see_v that_o he_o do_v much_o of_o the_o second_o table_n and_o little_a of_o the_o first_o and_o the_o hypocrite_n again_o do_v much_o of_o the_o first_o and_o little_a of_o the_o second_o let_v they_o consider_v that_o faith_n enable_v a_o man_n to_o have_v respect_n to_o all_o god_n commandment_n 119.7_o it_o work_v a_o general_a change_n and_o as_o this_o be_v true_a for_o the_o substance_n so_o it_o be_v also_o for_o degree_n for_o if_o god_n accept_v only_o effectual_a faith_n then_o so_o much_o efficacy_n and_o so_o much_o work_v as_o you_o find_v in_o any_o man_n so_o much_o faith_n there_o be_v if_o there_o be_v no_o work_n there_o be_v no_o faith_n if_o the_o work_v be_v few_o the_o faith_n be_v a_o languish_a faith_n if_o the_o work_v be_v many_o the_o faith_n

effectual_a faith_n which_o god_n accept_v than_o this_o justify_v our_o doctrine_n against_o the_o papist_n that_o say_v we_o teach_v that_o only_a faith_n justify_v and_o require_v no_o good_a work_n i_o say_v we_o teach_v that_o not_o a_o naked_a but_o a_o effectual_a faith_n do_v it_o so_o that_o all_o the_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o we_o be_v this_o we_o agree_v both_o in_o this_o that_o work_n be_v necessary_o require_v to_o salvation_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v see_v god_n without_o they_o without_o pureness_n of_o heart_n and_o integrity_n of_o life_n we_o say_v except_o man_n mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n by_o the_o spirit_n they_o shall_v die_v and_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n put_v upon_o man_n to_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n in_o this_o we_o agree_v justification_n but_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n they_o say_v that_o faith_n and_o work_v both_o be_v require_v to_o justify_v we_o say_v that_o nothing_o be_v require_v but_o faith_n and_o that_o work_v follow_v faith_n we_o say_v faith_n indeed_o be_v work_v and_o produce_v ●uch_v effect_n so_o that_o whereas_o they_o say_v faith_n and_o work_n we_o say_v faith_n only_o but_o it_o must_v be_v a_o effectual_a faith_n a_o work_a faith_n object_n if_o they_o object_v that_o place_n of_o james_n we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o faith_n but_o by_o work_n ans._n i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a justification_n there_o be_v a_o justification_n of_o the_o person_n double_a so_o be_v abraham_n justify_v by_o faith_n as_o paul_n express_v it_o rom._n 4._o 4._o but_o then_o there_o be_v a_o second_o justification_n a_o justification_n of_o the_o faith_n that_o abraham_n have_v he_o justify_v his_o faith_n by_o his_o work_n he_o show_v that_o he_o have_v not_o a_o dead_a faith_n a_o liveless_a faith_n a_o faith_n without_o work_n but_o that_o he_o have_v a_o lively_a effectual_a faith_n for_o he_o add_v work_n to_o his_o faith_n his_o work_n wrought_v together_o with_o his_o faith_n so_o that_o if_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o abraham_n be_v a_o hypocrite_n his_o work_v justify_v he_o that_o he_o be_v none_o if_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o abraham_n be_v a_o sinner_n his_o faith_n justify_v he_o and_o show_v that_o he_o be_v make_v righteous_a through_o faith_n note_n so_o there_o be_v a_o justification_n of_o the_o person_n and_o a_o justification_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o person_n as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o justify_v such_o a_o action_n simile_n or_o such_o a_o cause_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o he_o will_v make_v that_o just_a which_o be_v unjust_a before_o but_o he_o will_v make_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v just_a so_o abraham_n be_v declare_v to_o have_v a_o justify_v faith_n by_o that_o power_n and_o efficacy_n it_o wrought_v in_o he_o in_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n again_o it_o be_v object_v out_o of_o that_o place_n that_o by_o work_n faith_n be_v make_v perfect_a therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o faith_n be_v nothing_o alone_a if_o work_n be_v not_o join_v with_o it_o answ._n i_o answer_v what_o that_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o