doctrine_n and_o charge_v it_o to_o be_v unreasonable_a and_o absurd_a and_o so_o unholy_a &_o therefore_o not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o true_a church_n and_o of_o the_o right_a faith_n profess_v therein_o for_o the_o proof_n whereof_o he_o give_v instance_n in_o five_o point_n and_o first_o he_o begin_v with_o justification_n by_o faith_n and_o against_o the_o truth_n thereof_o make_v this_o weak_a and_o childish_a sophism_n if_o faith_n say_v he_o justifi_v and_o assure_v the_o faithful_a of_o his_o justification_n then_o either_o it_o find_v he_o just_a before_o he_o believe_v or_o make_v he_o just_a after_o he_o believe_v but_o this_o division_n be_v insufficient_a and_o shall_v be_v make_v in_o this_o manner_n if_o faith_n justifi_v either_o it_o be_v before_o or_o when_o or_o after_o it_o be_v give_v but_o faith_n justifi_v both_o when_o and_o after_o it_o be_v give_v and_o do_v never_o find_v any_o man_n just_a before_o he_o have_v obtain_v a_o right_a faith_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n teach_v rom._n 8._o 30._o who_o he_o predestinate_v say_v the_o apostle_n they_o be_v call_v viz._n effectual_o by_o give_v to_o they_o a_o true_a faith_n and_o who_o he_o call_v
