another_o objection_n if_o faith_n only_o be_v sufficient_a to_o justification_n it_o will_v follow_v 741._o that_o good_a work_n be_v not_o necessary_a but_o the_o consequent_a be_v false_a and_o therefore_o the_o antecedent_n also_o be_v false_a that_o faith_n any_o be_v sufficient_a vega_n confirm_v the_o minor_a with_o this_o argument_n unless_o good_a work_n have_v be_v necessary_a in_o

shall_v afterward_o inquire_v into_o the_o minor_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o argument_n and_o first_o i_o deny_v the_o major_a for_o this_o be_v not_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n salvation_n be_v obtain_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n only_o therefore_o good_a work_n be_v not_o necessary_a the_o necessity_n of_o virtue_n and_o honest_a discipline_n be_v and_o always_o have_v be_v very_o great_a in_o all_o respect_v both_o private_a and_o public_a yet_o this_o necessity_n do_v not_o at_o all_o detract_v from_o the_o peculiar_a dignity_n of_o faith_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o justification_n as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o justification_n of_o faith_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o necessity_n nor_o lessen_v the_o care_n of_o a_o godly_a life_n therefore_o both_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o holiness_n be_v necessary_a the_o one_o to_o justify_v sinner_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o the_o other_o to_o exercise_v they_o that_o be_v justify_v in_o this_o world_n therefore_o there_o be_v need_n of_o a_o distinction_n in_o this_o case_n for_o according_a to_o philosophy_n a_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v necessary_a two_o manner_n of_o way_n first_o absolute_o and_o simple_o when_o one_o thing_n be_v so_o necessary_a to_o absolute_a another_o that_o it_o can_v be_v do_v or_o consist_v without_o it_o second_o in_o respect_n of_o consequence_n when_o a_o thing_n be_v of_o such_o a_o salvation_n nature_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o begin_v to_o be_v other_o thing_n also_o be_v join_v with_o it_o or_o at_o least_o soon_o follow_v after_o and_o thus_o good_a work_n in_o person_n justify_v be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n not_o simple_o but_o in_o regard_n of_o consequence_n by_o what_o i_o have_v say_v any_o reader_n that_o be_v not_o void_a of_o sense_n may_v easy_o discern_v that_o we_o seek_v not_o to_o banish_v good_a work_n out_o of_o the_o world_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v necessary_a but_o we_o only_o remove_v they_o from_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o justify_v that_o so_o both_o faith_n and_o work_n may_v be_v put_v each_o of_o they_o in_o their_o own_o place_n and_o contain_v within_o their_o own_o bound_n for_o paul_n do_v not_o in_o vain_a nor_o without_o great_a necessity_n exhort_v with_o much_o life_n vehemency_n to_o the_o godly_a practice_n of_o a_o

than_o that_o those_o who_o be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n shall_v resemble_v he_o exact_o in_o their_o manner_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o their_o life_n and_o as_o they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v citizen_n of_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n they_o shall_v according_a to_o their_o power_n endeavour_v to_o lead_v a_o life_n like_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n on_o the_o contrary_n what_o be_v more_o abominable_a or_o odious_a than_o if_o those_o who_o have_v be_v engage_v by_o so_o many_o benefit_n exalt_v to_o so_o great_a dignity_n and_o be_v join_v to_o he_o into_o so_o

this_o we_o and_o they_o agree_v that_o work_v of_o piety_n be_v very_o necessary_a but_o we_o must_v consider_v wherein_o this_o necessity_n lie_v for_o they_o be_v effect_n which_o of_o necessity_n

be_v feign_v by_o the_o apostle_n for_o amplification_n which_o be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v and_o see_v thomas_n aquin._n here_o by_o all_o faith_n understand_v perfect_a faith_n therefore_o because_o