faith_n be_v make_v perfect_a by_o work_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o faith_n be_v make_v good_a by_o work_n the_o perfection_n of_o faith_n be_v declare_v by_o work_n as_o one_o that_o profess_v that_o he_o have_v a_o art_n simile_n and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o and_o that_o if_o he_o do_v the_o work_v wherein_o his_o art_n be_v show_v if_o he_o make_v any_o artificial_a work_n by_o that_o he_o make_v good_a his_o art_n or_o as_o when_o we_o say_v these_o tree_n be_v good_a because_o they_o have_v sap_n in_o they_o they_o be_v not_o dead_a tree_n now_o the_o tree_n be_v make_v perfect_a by_o the_o fruit_n so_o faith_n by_o work_n be_v make_v perfect_a not_o that_o work_v put_v life_n into_o faith_n the_o sap_n must_v first_o be_v in_o the_o tree_n and_o then_o it_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n so_o there_o must_v first_o be_v a_o life_n in_o faith_n and_o then_o it_o bring_v forth_o work_n so_o that_o when_o we_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v make_v perfect_a by_o work_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o work_v declare_v faith_n to_o be_v right_a as_o the_o fruit_n do_v declare_v the_o tree_n to_o have_v sap_n again_o object_n if_o it_o be_v object_v as_o it_o be_v by_o they_o that_o work_n and_o love_n etc._n etc._n be_v to_o faith_n as_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o the_o body_n for_o as_o the_o body_n without_o the_o soul_n be_v dead_a so_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a hence_o they_o gather_v that_o faith_n be_v as_o the_o body_n and_o that_o love_n and_o work_n be_v as_o the_o soul_n therefore_o faith_n justify_v not_o but_o work_n ans._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v dead_a they_o take_v the_o comparison_n amiss_o for_o the_o scope_n of_o it_o be_v this_o as_o a_o soulless_a body_n be_v nothing_o worth_a it_o be_v dead_a and_o no_o man_n regard_v it_o so_o be_v a_o workelesse_a faith_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o work_n be_v as_o the_o soul_n and_o faith_n as_o the_o body_n but_o as_o a_o man_n when_o he_o look_v upon_o a_o carcase_n and_o see_v no_o life_n in_o it_o no_o pulse_n no_o motion_n no_o sense_n such_o a_o body_n be_v nothing_o worth_a so_o when_o we_o see_v a_o faith_n without_o motion_n that_o have_v no_o pulse_n that_o have_v no_o expression_n of_o life_n in_o it_o such_o a_o faith_n be_v of_o no_o worth_n object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n to_o what_o end_n be_v good_a work_v require_v ans._n i_o answer_v there_o be_v end_n enough_o there_o be_v motive_n enough_o not_o be_v not_o love_v a_o ground_n strong_a enough_o to_o bring_v forth_o good_a work_n when_o this_o objection_n be_v make_v to_o paul_n rom._n 6._o if_o grace_n abound_v 2._o why_o may_v we_o not_o sin_v the_o more_o for_o grace_n abound_v as_o sin_n abound_v he_o may_v easy_o have_v answer_v christ._n except_o you_o do_v good_a work_n you_o can_v be_v save_v but_o he_o say_v how_o can_v we_o that_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n live_v any_o long_o therein_o that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v once_o in_o christ_n there_o will_v be_v such_o a_o change_n wrought_v in_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v find_v christ_n kill_v sin_n in_o he_o and_o he_o shall_v be_v raise_v again_o to_o newness_n of_o life_n insomuch_o that_o he_o must_v of_o necessity_n do_v it_o there_o will_v be_v love_n in_o his_o heart_n that_o will_v set_v he_o a-work_o that_o will_v constrain_v he_o therefore_o say_v he_o be_v you_o not_o baptize_v into_o christ_n death_n that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n he_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n as_o christ_n die_v for_o he_o so_o that_o though_o there_o be_v no_o such_o motive_n as_o for_o a_o man_n to_o get_v heaven_n by_o his_o work_n yet_o upon_o the_o take_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o love_n plant_v in_o the_o heart_n there_o be_v a_o change_n wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o aptness_n in_o it_o to_o do_v good_a work_n so_o that_o now_o a_o man_n delight_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n concern_v his_o inward_a man_n he_o desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o be_v employ_v in_o it_o it_o be_v his_o meat_n and_o drink_v to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god._n be_v not_o this_o enough_o to_o move_v we_o again_o work_n though_o good_a work_n be_v not_o require_v for_o justification_n yet_o this_o may_v be_v a_o motive_n god_n reward_v we_o he_o chasten_v and_o afflict_v we_o according_a to_o our_o work_n 1_o pet._n 1.15_o 1.15_o

