of_o god_o we_o shall_v make_v intercession_n or_o pray_v for_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o ourselves_o but_o let_v we_o consider_v with_o what_o ability_n he_o must_v be_v furnish_v

any_o where_o else_o but_o in_o christ_n alone_o wherefore_o the_o law_n do_v lead_v we_o by_o faith_n direct_o unto_o christ_n and_o yet_o more_o plain_o he_o say_v the_o law_n be_v our_o

be_v not_o destroy_v or_o darken_v but_o confirm_v and_o make_v light_n by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n the_o apostle_n go_v on_o in_o his_o confirmation_n and_o say_v what_o shall_v we_o

that_o do_v believe_v whereupon_o it_o be_v assure_o certain_a that_o the_o child_n shall_v be_v justify_v after_o the_o same_o sort_n that_o their_o father_n be_v as_o the_o apostle_n have_v in_o

who_o soever_o do_v with_o his_o work_v deserve_v any_o thing_n to_o he_o the_o reward_n be_v give_v as_o a_o thing_n of_o duty_n due_a unto_o he_o and_o not_o impute_v free_o as_o though_o it_o be_v no_o debt_n but_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o abraham_n unto_o righteousness_n therefore_o he_o receive_v righteousness_n not_o as_o a_o reward_n of_o duty_n ought_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o a_o gift_n not_o due_a but_o free_o give_v he_o and_o again_o to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o but_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a his_o faith_n be_v reckon_v for_o righteousness_n but_o to_o
