be_v impute_v unto_o we_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n how_o we_o receive_v it_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v they_o be_v make_v we_o so_o that_o christ_n in_o we_o and_o we_o in_o he_o do_v live_v all_o the_o good_a gift_n of_o god_n be_v impute_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n testify_v almost_o every_o where_o and_o chief_o our_o lord_n himself_o say_v

very_o well_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o say_v only_o for_o christ_n himself_o in_o the_o third_o of_o john_n teach_v we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v save_v even_o after_o the_o

nothing_o that_o can_v save_v we_o but_o faith_n only_o wherefore_o chryst_n in_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o saint_n john_n say_v very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o except_o you_o eat_v the_o

any_o that_o desire_v to_o know_v more_o testimony_n by_o the_o which_o our_o justification_n in_o christ_n by_o faith_n only_o be_v prove_v then_o let_v he_o read_v the_o third_o and_o four_o chapter_n of_o s._n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o also_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n where_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o second_o chapter_n write_v thus_o now_o live_v i_o no_o long_o but_o

faith_n only_o in_o chryst_n justify_v we_o attribute_v not_o justification_n to_o faith_n as_o in_o respect_n that_o it_o be_v any_o work_n of_o we_o for_o faith_n also_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_o but_o because_o that_o faith_n only_o behold_v or_o regard_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o chryst_n and_o trust_v only_o herein_o &_o in_o none_o other_o thing_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o

justify_v of_o all_o we_o must_v show_v why_o not_o only_o we_o do_v not_o attribute_v justification_n to_o work_v but_o also_o wherefore_o we_o suffer_v not_o part_n thereof_o to_o be_v attribute_v to_o work_n and_o part_n to_o faith_n but_o say_v plain_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v only_o by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o work_n first_o for_o that_o god_n will_v in_o no_o wise_n have_v we_o to_o
