charity_n be_v better_a than_o faith_n yet_o for_o this_o particular_a use_n of_o justification_n faith_n may_v be_v better_a than_o charity_n upon_o this_o come_v in_o salmeron_n very_o much_o

john_n a_o better_a scribe_n than_o peter_n therefore_o john_n write_v better_a so_o faith_n be_v a_o better_a virtue_n than_o charity_n therefore_o it_o justify_v better_a it_o be_v a_o proper_a argument_n say_v salmeron_n for_o justify_v be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o virtue_n but_o here_o heshusin_n very_o well_o unite_v the_o knot_n and_o state_n the_o matter_n beyond_o all_o further_a controversy_n reply_v again_o upon_o salmeron_n singular_o well_o that_o he_o be_v deceive_v to_o say_v justification_n be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o virtue_n true_o indeed_o if_o justification_n be_v by_o any_o merit_n of_o we_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v justify_v by_o any_o work_n of_o the_o law_n than_o charity_n may_v challenge_v the_o first_o place_n because_o charity_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n but_o because_o no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o keep_v the_o law_n therefore_o in_o very_a truth_n no_o virtue_n justify_v neither_o a_o small_a virtue_n nor_o a_o great_a

of_o jesus_n christ_n nor_o do_v faith_n justify_v by_o any_o worth_n or_o efficacy_n of_o its_o own_o but_o mere_o as_o a_o instrument_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v for_o we_o to_o lay_v hold_n of_o his_o promise_n in_o christ_n jesus_n by_o as_o it_o be_v the_o hand_n stretch_v out_o whereby_o we_o draw_v to_o we_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o

hold_n but_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n cast_v the_o cord_n to_o we_o by_o which_o we_o be_v save_v but_o unless_o we_o take_v hold_v by_o this_o hand_n we_o sink_v notwithstanding_o so_o faith_n be_v the_o hand_n whereby_o we_o apprehend_v the_o mean_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o our_o justify_n only_o and_o not_o charity_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n charity_n though_o it_o be_v not_o the_o hand_n may_v be_v as_o the_o neck_n or_o a_o noble_a member_n that_o join_v the_o whole_a body_n together_o which_o though_o it_o can_v lay_v hold_n as_o the_o hand_n do_v yet_o must_v of_o necessity_n partake_v of_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n well_o then_o in_o this_o respect_n grant_v charity_n inferior_a to_o faith_n because_o faith_n rather_o justify_v but_o then_o there_o follow_v other_o respect_n again_o that_o set_v faith_n as_o much_o behind_o charity_n in_o which_o regard_n the_o apostle_n prefer_v charity_n as_o

and_o be_v far_o more_o perfect_a and_o more_o delightful_a in_o this_o point_n charity_n pass_v all_o other_o virtue_n that_o can_v be_v name_v none_o that_o can_v abide_v for_o evermore_o as_o charity_n do_v &_o therefore_o charity_n be_v doubtless_o the_o great_a faith_n and_o hope_n how_o great_a how_o comfortable_a soever_o here_o they_o have_v their_o period_n beyond_o this_o life_n they_o can_v go_v for_o they_o both_o imply_v absence_n of_o that_o thing_n they_o fix_v upon_o when_o therefore_o we_o shall_v come_v in_o presence_n of_o what_o we_o believe_v and_o hope_v for_o