point_n to_o your_o comfort_n that_o if_o there_o be_v but_o so_o much_o faith_n as_o will_v produce_v this_o work_n of_o take_v christ_n though_o there_o be_v some_o doubt_n mingle_v with_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v proper_o effectual_a faith_n because_o it_o do_v the_o thing_n though_o not_o perfect_o that_o be_v the_o first_o acception_n of_o the_o word_n effectual_a a_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v effectual_a when_o it_o do_v the_o proper_a function_n of_o it_o though_o it_o do_v it_o not_o perfect_o and_o thorough_o yet_o if_o it_o do_v it_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v effectual_a so_o faith_n if_o it_o pitch_v upon_o christ_n though_o not_o so_o perfect_o as_o afterward_o it_o may_v it_o be_v effectual_a second_o empty_a a_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v effectual_a as_o it_o be_v oppose_v to_o that_o which_o be_v vain_a and_o empty_a to_o that_o which_o be_v but_o a_o name_n a_o shadow_n of_o it_o but_o be_v not_o such_o a_o thing_n indeed_o so_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o be_v effectual_a when_o it_o be_v true_a real_a and_o substantial_a you_o know_v there_o be_v empty_a cloud_n simile_n we_o see_v the_o heaven_n many_o time_n full_a of_o cloud_n but_o there_o be_v no_o rain_n follove_n they_o be_v drive_v away_o with_o the_o wind_n they_o be_v empty_a cloud_n they_o be_v not_o cloud_n indeed_o so_o there_o be_v a_o great_a show_n of_o faith_n sometime_o that_o make_v a_o man_n show_v like_o these_o cloud_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v vain_a and_o empty_a no_o rain_n follow_v simile_n a_o counterfeit_a piece_n although_o it_o show_v to_o be_v good_a money_n yet_o when_o we_o find_v it_o counterfeit_n when_o we_o find_v it_o clip_v we_o cast_v it_o away_o so_o true_a faith_n be_v say_v to_o be_v effectual_a when_o it_o be_v oppose_v to_o vain_a faith_n in_o jam._n 2_o the_o late_a end_n of_o the_o chapter_n the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o that_o purpose_n to_o show_v the_o difference_n between_o true_a faith_n 26._o and_o dead_a faith_n which_o be_v but_o the_o name_n of_o faith_n but_o be_v not_o faith_n indeed_o three_o operative_a a_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v effectual_a when_o it_o lie_v not_o idle_a and_o still_o but_o be_v do_v something_o as_o a_o pilot_n in_o a_o ship_n he_o sit_v not_o still_o there_o if_o he_o do_v sit_v still_o and_o do_v nothing_o we_o may_v say_v he_o be_v a_o uneffectual_a pilot_n simile_n he_o be_v as_o good_a not_o be_v there_o so_o when_o faith_n lie_v still_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o be_v not_o stir_v and_o move_v nor_o show_v itself_o in_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o this_o we_o say_v be_v ineffectual_a faith_n whereas_o faith_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o soul_n as_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o the_o body_n which_o be_v never_o there_o in_o vain_a but_o still_o it_o be_v stir_v and_o show_v itself_o by_o motion_n by_o action_n by_o do_v somewhat_o or_o other_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n faith_n be_v say_v to_o be_v effectual_a when_o it_o be_v a_o stir_a faith_n when_o it_o be_v a_o lively_a and_o fruitful_a faith_n that_o be_v do_v somewhat_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n hand_n last_o of_o all_o a_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v effectual_a when_o it_o go_v thorough_a with_o the_o work_n that_o it_o have_v in_o hand_n this_o differ_v from_o that_o which_o i_o name_v first_o therefore_o the_o greek_a word_n that_o be_v render_v effectualness_n signify_v perfectness_n