and_o hereafter_o more_o abundant_o their_o full_a joy_n and_o felicity_n arise_v because_o while_o they_o live_v they_o be_v bless_v of_o god_n and_o when_o they_o die_v their_o work_n follow_v they_o and_o yet_o again_o you_o say_v 208._o i_o will_v not_o dispute_v whether_o true_o it_o may_v not_o be_v say_v that_o penitent_a both_o weep_n and_o fast_v be_v mean_n to_o blot_n out_o sin_n mean_n whereby_o through_o god_n unspeakable_a and_o undeserued_a mercy_n we_o obtain_v and_o procure_v to_o ourselves_o pardon_v which_o attaynement_n unto_o any_o gracious_a benefit_n by_o he_o bestow_v the_o phrase_n of_o antiquity_n use_v to_o express_v by_o the_o name_n of_o merit_n here_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v resolve_v how_o these_o your_o assertion_n can_v stand_v with_o the_o doctrine_n and_o belief_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n fayth_n only_o justifi_v to_o which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n accord_v say_v 22_o if_o there_o have_v be_v a_o law_n that_o can_v have_v give_v life_n sure_o righteousness_n have_v be_v by_o the_o law_n but_o the_o scripture_n have_v conclude_v all_o under_o sin_n that_o the_o promise_n by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v give_v to_o they_o that_o believe_v and_o again_o 6._o david_n declare_v the_o blessedness_n of_o the_o man_n unto_o who_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n for_o if_o from_o sound_n and_o sincere_a virtue_n as_o you_o say_v full_a joy_n and_o felicity_n arise_v and_o that_o we_o all_o of_o necessity_n stand_v bind_v unto_o all_o part_n of_o moral_a duty_n in_o regard_n of_o life_n to_o come_v and_o god_n require_v more_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n unto_o happiness_n than_o such_o a_o naked_a belief_n as_o christ_n call_v the_o work_n of_o god_n alas_o what_o shall_v we_o poor_a finful_a wretch_n do_v who_o can_v have_v no_o confidence_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v far_o from_o those_o sound_n and_o sincere_a virtue_n and_o from_o many_o that_o we_o say_v not_o all_o part_n of_o moral_a duty_n in_o such_o measure_n as_o the_o holy_a just_a &_o good_a law_n of_o god_n do_v require_v they_o yea_o our_o very_a righteous_a work_n we_o find_v to_o be_v stain_v like_o a_o filthy_a cloth_n when_o we_o compare_v they_o unto_o that_o absolute_a righteousness_n which_o be_v indeed_o pure_a &_o unspotted_a before_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o claim_v nothing_o by_o any_o duty_n we_o do_v or_o can_v do_v or_o any_o virtue_n which_o we_o find_v in_o ourselves_o but_o only_o by_o that_o naked_a faith_n which_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o we_o and_o make_v we_o believe_v in_o he_o who_o he_o have_v send_v and_o by_o his_o stripe_n only_o we_o hope_v to_o be_v heal_v tell_v we_o therefore_o by_o sound_n and_o plain_a demonstration_n what_o we_o may_v trust_v to_o whether_o the_o english_a belief_n be_v imperfect_a without_o some_o necessary_a additament_n whether_o you_o think_v that_o not_o faith_n alone_o but_o faith_n hope_v and_o love_n be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o our_o righteousness_n whether_o a_o man_n that_o have_v faith_n can_v also_o do_v all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o so_o make_v up_o that_o which_o be_v want_v in_o his_o naked_a faith_n or_o that_o if_o he_o can_v but_o fall_v into_o sin_n seven_o time_n yea_o sometime_o into_o great_a sin_n whether_o his_o faith_n may_v not_o save_v he_o last_o whether_o there_o be_v not_o other_o sufficient_a cause_n to_o induce_v a_o christian_n to_o godliness_n &_o honesty_n of_o life_n such_o as_o be_v the_o 16._o glory_n of_o

which_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o us._n and_o last_o show_v we_o that_o phrase_n of_o antiquity_n whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n among_o the_o sound_a christian_n or_o in_o what_o time_n immediate_o follow_v or_o do_v you_o not_o close_o make_v the_o popish_a doctrine_n of_o merit_n by_o work_n at_o the_o least_o to_o be_v tolerable_a to_o the_o disgrace_n of_o our_o english_a creed_n the_o church_n of_o england_n profess_v work_n that_o 13._o good_a work_n the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n and_o follow_v the_o justify_v can_v abide_v the_o severity_n of_o god_n judgement_n and_o that_o the_o work_n which_o be_v do_v before_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o