epistle_n the_o apostle_n paul_n have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o jew_n who_o can_v not_o digest_v the_o equalize_a of_o the_o gentile_n with_o they_o and_o special_o with_o the_o factious_a jewish_a christian_n who_o think_v the_o gentile_n must_v become_v proselyte_n to_o moses_n as_o well_o as_o to_o christ_n if_o they_o will_v be_v justify_v and_o save_v at_o large_a confute_v this_o opinion_n and_o free_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o gentile_a christian_n from_o the_o imposition_n of_o this_o yoke_n as_o also_o do_v all_o the_o apostle_n act._n 15._o and_o in_o his_o argue_v prove_v that_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o justification_n of_o the_o gentile_n that_o abraham_n and_o the_o godly_a jew_n themselves_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o it_o but_o by_o faith_n and_o that_o by_o the_o work_n of_o it_o and_o consequent_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o covenant_n of_o innocency_n which_o no_o man_n ever_o keep_v no_o man_n can_v ever_o be_v justify_v and_o therefore_o that_o they_o be_v to_o look_v for_o justification_n by_o christ_n alone_o and_o by_o faith_n in_o he_o or_o by_o mere_a christianity_n which_o the_o gentile_n may_v have_v as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n the_o partition-wall_n be_v take_v down_o this_o brief_o be_v the_o true_a scope_n of_o paul_n in_o these_o controversy_n §_o 2._o but_o in_o paul_n own_o day_n there_o be_v something_n in_o his_o epistle_n which_o the_o unlearned_a and_o unstable_a do_v wrest_v as_o they_o do_v the_o other_o scripture_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n as_o peter_n tell_v we_o 2_o pet._n 2._o and_o it_o seem_v by_o the_o epistle_n of_o james_n that_o this_o be_v part_n of_o it_o for_o he_o be_v fain_o there_o earnest_o to_o dispute_v against_o some_o who_o think_v that_o faith_n without_o christian_a work_n themselves_o will_v justify_v and_o flat_o affirm_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o practical_a faith_n in_o which_o be_v contain_v a_o consent_n or_o covenant_n to_o obey_v which_o first_o put_v we_o into_o a_o justify_v state_n so_o it_o be_v that_o practical_a

that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v judge_v that_o be_v justify_v or_o condemn_v according_a to_o their_o work_n but_o it_o be_v not_o this_o controversy_n between_o faith_n and_o work_n which_o i_o be_o now_o to_o speak_v to_o have_v do_v it_o enough_o heretofore_o §_o 3._o from_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n till_o pelagius_n and_o augustine_n this_o controversy_n be_v little_o meddle_v with_o for_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n take_v not_o christianity_n in_o those_o day_n for_o a_o matter_n of_o shcolastick_a subtlety_n but_o of_o plain_a faith_n and_o piety_n and_o content_v themselves_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o that_o christ_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o righteousness_n as_o he_o be_v
