justification_n to_o which_o purpose_n call_v to_o mind_v the_o word_n in_o the_o very_a place_n
allege_v we_o say_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o himself_o and_o saint_n peter_n know_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o only_o 2._o by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n even_o we_o have_v believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n for_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v for_o if_o the_o faithful_a such_o as_o peter_n and_o paul_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o work_n then_o be_v they_o justify_v without_o work_n neither_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o faithful_a concur_v unto_o their_o justification_n §_o ix_o but_o for_o all_o this_o bellarmine_n will_v prove_v that_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o galatian_n the_o galatian_n the_o work_v only_o do_v without_o faith_n be_v exclude_v from_o justification_n by_o certain_a consequence_n which_o the_o apostle_n infer_v which_o say_v he_o be_v most_o strong_a against_o work_n do_v without_o faith_n but_o most_o weak_a against_o work_n wrought_v by_o faith_n that_o they_o be_v strong_a against_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n i_o do_v confess_v but_o that_o they_o be_v weak_a against_o justification_n by_o work_n of_o grace_n they_o be_v equal_o strong_a against_o all_o i_o do_v deny_v for_o the_o apostle_n when_o in_o the_o question_n of_o justification_n he_o exclude_v work_n do_v not_o distinguish_v of_o work_n whether_o proceed_v from_o nature_n or_o from_o grace_n as_o if_o by_o the_o one_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o not_o by_o the_o other_o but_o general_o exclude_v all_o even_a those_o which_o be_v command_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n thereby_o mean_v all_o inherent_a righteousness_n whatsoever_o even_o charity_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o 5._o end_n of_o the_o law_n and_o proceed_v from_o faith_n unfeigned_a for_o the_o law_n be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o all_o inherent_a righteousness_n whencesoever_o it_o proceed_v neither_o be_v the_o papist_n able_a to_o produce_v any_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n wherein_o the_o apostle_n either_o affirm_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n proceed_v from_o grace_n or_o propound_v this_o question_n to_o be_v dispute_v whether_o work_n do_v justify_v without_o faith_n but_o even_o whether_o faith_n do_v justify_v without_o work_n always_o conclude_v the_o affirmative_a that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n thereby_o teach_v that_o work_n do_v justify_v before_o god_n neither_o without_o faith_n nor_o yet_o with_o it_o §_o x._o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o needful_a point_n worthy_a grace_n to_o be_v insist_v upon_o and_o for_o the_o satisfy_n of_o bellarmine_n objection_n wherein_o he_o please_v himself_o we_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o there_o be_v two_o way_n to_o life_n eternal_a which_o god_n have_v propound_v to_o man_n the_o one_o in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n
