my_o dearebeloved_n brother_n i_o answer_v thou_o that_o thy_o assurance_n consist_v in_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n wherewith_o as_o s._n peter_n say_v god_n cleanse_v man_n heart_n 5._o and_o this_o faith_n be_v ground_v in_o the_o believe_v of_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o believe_v of_o the_o glad_a tiding_n which_o have_v be_v publish_v on_o god_n behalf_n through_o

our_o sin_n in_o he_o and_o whosoever_o receive_v this_o good_a tiding_n and_o believe_v it_o steadfast_o have_v the_o true_a faith_n and_o do_v enjoy_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o be_v also_o reconcile_v unto_o god_n and_o of_o the_o child_n of_o wrath_n be_v become_v the_o child_n of_o grace_n and_o recover_v the_o image_n of_o god_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o be_v make_v the_o temple_n of_o 3._o god_n who_o marry_v man_n soul_n to_o his_o only_a son_n by_o the_o mean_a of_o this_o faith_n which_o faith_n be_v a_o work_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v oftentimes_o and_o god_n give_v it_o unto_o those_o who_o he_o call_v to_o he_o

and_o therefore_o after_o that_o s._n paul_n have_v say_v that_o as_o touch_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n he_o have_v live_v 3._o unblameable_a he_o add_v and_o yet_o whatsoever_o i_o have_v gain_v by_o it_o i_o have_v account_v it_o in_o all_o respect_n to_o be_v but_o loss_n for_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n and_o special_o i_o esteem_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v loss_n for_o the_o

have_v engrave_v in_o their_o heart_n pray_v god_n to_o make_v they_o to_o taste_v it_o perfect_o loe_o how_o s._n paul_n show_v plain_o that_o whosoever_o know_v christ_n aright_o esteem_v all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v hurtful_a forsomuch_o as_o they_o make_v we_o to_o swerve_v from_o our_o trust_n in_o jesus_n christ_n to_o who_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o impute_v his_o

gain_v christ_n and_o be_v find_v incorporate_v in_o he_o declare_v thereby_o that_o whosoever_o trust_v in_o his_o own_o work_n and_o pretend_v to_o justify_v himself_o by_o they_o get_v not_o jesus_n christ_n neither_o be_v ingraft_v into_o he_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o whole_a mystery_n of_o our_o faith_n consist_v in_o the_o truth_n hereof_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v what_o he_o mean_v to_o say_v he_o add_v and_o repeat_v oftentimes_o that_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o all_o the_o outward_a justification_n and_o all_o the_o righteousness_n that_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o he_o will_v clothe_v himself_o with_o the_o righteousness_n which_o god_n give_v by_o faith_n to_o all_o they_o that_o believe_v that_o all_o our_o sin_n be_v full_o chastise_v and_o punish_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v 18._o be_v make_v our_o wisdom_n righteousness_n holiness_n

the_o holy_a scripture_n there_o be_v some_o text_n to_o be_v find_v which_o be_v misunderstand_v seem_v to_o gainsay_v this_o holy_a doctrine_n of_o s._n paul_n and_o to_o attribute_v justification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n unto_o work_n and_o to_o charity_n but_o those_o authority_n have_v already_o be_v well_o expound_v by_o some_o who_o have_v show_v plain_o that_o such_o as_o have_v understand_v they_o in_o the_o sense_n aforesaid_a understand_v they_o not_o aright_o wherefore_o my_o dearebeloved_n brethren_n let_v we_o not_o follow_v the_o fond_a opinion_n of_o the_o bewitched_a
