for_o that_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 17._o verse_n before_o that_o every_o good_a give_v &_o every_o perfect_a gift_n be_v from_o above_o and_o come_v down_o

the_o 25._o verse_n there_o intreat_v of_o work_n wherein_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v what_o s._n james_n mean_v in_o maintain_v justification_n by_o work_n whither_o he_o mean_v justification_n before_o god_n or_o only_o before_o man_n sure_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v take_v that_o he_o mean_v only_o before_o man_n else_o shall_v he_o direct_o write_v against_o saint_n paul_n if_o he_o

every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n and_o that_o every_o man_n that_o be_v doer_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v justify_v what_o plain_a matter_n can_v there_o be_v to_o maintain_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o here_o you_o see_v s._n paul_n &_o saint_n james_n do_v agree_v very_o well_o in_o maintain_v the_o moral_a law_n which_o here_o they_o entreat_v of_o to_o justify_v but_o in_o other_o place_n where_o paul_n speak_v against_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n that_o they_o justify_v not_o in_o god_n sight_n he_o mean_v only_o the_o
