scripture_n will_v not_o have_v say_v work_v out_o your_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_v and_o if_o you_o through_o the_o spirit_n do_v mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n you_o shall_v live_v and_o therefore_o when_o paul_n do_v so_o earnest_o plead_v that_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v evident_a he_o do_v only_o exclude_v these_o legal_a performance_n and_o observation_n that_o the_o jew_n rest_v in_o who_o have_v not_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o that_o no_o work_n however_o so_o good_a or_o holy_a be_v perform_v by_o man_n aught_o to_o be_v rest_v in_o as_o a_o foundation_n or_o ground_n of_o justification_n for_o that_o be_v to_o exclude_v christ_n and_o make_v his_o death_n of_o no_o effect_n and_o again_o when_o james_n do_v plead_v so_o earnest_o that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o give_v a_o instance_n in_o abraham_n and_o rahab_n he_o only_o place_v faith_n and_o work_n together_o viz._n such_o work_v as_o accompany_v true_a faith_n and_o work_v together_o with_o it_o as_o necessary_a instrument_n and_o condition_n whereby_o to_o obtain_v justification_n but_o not_o to_o be_v the_o foundation_n thereof_o 8._o and_o whereas_o paul_n general_o so_o much_o use_v that_o manner_n of_o speech_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o by_o faith_n he_o do_v not_o mean_v only_o that_o single_a virtue_n call_v faith_n but_o as_o by_o way_n of_o synecdoche_n the_o most_o eminent_a or_o note_a part_n be_v put_v for_o the_o whole_a as_o when_o in_o

especial_o in_o that_o note_a place_n gal._n 3.23_o but_o before_o faith_n come_v we_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n etc._n etc._n and_o verse_n 5._o but_o after_o that_o faith_n be_v come_v etc._n etc._n where_o certain_o paul_n do_v not_o mean_v only_o that_o single_a virtue_n call_v faith_n but_o the_o whole_a evangelical_n dispensation_n with_o all_o the_o spiritual_a gift_n and_o grace_n of_o it_o and_o again_o gal._n 3.2_o receive_v you_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n or_o by_o the_o hear_n of_o faith_n which_o have_v the_o same_o signification_n and_o thus_o in_o common_a speech_n among_o christian_n and_o christian_a writer_n the_o christian_a faith_n do_v signify_v the_o whole_a christian_a religion_n and_o obedience_n and_o so_o unbelief_n in_o scripture_n
