to_o paradise_n by_o this_o false_a conclusion_n thou_o may_v know_v my_o brother_n in_o what_o a_o error_n thou_o be_v for_o thou_o ween_v to_o have_v the_o faith_n that_o make_v man_n righteous_a

rich_a and_o to_o clothe_v thyself_o with_o white_a raiment_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n with_o christ_n innocency_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o shame_n of_o thy_o nakedness_n which_o be_v the_o great_a filthiness_n of_o thy_o comparison_n sin_n be_v not_o see_v to_o the_o whole_a world_n then_o be_v the_o justify_n faith_n as_o it_o be_v a_o flame_n of_o fire_n which_o can_v but_o cast_v forth_o

that_o faith_n alone_o consume_v and_o burn_v away_o sin_n without_o the_o help_n of_o work_n and_o yet_o that_o the_o same_o faith_n can_v be_v without_o good_a work_n wherefore_o like_a as_o if_o we_o see_v a_o flame_n of_o fire_n that_o give_v no_o light_n we_o know_v by_o and_o by_o that_o it_o be_v but_o vain_a and_o paint_a even_o so_o when_o we_o see_v not_o some_o light_n of_o good_a

it_o for_o certain_a that_o s._n james_n mean_v so_o when_o he_o 2._o say_v show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_n and_o i_o will_v show_v thou_o my_o faith_n by_o my_o work_n for_o his_o

the_o effect_n of_o faith_n also_o we_o may_v liken_v this_o holy_a faith_n to_o the_o godhead_n which_o be_v in_o jesus_n comparison_n christ_n who_o be_v very_a man_n but_o without_o sin_n do_v wonderful_a thing_n heal_v the_o sick_a give_v sight_n to_o the_o blind_a walk_v upon_o the_o water_n and_o raise_v up_o the_o dead_a unto_o life_n again_o and_o yet_o these_o marvelous_a work_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n that_o he_o be_v god_n for_o before_o he_o do_v any_o of_o those_o thing_n he_o be_v god_n and_o the_o lawful_a and_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n and_o he_o need_v not_o to_o work_v those_o miracle_n to_o make_v himself_o god_n by_o they_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v god_n therefore_o he_o do_v they_o and_o so_o the_o miracle_n that_o christ_n wrought_v make_v he_o not_o to_o be_v god_n but_o show_v open_o that_o he_o be_v god_n in_o like_o wise_a true_a faith_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o godhead_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o christian_a which_o do_v wondrous_a work_n and_o be_v never_o weary_a of_o well-doing_n and_o yet_o those_o work_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n that_o a_o christian_n be_v a_o christian_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o be_v righteous_a good_a holy_a and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n neither_o need_v he_o to_o work_v all_o those_o good_a work_n to_o become_v such_o a_o one_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v a_o christian_n by_o faith_n like_a as_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o man_n be_v also_o god_n by_o his_o godhead_n he_o do_v all_o those_o good_a work_n which_o make_v not_o the_o christian_n to_o be_v righteous_a and_o good_a but_o show_v he_o to_o be_v good_a righteous_a and_o holy_a so_o then_o like_a as_o christ_n godhead_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o he_o wrought_v miracy_n even_o so_o faith_n work_v through_o love_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o good_a work_n that_o a_o christian_a man_n do_v and_o like_v as_o a_o man_n may_v say_v of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o he_o have_v do_v this_o miracle_n or_o that_o and_o that_o those_o miracle_n beside_o that_o they_o glorify_v god_n be_v also_o a_o great_a honour_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o be_v man_n who_o for_o his_o obedience_n even_o unto_o death_n be_v recompense_v at_o god_n hand_n in_o his_o resurrection_n and_o have_v give_v unto_o he_o all_o power_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n which_o he_o have_v not_o afore_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o manhood_n but_o deserve_v it_o by_o the_o union_n which_o be_v betwixt_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n so_o do_v faith_n in_o a_o christian_a which_o faith_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o union_n that_o it_o have_v with_o the_o soul_n attribute_v that_o thing_n to_o the_o one_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o other_o whereupon_o it_o come_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n promise_v the_o christian_a everlasting_a life_n for_o his_o good_a work_n because_o good_a work_n be_v the_o fruit_n and_o testimony_n of_o lively_a faith_n and_o proceed_v of_o it_o as_o light_n proceed_v from_o a_o flame_n of_o fire_n according_a as_o i_o have_v say_v heretofore_o and_o by_o this_o holy_a faith_n which_o embrace_v jesus_n christ_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v join_v with_o christ_n and_o be_v so_o unite_a and_o knit_v to_o he_o that_o whatsoever_o christ_n have_v merit_v and_o deserve_v the_o same_o be_v impute_v unto_o the_o soul_n as_o though_o it_o have_v merit_v and_o deserve_v it_o and_o therefore_o s._n austin_n say_v that_o god_n crown_v his_o own_o gift_n in_o us._n of_o this_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o jesus_n christ_n christ_n himself_o bear_v good_a record_n where_o he_o pray_v to_o his_o father_n for_o his_o apostle_n and_o for_o such_o as_o shall_v believe_v in_o he_o by_o their_o preach_n i_o pray_v not_o say_v he_o for_o they_o only_o 17._o but_o also_o for_o all_o those_o that_o shall_v believe_v in_o i_o through_o their_o word_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v all_o one_o thing_n that_o like_a as_o thou_o my_o father_n art_n in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o thou_o so_o they_o also_o may_v be_v one_o in_o we_o and_o that_o the_o world_n may_v believe_v that_o thou_o have_v send_v i_o and_o that_o i_o have_v give_v they_o the_o glory_n which_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o so_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v one_o selfe-fame_n thing_n like_a as_o thou_o and_o i_o be_v one_o whereby_o it_o appear_v evident_o that_o if_o we_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o preach_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n &_o rise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n we_o become_v all_o one_o thing_n with_o he_o 4._o and_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v all_o one_o with_o god_n we_o also_o become_v all_o one_o with_o god_n by_o the_o mean_a 6._o of_o jesus_n christ_n o_o wonderful_a glory_n of_o the_o christian_a to_o who_o it_o be_v grant_v through_o faith_n to_o possess_v the_o unspeakable_a benefit_n which_o the_o angel_n long_o to_o behold_v by_o this_o present_a discourse_n a_o man_n may_v plain_o perceive_v the_o difference_n that_o be_v betwixt_o we_o &_o they_o that_o defend_v the_o justification_n by_o faith_n and_o work_v together_o herein_o we_o agree_v with_o they_o that_o we_o establish_v work_n affirm_v that_o the_o faith_n which_o justify_v can_v be_v without_o good_a work_n and_o that_o those_o which_o be_v become_v righteous_a be_v they_o that_o do_v the_o good_a work_n that_o may_v right_o be_v call_v good_a work_n but_o we_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o this_o that_o we_o say_v that_o faith_n 2._o make_v man_n righteous_a without_o the_o help_n of_o work_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v ready_a namely_o because_o that_o by_o faith_n we_o put_v on_o christ_n &_o make_v 3._o his_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n to_o be_v we_o and_o see_v the_o case_n so_o stand_v that_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v give_v we_o by_o faith_n we_o can_v be_v so_o thankless_a blind_a and_o unhappy_a as_o not_o to_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v of_o sufficient_a ability_n 2._o to_o make_v we_o acceptable_a and_o right_a before_o god_n let_v we_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n if_o the_o blood_n of_o ox_n and_o goat_n and_o the_o ash_n of_o a_o cow_n sprinkle_v cleanse_v the_o unclean_a as_o touch_v the_o cleanse_n of_o the_o flesh_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v that_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o by_o the_o everlasting_a spirit_n offer_v himself_o undefiled_a unto_o god_n to_o cleanse_v our_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n to_o serve_v the_o live_a god_n