to_o bring_v a_o thing_n to_o a_o end_n so_o that_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o be_v effectual_a that_o go_v thorough_a with_o the_o work_n it_o undertake_v that_o be_v when_o it_o sanctify_v the_o heart_n throughout_o in_o respect_n of_o part_n and_o throughout_o in_o regard_n of_o time_n when_o it_o bring_v a_o man_n to_o the_o end_n of_o his_o salvation_n when_o it_o carry_v a_o man_n through_o all_o impediment_n when_o it_o leap_v over_o all_o difficulty_n so_o that_o a_o grow_a prevail_a overcome_v faith_n that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o effectual_a faith_n such_o a_o faith_n as_o leave_v not_o the_o work_n half_o do_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o leave_v not_o the_o build_n in_o the_o beginning_n in_o the_o rudiment_n but_o set_v it_o up_o and_o put_v the_o roof_n upon_o it_o such_o a_o faith_n which_o though_o it_o may_v sink_v as_o a_o cork_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o it_o rise_v again_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o overcome_v and_o perfect_v the_o work_n of_o our_o salvation_n in_o this_o sense_n faith_n must_v be_v effectual_a and_o this_o differ_v from_o the_o other_o three_o so_o that_o in_o these_o four_o sense_n faith_n be_v say_v to_o be_v effectual_a and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n the_o second_o thing_n which_o we_o undertake_v thing_n be_v to_o show_v you_o wherein_o the_o effectualness_n of_o faith_n consist_v it_o consist_v in_o these_o four_o thing_n that_o which_o we_o say_v before_o to_o you_o when_o we_o show_v you_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o ineffectualnesse_n of_o faith_n will_v make_v good_a way_n to_o this_o the_o first_o thing_n wherein_o the_o effectualness_n of_o it_o be_v see_v be_v in_o be_v well_o build_v that_o be_v when_o the_o preparation_n be_v sound_a and_o full_a that_o make_v way_n for_o it_o the_o second_o be_v when_o the_o understanding_n be_v clear_a and_o a_o man_n believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n upon_o sure_a and_o infallible_a ground_n when_o he_o see_v they_o perspicuous_o and_o distinct_o the_o three_o be_v when_o the_o will_n take_v christ_n and_o take_v he_o out_o of_o love_n not_o out_o of_o fear_n not_o out_o of_o love_n to_o the_o advantage_n only_o by_o he_o not_o out_o of_o mistake_n the_o four_o be_v when_o it_o turn_v not_o only_o the_o will_n but_o all_o the_o affection_n when_o it_o turn_v the_o whole_a man_n when_o it_o shoot_v itself_o into_o life_n and_o practice_n first_o good_a i_o say_v faith_n be_v effectual_a when_o there_o be_v a_o good_a way_n make_v for_o it_o when_o the_o rubbish_n and_o false_a earth_n be_v take_v away_o where_o it_o shall_v be_v build_v that_o be_v when_o the_o humiliation_n be_v sound_a and_o good_a when_o the_o preparation_n be_v perfect_a when_o it_o be_v such_o as_o make_v a_o man_n fit_a for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n for_o i_o find_v that_o phrase_n use_v open_v he_o that_o put_v his_o hand_n to_o the_o blow_n and_o look_v back_o be_v unfit_a for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v there_o be_v certain_a man_n which_o come_v to_o the_o profession_n of_o christianity_n as_o many_o come_v to_o husbandry_n which_o be_v a_o hard_a employment_n some_o there_o be_v which_o do_v this_o and_o go_v back_o again_o why_o because_o they_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v they_o be_v not_o thorough_o prepare_v for_o it_o that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o a_o man_n be_v not_o thorough_o humble_v to_o know_v what_o sin_n be_v and_o what_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v he_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o if_o he_o do_v come_v to_o christ_n if_o he_o do_v begin_v to_o

of_o egypt_n before_o the_o time_n that_o they_o be_v israelite_n indeed_o they_o have_v not_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n because_o they_o will_v have_v be_v ready_a to_o have_v turn_v back_o in_o their_o heart_n into_o egypt_n and_o though_o the_o lord_n lay_v load_v on_o they_o though_o their_o yoke_n be_v hard_a though_o he_o cause_v they_o to_o wander_v up_o and_o down_o
