so_o much_o as_o all_o thing_n that_o may_v happen_v in_o diverse_a kind_n of_o common_a weal_n can_v not_o be_v comprise_v in_o they_o have_v make_v other_o statute_n and_o law_n the_o which_o all_o

to_o separate_v what_o s._n paul_n have_v join_v but_o i_o be_o of_o a_o contrary_a opinion_n that_o this_o only_a argument_n be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v that_o s._n paul_n never_o speak_v these_o thing_n because_o they_o hang_v not_o together_o for_o what_o thing_n stand_v better_a together_o and_o be_v more_o agreeable_a than_o the_o reason_n and_o doctrine_n of_o s._n paul_n and_o nothing_o be_v less_o agreeable_a than_o this_o that_o justice_n be_v not_o geaven_v without_o that_o faith_n that_o woork_v by_o charity_n and_o that_o no_o man_n can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n not_o the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n say_v s._n paul_n but_o the_o doer_n b._n of_o the_o law_n they_o shall_v be_v justify_v they_z therefore_o that_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v command_v in_o the_o

be_v make_v just_a by_o work_n you_o therefore_o knit_v those_o thing_n together_o that_o can_v be_v join_v but_o i_o will_v stand_v in_o it_o and_o prove_v by_o this_o reason_n only_o if_o i_o have_v none_o other_o that_o s._n paul_n will_v never_o speak_v it_o