and_o therefore_o after_o that_o s._n paul_n have_v say_v that_o as_o touch_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n he_o have_v live_v 3._o unblameable_a he_o add_v and_o yet_o whatsoever_o i_o have_v gain_v by_o it_o i_o have_v account_v it_o in_o all_o respect_n to_o be_v but_o loss_n for_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n and_o special_o i_o esteem_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v loss_n for_o the_o excellent_a knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n my_o lord_n for_o who_o i_o have_v count_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v loss_n and_o deem_v they_o but_o as_o dung_n so_o i_o may_v win_v christ_n and_o be_v find_v in_o he_o not_o have_v my_o own_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o righteousness_n be_v give_v of_o god_n i_o mean_v the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n that_o i_o may_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n o_o most_o notable_a word_n which_o all_o christian_n ought_v to_o have_v engrave_v in_o their_o heart_n pray_v god_n to_o make_v they_o to_o taste_v it_o perfect_o loe_o how_o s._n paul_n show_v plain_o that_o whosoever_o know_v christ_n aright_o esteem_v all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v hurtful_a forsomuch_o as_o they_o make_v we_o to_o swerve_v from_o our_o trust_n in_o jesus_n christ_n to_o who_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o impute_v his_o salvation_n and_o to_o trust_v only_o unto_o he_o alone_o and_o to_o enforce_v this_o sentence_n the_o more_o he_o add_v further_a that_o he_o esteem_v all_o thing_n but_o as_o dung_n so_o he_o may_v gain_v christ_n and_o be_v find_v incorporate_v in_o he_o declare_v thereby_o that_o whosoever_o trust_v in_o his_o own_o work_n and_o pretend_v to_o justify_v himself_o by_o they_o get_v not_o jesus_n christ_n neither_o be_v ingraft_v into_o he_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o whole_a mystery_n of_o our_o faith_n consist_v in_o the_o truth_n hereof_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v what_o he_o mean_v to_o say_v he_o add_v and_o repeat_v oftentimes_o that_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o all_o the_o outward_a justification_n and_o all_o the_o righteousness_n that_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o he_o will_v clothe_v himself_o with_o the_o righteousness_n which_o god_n give_v by_o faith_n to_o all_o they_o that_o believe_v that_o all_o our_o sin_n be_v full_o chastise_v and_o punish_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v 18._o be_v make_v our_o wisdom_n righteousness_n holiness_n and_o redemption_n to_o the_o end_n as_o it_o be_v write_v that_o he_o which_o will_v glory_v shall_v glory_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o in_o his_o own_o work_n very_o true_a it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n there_o be_v some_o text_n to_o be_v find_v which_o be_v misunderstand_v seem_v to_o gainsay_v this_o holy_a doctrine_n of_o s._n paul_n and_o to_o attribute_v justification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n unto_o work_n and_o to_o charity_n but_o those_o authority_n have_v already_o be_v well_o expound_v by_o some_o who_o have_v show_v plain_o that_o such_o as_o have_v understand_v they_o in_o the_o sense_n aforesaid_a understand_v they_o not_o aright_o wherefore_o my_o dearebeloved_n brethren_n let_v we_o not_o follow_v the_o fond_a opinion_n of_o the_o bewitched_a

the_o merit_n of_o his_o son_n who_o by_o his_o own_o bloodshed_n have_v set_v we_o free_a from_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o the_o law_n and_o from_o the_o tyranny_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o have_v bring_v we_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n to_o give_v we_o life_n and_o endless_a felicity_n i_o say_v yet_o further_o that_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o dominion_n of_o the_o
