faith_n in_o the_o work_n of_o justification_n but_o only_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v dead_a note_n note_n and_o without_o work_n so_o both_o opinion_n imply_v a_o necessity_n of_o work_n the_o one_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o justification_n and_o the_o other_o as_o a_o effect_n in_o they_o justify_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v large_a in_o number_v authority_n and_o in_o report_v such_o
