these_o word_n we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n 4_o of_o the_o law_n the_o prophet_n also_o say_v that_o a_o just_a man_n live_v by_o his_o faith_n the_o reason_n that_o the_o apostle_n use_v to_o prove_v this_o be_v many_o i_o will_v only_o set_v down_o three_o of_o they_o which_o be_v most_o apparent_a and_o evident_a the_o first_o be_v this_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n it_o be_v prove_v 10._o that_o all_o man_n have_v err_v and_o do_v amiss_o there_o be_v none_o that_o do_v good_a no_o not_o one_o so_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v and_o be_v that_o have_v sin_v in_o one_o be_v guilty_a in_o all_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o none_o can_v be_v save_v by_o their_o work_n and_o therefore_o either_o by_o faith_n or_o not_o at_o all_o the_o second_o be_v by_o the_o sentence_n and_o promise_v of_o the_o law_n this_o do_v and_o thou_o shall_v live_v but_o curse_a be_v he_o that_o abide_v not_o in_o all_o these_o commandment_n to_o do_v they_o but_o none_o be_v able_a to_o do_v so_o for_o then_o christ_n die_v in_o vain_a and_o his_o death_n have_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n &_o therefore_o all_o man_n be_v by_o nature_n under_o the_o curse_n and_o not_o able_a to_o redeem_v themselves_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o who_o be_v 12._o without_o sin_n jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v their_o redemption_n and_o apply_v unto_o they_o by_o faith_n three_o by_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o promise_n make_v to_o our_o father_n abraham_n thus_o the_o same_o way_n that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v and_o acquit_v from_o sin_n the_o same_o way_n be_v all_o his_o child_n justify_v but_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n for_o he_o beléeve_v god_n and_o it_o be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n and_o therefore_o must_v all_o the_o godly_a for_o ever_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n so_o that_o this_o must_v stand_v for_o a_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o he_o which_o seek_v any_o other_o way_n to_o have_v his_o sin_n put_v away_o whether_o it_o be_v by_o pardon_n merit_n or_o any_o way_n else_o then_o only_o by_o faith_n apprehend_v the_o merit_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v comfort_v in_o his_o soul_n by_o certain_a persuasion_n but_o must_v needs_o stagger_v and_o waver_v continual_o the_o second_o inward_a fruit_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n the_o father_n which_o come_v unto_o we_o when_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v for_o as_o man_n be_v separate_v from_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n so_o the_o same_o be_v remove_v and_o take_v away_o god_n and_o man_n be_v make_v one_o and_o be_v reconcile_v together_o again_o by_o which_o reconciliation_n the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v precure_v by_o the_o reconciler_n jesus_n christ_n to_o have_v his_o full_a course_n and_o passage_n unto_o man_n the_o which_o our_o saviour_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v the_o father_n love_v you_o because_o you_o have_v love_v i_o and_o beleve_v in_o i_o which_o thing_n s._n john_n

which_o 3._o thing_n whosoever_o be_v true_o persuade_v he_o shall_v have_v in_o his_o soul_n and_o conscience_n a_o unspeakable_a comfort_n for_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o grievous_a unto_o