only_o not_o acceptable_a to_o god_n but_o also_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n you_o say_v 63._o the_o most_o certain_a token_n of_o evident_a goodness_n be_v if_o the_o general_a persuasion_n of_o all_o man_n do_v so_o account_v it_o and_o again_o 68_o only_a man_n observation_n of_o the_o law_n of_o his_o nature_n be_v righteousness_n only_a man_n transgression_n sin_n 122._o god_n very_a commandment_n in_o some_o kind_n as_o namely_o his_o precept_n comprehend_v in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n may_v otherwise_o be_v know_v then_o only_o by_o scripture_n and_o that_o to_o do_v they_o howsoever_o we_o know_v they_o must_v needs_o be_v acceptable_a in_o his_o sight_n here_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v instruct_v how_o the_o goodness_n of_o these_o action_n do_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v either_o simple_o in_o themselves_o as_o nature_n only_o declare_v and_o teach_v or_o as_o man_n follow_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n judge_v of_o they_o and_o so_o do_v they_o if_o you_o answer_v only_o as_o nature_n teach_v without_o regard_n of_o man_n do_v according_a to_o nature_n then_o can_v we_o not_o understande_v your_o discourse_n which_o seem_v to_o we_o to_o teach_v that_o by_o do_v such_o operation_n of_o goodness_n as_o nature_n teach_v though_o he_o have_v no_o further_o teachinge_a it_o be_v righteousness_n and_o please_v god_n if_o you_o mean_v this_o second_o than_o i_o pray_v you_o in_o what_o sense_n can_v you_o call_v that_o righteousness_n in_o man_n which_o our_o church_n call_v sin_n and_o do_v you_o not_o establish_v the_o romish_a doctrine_n of_o pura_fw-la naturalia_fw-la and_o work_n of_o congruity_n and_o if_o that_o be_v true_a which_o you_o say_v that_o man_n do_v such_o work_n be_v acceptable_a in_o god_n sight_n do_v you_o not_o make_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o hold_v a_o error_n when_o they_o say_v they_o be_v not_o acceptable_a to_o god_n the_o church_n of_o england_n profess_v supererogation_n that_o 14._o work_v of_o supererogation_n can_v be_v teach_v without_o arrogancy_n and_o wickedness_n and_o you_o say_v 122._o god_n approve_v much_o more_o than_o he_o command_v open_v unto_o we_o then_o that_o see_v you_o seem_v to_o teach_v that_o the_o order_n and_o course_n of_o all_o thing_n supernatural_a natural_a sensible_a and_o reasonable_a be_v a_o divine_a law_n and_o so_o by_o it_o he_o command_v accord_v to_o every_o kind_n and_o that_o in_o the_o former_a article_n you_o appear_v to_o we_o to_o scatter_v the_o profane_a grain_n of_o popery_n whether_o we_o may_v not_o justly_o judge_v that_o in_o thus_o speak_v you_o sow_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o lead_v man_n to_o those_o arrogant_a work_n of_o supererogation_n if_o not_o show_v your_o own_o meaning_n and_o how_o you_o esteem_v of_o this_o article_n of_o our_o belief_n the_o church_n of_o england_n hold_v sin_n that_o 15._o christ_n only_o be_v the_o immaculate_a lamb_n be_v without_o sin_n and_o that_o we_o which_o be_v baptize_v and_o regenerate_v in_o he_o do_v all_o offend_v in_o many_o thing_n you_o say_v 102._o although_o we_o can_v be_v free_a from_o all_o sin_n collectivelie_a in_o such_o sort_n that_o no_o part_n thereof_o be_v find_v inherent_a in_o we_o yet_o distributivelie_a at_o the_o least_o all_o great_a and_o grievous_a actual_a offence_n as_o they_o offer_v themselves_o one_o by_o one_o both_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v by_o all_o mean_v avoid_v so_o that_o in_o this_o sense_n to_o be_v preserve_v from_o all_o sin_n be_v not_o impossible_a here_o we_o demand_v to_o be_v inform_v that_o if_o all_o offend_v in_o many_o thing_n and_o to_o say_v otherwise_o be_v a_o lie_n as_o our_o english_a creed_n affirm_v how_o your_o say_n can_v be_v true_a that_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o avoid_v all_o great_a and_o grievous_a sin_n and_o what_o many_o thing_n they_o be_v whereof_o the_o scripture_n speak_v whether_o it_o mean_v not_o actual_a offence_n great_a and_o grievous_a but_o that_o some_o may_v be_v except_v in_o regard_n of_o great_a sin_n or_o whether_o you_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o all_o christian_n to_o be_v preserve_v from_o all_o great_a sin_n and_o if_o so_o why_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v as_o possible_a from_o all_o small_a
