conscience_n of_o thy_o own_o unworthines_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o wring_v from_o thou_o thy_o steadfast_a faith_n in_o christ_n but_o believe_v against_o sense_n and_o reason_n and_o hope_v against_o hope_n as_o abraham_n do_v this_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n believe_v in_o christ_n and_o thou_o shall_v be_v save_v 16.16_o indeed_o it_o please_v god_n many_o time_n so_o to_o try_v his_o servant_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o faith_n as_o that_o their_o trial_n seem_v to_o oppugn_v his_o promise_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o promise_n be_v firm_o to_o be_v believe_v and_o we_o be_v to_o be_v persuade_v 22._o that_o when_o any_o thing_n do_v happen_v unto_o we_o contrary_a to_o the_o promise_n and_o the_o lord_n show_v himself_o unto_o we_o otherwise_o then_o the_o promise_n sound_v as_o our_o saviour_n show_v himself_o to_o the_o woman_n which_o be_v a_o cananite_n matth._n 15.23.28_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o trial_n whereby_o the_o lord_n howsoever_o he_o exercise_v we_o for_o a_o time_n will_v yet_o do_v we_o good_a in_o the_o end_n deut._n 8.16_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o let_v go_v our_o hold_n or_o suffer_v the_o promise_n which_o be_v our_o staff_n and_o stay_n to_o be_v wrest_v out_o of_o our_o hand_n rather_o let_v we_o imitate_v abraham_n faith_n in_o this_o place_n who_o when_o he_o be_v command_v to_o kill_v his_o son_n in_o who_o seed_n he_o have_v many_o promise_n yield_v indeed_o to_o the_o commandment_n and_o yet_o hold_v he_o to_o the_o promise_n though_o isaac_n be_v consume_v to_o ash_n yet_o shall_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n concern_v his_o seed_n be_v perform_v so_o job_n when_o he_o be_v so_o grievous_o afflict_v as_o that_o in_o his_o own_o sense_n and_o opinion_n of_o other_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o god_n favour_n yet_o say_v he_o though_o he_o kill_v i_o i_o will_v believe_v in_o he_o 13.15_o in_o like_a sort_n when_o as_o god_n promise_v life_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v &_o yet_o we_o die_v we_o must_v believe_v that_o although_o we_o die_v yet_o we_o shall_v live_v joh._n 11.25_o in_o a_o word_n we_o must_v learn_v by_o abraham_n example_n to_o give_v credit_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o power_n of_o god_n rather_o than_o to_o our_o own_o sense_n and_o reason_n for_o he_o be_v true_a and_o therefore_o will_v he_o be_v omnipotent_a and_o therefore_o can_v perform_v his_o promise_n second_o our_o faith_n must_v be_v fruitful_a as_o abraham_n be_v and_o we_o be_v to_o manifest_v it_o by_o good_a work_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v say_v of_o we_o 2.18_o as_o he_o do_v here_o of_o abraham_n now_o i_o know_v that_o thou_o fear_v god_n etc._n etc._n for_o although_o good_a work_n do_v not_o concur_v with_o faith_n to_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n as_o any_o cause_n thereof_o yet_o they_o concur_v in_o the_o subject_n that_o be_v the_o party_n justify_v as_o necessary_a fruit_n of_o his_o faith_n and_o testimony_n of_o his_o justification_n and_o therefore_o abraham_n although_o he_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o faith_n without_o work_n as_o paul_n say_v that_o be_v absolve_v from_o his_o sin_n and_o accept_v as_o righteous_a unto_o life_n yet_o he_o be_v justify_v not_o only_o in_o that_o sense_n by_o faith_n but_o in_o another_o sense_n that_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v just_a by_o work_n as_o james_n say_v but_o to_o this_o purpose_n most_o effectual_a be_v s._n james_n his_o argument_n in_o the_o second_o chap._n by_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o abraham_n be_v justify_v must_v we_o be_v justify_v but_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o bring_v forth_o good_a work_n as_o appear_v by_o this_o example_n and_o be_v not_o a_o idle_a or_o dead_a faith_n and_o therefore_o that_o faith_n whereby_o we_o must_v be_v justify_v must_v bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n or_o else_o it_o be_v not_o a_o lively_a &_o a_o true_a but_o a_o dead_a &_o counterfeit_a faith_n by_o which_o no_o man_n can_v be_v justify_v for_o howsoever_o faith_n alone_o do_v justify_v because_o it_o alone_o do_v apprehend_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o not_o love_n or_o any_o other_o grace_n yet_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v alone_o do_v not_o justify_v because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o true_a faith_n for_o even_o as_o the_o body_n without_o spirit_n or_o breath_n 2.26_o be_v judge_v to_o be_v dead_a so_o faith_n which_o be_v without_o work_n be_v dead_a and_o to_o conclude_v howsoever_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n be_v make_v to_o faith_n yet_o the_o sentence_n of_o salvation_n shall_v be_v pronounce_v according_a to_o our_o work_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v careful_a as_o abraham_n be_v to_o show_v our_o faith_n by_o our_o work_n for_o good_a work_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o evidence_n according_a to_o which_o the_o lord_n will_v judge_v of_o our_o faith_n in_o so_o much_o that_o where_o he_o find_v none_o 25.34_o he_o will_v say_v depart_v from_o i_o you_o curse_a into_o everlasting_a fire_n and_o where_o he_o find_v work_v give_v evidence_n to_o our_o faith_n he_o will_v say_v come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n inherit_v the_o