we_o speak_v this_o by_o a_o very_a usual_a trope_n as_o we_o say_v that_o a_o unprofitable_a and_o idle_a man_n be_v no_o man_n or_o wine_z which_o be_v decay_v and_o have_v lose_v its_o strength_n be_v no_o wine_n therefore_o that_o which_o be_v cite_v out_o of_o paul_n if_o i_o have_v all_o faith_n but_o have_v not_o charity_n etc._n etc._n must_v be_v understand_v thus_o not_o that_o paul_n simple_o affirm_v faith_n to_o be_v a_o gift_n of_o god_n without_o charity_n but_o he_o speak_v figurative_o to_o amplify_v the_o praise_n of_o charity_n as_o he_o that_o say_v though_o i_o have_v a_o hundred_o tongue_n and_o as_o many_o mouth_n yet_o i_o can_v not_o full_o set_v forth_o the_o matter_n as_o it_o be_v he_o do_v not_o therefore_o presuppose_v that_o there_o be_v any_o man_n who_o

hitherto_o say_v do_v not_o satisfy_v the_o adversary_n i_o answer_v thus_o that_o this_o speech_n of_o paul_n belong_v not_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o justification_n but_o to_o the_o life_n of_o the_o justify_v person_n if_o i_o have_v all_o faith_n say_v he_o but_o want_v charity_n etc._n etc._n what_o then_o therefore_o charity_n enter_v together_o with_o faith_n into_o justification_n but_o this_o be_v no_o good_a consequence_n but_o this_o be_v rather_o the_o consequence_n thereof_o therefore_o charity_n be_v necessary_a in_o the_o regenerate_v which_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v grant_v for_o love_n be_v necessary_a and_o please_a to_o god_n to_o wit_n in_o those_o that_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o reconciliation_n and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ._n for_o god_n natural_o

so_o then_o faith_n that_o be_v christ_n apprehend_v by_o faith_n justify_v we_o free_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o must_v not_o receive_v this_o grace_n in_o vain_a but_o he_o receive_v it_o

and_o great_a than_o faith_n therefore_o we_o be_v justify_v more_o by_o charity_n than_o by_o faith_n or_o if_o you_o will_v rather_o take_v it_o thus_o if_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o

that_o i_o may_v brief_o answer_v both_o these_o argument_n first_o let_v we_o right_o conceive_v not_o only_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o in_o what_o sense_n he_o speak_v they_o these_o

among_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o woman_n therefore_o john_n the_o baptist_n must_v be_v great_a than_o christ._n i_o answer_v from_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n though_o christ_n seem_v less_o than_o john_n the_o baptist_n by_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o general_a opinion_n of_o people_n yet_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n he_o be_v and_o always_o

do_v without_o faith_n and_o grace_n avail_v nothing_o to_o justification_n but_o because_o the_o work_n of_o that_o holy_a man_n be_v not_o such_o be_v replenish_v with_o faith_n and_o grace_n therefore_o he_o be_v true_o say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o own_o work_n before_o god_n yet_o not_o as_o his_o own_o work_n what_o do_v you_o say_v be_v he_o justify_v by_o work_n of_o who_o paul_n say_v express_o that_o he_o have_v no_o cause_n of_o glory_v in_o his_o work_n before_o god_n be_v the_o apostle_n ignorant_a of_o the_o holiness_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o work_n of_o

that_o he_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n for_o abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v account_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n how_o then_o will_v those_o interpreter_n agree_v with_o the_o

comment_v upon_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o epistle_n he_o affirm_v that_o we_o misunderstand_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n because_o his_o whole_a drift_n through_o all_o that_o epistle_n be_v

which_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n but_o that_o god_n by_o he_o may_v reveal_v his_o son_n among_o the_o gentile_n and_o may_v manifest_v unto_o the_o world_n that_o heavenly_a trophy_n and_o

which_o he_o have_v experience_v in_o himself_o for_o he_o be_v call_v for_o this_o purpose_n to_o the_o apostleship_n that_o the_o infinite_o gracious_a lord_n and_o redeemer_n christ_n jesus_n might_n first_o exercise_v his_o mercy_n towards_o he_o and_o afterward_o by_o he_o declare_v his_o great_a mercy_n towards_o sinner_n not_o only_o by_o hisexample_n but_o also_o by_o his_o ministry_n for_o 1._o thus_o he_o bear_v witness_n of_o himself_o that_o the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n be_v commit_v to_o he_o for_o which_o he_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v a_o preacher_n and_o apostle_n

wherein_o the_o jew_n glory_v or_o work_v epistle_n pure_o moral_a perform_v before_o faith_n on_o which_o the_o gentile_n rely_v yea_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o paul_n remove_v the_o law_n from_o
