the_o apostle_n refute_v there_o be_v two_o very_a wicked_a and_o blasphemous_a error_n of_o certain_a fellow_n notable_o refute_v the_o one_o of_o the_o twain_o be_v the_o error_n of_o they_o which_o say_v that_o our_o father_n be_v justify_v not_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n but_o by_o the_o law_n and_o their_o own_o merit_n affirm_v that_o christ_n suffer_v not_o for_o the_o father_n but_o for_o they_o alone_o that_o live_v when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o for_o they_o that_o follow_v after_o his_o death_n the_o other_o error_n be_v they_o which_o say_v that_o christ_n offer_v up_o his_o body_n for_o the_o father_n for_o original_a sin_n only_o not_o for_o we_o and_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o must_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o own_o sin_n but_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v in_o this_o place_n condemn_v both_o these_o opinion_n and_o the_o holy_a evangelist_n john_n agree_v with_o paul_n do_v say_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_o do_v

christ_n his_o redemption_n do_v extend_v itself_o to_o all_o the_o faithful_a of_o both_o the_o testament_n the_o apostle_n paul_n proceed_v &_o upon_o that_o which_o he_o have_v say_v he_o infer_v where_o be_v the_o boast_n it_o be_v exclude_v by_o what_o law_n of_o work_v nay_o but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n he_o gather_v by_o the_o evangelical_a doctrine_n hitherto_o teach_v that_o all_o the_o boast_n of_o every_o man_n own_o righteousness_n and_o all_o the_o brag_a of_o every_o one_o merit_n be_v utter_o take_v away_o altogether_o exempt_v and_o vanish_v not_o by_o the_o law_n of_o

that_o be_v by_o the_o doctrine_n concern_v faith_n which_o do_v empty_a and_o leave_v in_o we_o nothing_o but_o a_o humble_a confession_n and_o acknowledge_v of_o our_o own_o lack_n of_o merit_n attribute_v all_o our_o help_n to_o grace_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o at_o the_o last_o gather_v the_o chief_a proposition_n he_o say_v we_o do_v therefore_o hold_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v without_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n and_o breviary_n of_o the_o whole_a gospel_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v to_o say_v absolve_v from_o sin_n from_o the_o

be_v ground_v and_o uphold_v this_o proposition_n be_v once_o put_v forth_o he_o do_v present_o after_o confirm_v with_o argument_n show_v withal_o
jesus_n christ_n therefore_o repentance_n and_o faith_n seem_v to_o be_v diverse_a not_o that_o true_a repentance_n can_v be_v without_o faith_n but_o because_o they_o must_v be_v distinguish_v &_o not_o confound_v we_o do_v all_o know_v that_o true_a faith_n be_v not_o without_o work_n as_o that_o which_o of_o necessity_n show_v forth_o good_a work_v and_o yet_o we_o make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o faith_n and_o work_v so_o yet_o that_o we_o do_v not_o separate_v they_o or_o rend_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o in_o like_a manner_n we_o acknowledge_v that_o true_a faith_n and_o true_a repentance_n be_v undivide_o knit_v together_o and_o close_o fasten_v the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o i_o will_v not_o stand_v in_o argument_n whether_o faith_n be_v a_o part_n of_o

logic_n for_o we_o learn_v not_o that_o of_o the_o lord_n apostle_n i_o admonish_v you_o before_o in_o a_o sermon_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o thing_n i_o do_v here_o repeat_v again_o that_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o sin_n do_v not_o of_o itself_o obtain_v grace_n or_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n even_o as_o the_o bare_a acknowledge_v of_o a_o disease_n be_v not_o the_o remedy_n for_o the_o same_o for_o even_o damn_v man_n also_o do_v acknowledge_v their_o sin_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o therefore_o heal_v the_o acknowledge_v of_o sin_n be_v a_o certain_a preparative_n unto_o faith_n as_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o a_o disease_n do_v minister_v occasion_n to_o think_v upon_o a_o remedy_n to_o this_o at_o this_o present_a we_o add_v that_o not_o the_o very_a fear_n of_o god_n how_o sincere_a soever_o it_o be_v not_o the_o very_a sorrow_n conceive_v for_o our_o sin_n how_o great_a soever_o it_o be_v nor_o the_o very_a humiliation_n how_o submiss_a soever_o it_o be_v do_v of_o themselves_o

we_o to_o christ_n himself_o be_v incarnate_a and_o crucify_a for_o we_o and_o our_o redemption_n and_o lay_v we_o upon_o christ_n alone_o by_o he_o to_o be_v quicken_v and_o pure_o cleanse_v for_o

from_o the_o bottom_n of_o his_o heart_n he_o do_v fear_n and_o be_v sorry_a for_o his_o sin_n commit_v and_o not_o for_o that_o alone_a but_o because_o he_o find_v himself_o to_o be_v corrupt_v
