life_n be_v in_o outward_a show_n can_v not_o be_v righteous_a before_o god_n because_o as_o paul_n testify_v of_o they_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o righteousness_n 3._o of_o god_n and_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n have_v not_o submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n and_o likewise_o in_o regard_n hereof_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o find_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n a_o man_n that_o be_v true_o righteous_a before_o god_n for_o the_o papist_n hold_v that_o we_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o infusion_n of_o grace_n and_o practice_v of_o good_a work_n and_o that_o we_o can_v be_v no_o more_o righteous_a by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v unto_o we_o than_o we_o may_v be_v wise_a by_o another_o man_n wisdom_n or_o learn_v by_o another_o man_n learning_n but_o if_o they_o will_v due_o consider_v either_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o lord_n justice_n or_o the_o imperfection_n of_o our_o inherent_a grace_n and_o good_a work_n they_o will_v not_o imagine_v that_o the_o one_o can_v be_v satisfy_v by_o the_o other_o augustine_n 13._o say_v that_o which_o the_o law_n of_o work_n command_v by_o threaten_v the_o law_n of_o faith_n do_v obtain_v by_o believe_v christ_n jesus_n as_o he_o be_v mediator_n be_v as_o true_o give_v unto_o we_o of_o god_n as_o any_o land_n can_v be_v give_v by_o one_o to_o another_o and_o therefore_o we_o may_v as_o well_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o his_o righteousness_n as_o one_o man_n may_v be_v make_v rich_a by_o another_o man_n riches_n give_v unto_o he_o and_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o see_v the_o partiality_n of_o papist_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o impuration_n for_o they_o teach_v that_o the_o fasting_n and_o satisfactory_a 3._o deed_n of_o one_o man_n be_v

as_o well_o the_o supererogation_n of_o their_o spiritual_a work_n as_o those_o that_o abound_v in_o worldly_a good_n may_v give_v alm_n of_o their_o superfluity_n to_o they_o which_o be_v in_o necessity_n and_o yet_o they_o deny_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v impute_v unto_o we_o for_o justification_n as_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v accept_v the_o work_n of_o man_n to_o satisfy_v for_o we_o and_o not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o own_o son_n 2._o second_o man_n be_v make_v righteous_a by_o 2_o sanctification_n when_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o

before_o they_o like_v and_o love_v and_o live_v in_o sin_n now_o they_o abhor_v it_o and_o avoid_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o do_v righteousness_n be_v righteous_a as_o 7._o he_o be_v righteous_a and_o whosoever_o do_v not_o righteousness_n be_v not_o of_o god_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o make_v we_o perfect_o righteous_a but_o imperfect_o and_o not_o before_o god_n but_o before_o man_n and_o of_o this_o james_n speak_v say_v be_v not_o 21._o abraham_n our_o father_n justify_v through_o work_n when_o he_o offer_v his_o son_n on_o the_o altar_n you_o see_v locum_fw-la

and_o so_o do_v diverse_a of_o the_o schoolman_n expound_v that_o place_n and_o indeed_o unless_o we_o do_v so_o understand_v it_o the_o apostle_n james_n will_v contradict_v the_o apostle_n paul_n who_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o 28._o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n so_o that_o there_o be_v one_o righteousness_n impute_v another_o righteousness_n exercise_v and_o declare_v whosoever_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n merit_n they_o be_v at_o the_o same_o instant_n sanctify_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o make_v able_a to_o practice_v righteousness_n in_o their_o

2_o man_n may_v be_v know_v be_v to_o be_v learn_v for_o many_o will_v be_v reckon_v in_o this_o number_n which_o be_v unrighteous_a there_o be_v a_o generation_n 1●_n which_o be_v pure_a in_o their_o

good_a duty_n but_o endeavour_v to_o perform_v all_o be_v like_a to_o zacharias_n and_o elizabeth_n 6._o who_o be_v just_a before_o god_n and_o walk_v in_o all_o the_o commandment_n and_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n without_o reproof_n consider_v that_o god_n will_v not_o dispense_v with_o any_o of_o his_o servant_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o any_o one_o of_o his_o law_n as_o prince_n sometime_o upon_o special_a occasion_n dispense_v with_o some_o of_o their_o subject_n for_o penal_a statute_n and_o see_v that_o he_o who_o bind_v we_o to_o all_o in_o general_a bind_v we_o to_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a and_o that_o whosoever_o 10._o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o yet_o fail_v in_o one_o point_n be_v guilty_a of_o all_o a_o true_a righteous_a man_n will_v be_v as_o careful_a to_o

of_o rimmon_n to_o worship_v there_o and_o lean_v on_o my_o hand_n and_o i_o bow_v myself_o in_o the_o house_n of_o rimmon_n the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a unto_o thy_o servant_n in_o this_o point_n so_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o avoid_v all_o other_o sin_n save_v only_o one_o which_o serve_v most_o for_o their_o pleasure_n or_o profit_n they_o desire_v to_o be_v pardon_v for_o it_o these_o be_v

they_o lose_v not_o the_o name_n and_o dignity_n of_o righteous_a man_n for_o as_o the_o philosopher_n teach_v concern_v elementary_a body_n that_o they_o be_v not_o make_v of_o one_o element_n only_o
