o of_o those_o that_o be_v predestinate_a to_o salvation_n but_o for_o so_o much_o as_o it_o come_v in_o question_n to_o know_v by_o what_o title_n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n appertain_v 5._o unto_o we_o we_o say_v with_o s._n paul_n eternal_a life_n be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n and_o not_o a_o due_a reward_n of_o our_o merit_n for_o by_o this_o mean_v christ_n jesus_n do_v justify_v we_o with_o his_o righteousness_n only_o which_o be_v impute_v unto_o we_o

liberality_n of_o our_o god_n all_o these_o riches_n &_o treasure_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n use_v the_o preach_n of_o god_n word_n &_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o this_o end_n not_o as_o though_o it_o have_v need_n of_o those_o mean_n for_o god_n be_v omnipotent_a but_o because_o so_o it_o please_v he_o to_o apply_v
