31._o psalm_n he_o warn_v all_o man_n that_o this_o deduction_n upon_o s._n paul_n speech_n abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n therefore_o work_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v the_o right_a way_n to_o hell_n and_o damnation_n and_o last_o which_o be_v in_o itself_o very_o plain_a that_o we_o may_v see_v this_o apostle_n do_v purposely_o thus_o commend_v unto_o we_o the_o necessity_n of_o good_a work_n and_o the_o inanity_n and_o insufficiency_n of_o only_a faith_n to_o correct_v the_o error_n of_o such_o as_o misconstrue_v s._n paul_n word_n for_o the_o same_o the_o say_v holy_a doctor_n lib._n 83._o q._n 9_o 76._o note_v that_o of_o purpose_n he_o take_v the_o very_a same_o example_n of_o abraham_n who_o s._n paul_n say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o

his_o only_a son_n but_o how_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n see_v the_o annotation_n upon_o that_o place_n rom._n 4._o verse_n 1._o answer_n your_o note_n out_o of_o

faith_n the_o help_n of_o god_n to_o the_o overcome_v of_o their_o own_o evil_a concupiscence_n but_o do_v despise_v the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n and_o by_o a_o dead_a faith_n do_v promise_n to_o

against_o who_o s._n augustine_n do_v write_v whereas_o we_o by_o faith_n only_o justify_v we_o mean_v not_o to_o exclude_v the_o do_n but_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o good_a work_n as_o for_o the_o heretic_n which_o do_v mistake_v the_o scripture_n and_o out_o of_o the_o wholesome_a word_n of_o s._n paul_n do_v like_o spider_n suck_v poisonful_a ivyce_n the_o same_o be_v turn_v into_o their_o
