deed_n say_v bless_a be_v they_o who_o unrighteousness_n be_v forgive_v and_o who_o sin_n be_v cover_v bless_a be_v the_o man_n to_o who_o the_o lord_n impute_v no_o sin_n and_o a_o little_a after_o we_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o abraham_n for_o righteousness_n and_o a_o little_a after_o for_o the_o promise_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o heir_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o give_v to_o abraham_n or_o to_o his_o seed_n through_o the_o law_n but_o through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n for_o if_o they_o which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n be_v heir_n they_o be_v faith_n but_o vain_a and_o the_o promise_n of_o no_o effect_n and_o again_o therefore_o by_o faith_n be_v the_o inheritance_n faith_n give_v that_o it_o may_v come_v of_o grace_n and_o the_o promise_n may_v be_v sure_a to_o all_o the_o seed_n not_o to_o they_o only_o which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o also_o to_o they_o which_o be_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n which_o be_v the_o father_n of_o we_o all_o and_o again_o then_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n iustefi_v we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_o through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o we_o have_v access_n through_o faith_n unto_o this_o grace_n wherein_o we_o stand_v and_o rejoice_v in_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god._n and_o again_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o the_o gentile_n which_o follow_v not_o righteousness_n have_v overtake_v righteousness_n i_o mean_v the_o righteousness_n which_o come_v by_o faith_n but_o israel_n which_o follow_v the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n can_v not_o attain_v the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n wherefore_o because_o they_o seek_v it_o not_o by_o faith_n but_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n law_n and_o again_o for_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n and_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n have_v not_o be_v obedient_a unto_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n for_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n to_o justify_v all_o that_o believe_v for_o moses_n describe_v the_o righteousness_n which_o come_v of_o the_o law_n in_o these_o word_n that_o the_o man_n which_o do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v thereby_o but_o the_o righteousness_n which_o come_v of_o faith_n speak_v on_o this_o wise_a say_v not_o in_o thy_o heart_n who_o shall_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n that_o be_v even_o to_o fetch_v christ_n down_o from_o above_o or_o who_o shall_v descend_v into_o the_o deep_a that_o be_v even_o to_o bring_v chryst_n from_o death_n but_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n the_o word_n be_v nigh_o thou_o even_o in_o thy_o mouth_n and_o in_o thy_o heart_n this_o be_v that_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o we_o preach_v for_o if_o thou_o shall_v confess_v with_o thy_o mouth_n the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o shall_v believe_v in_o thy_o heart_n that_o god_n raise_v he_o up_o from_o the_o dead_a thou_o save_v shall_v besave_v for_o the_o belief_n of_o thy_o heart_n justify_v &_o to_o confess_v with_o the_o mouth_n save_v a_o man._n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v iustiun_v who_o soever_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a and_o again_o even_o so_o at_o this_o time_n be_v there_o a_o remnant_n leave_v through_o 11._o the_o election_n of_o grace_n if_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n then_o be_v it_o not_o of_o work_n or_o else_o be_v grace_n no_o more_o grace_n but_o if_o it_o be_v of_o work_v then_o be_v it_o no_o more_o grace_n or_o else_o be_v work_n no_o long_o work_v and_o in_o another_o place_n we_o which_o be_v jew_n by_o nature_n 2._o and_o not_o sinner_n of_o the_o gentile_n know_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n chryst_n even_o we_o i_o say_v have_v believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n chryst_n and_o not_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n because_o that_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v 3._o again_o for_o the_o scripture_n see_v afore_o hand_n that_o god_o will_v justify_v the_o gentile_n through_o faith_n and_o therefore_o preach_v before_o hand_n the_o gospel_n unto_o abraham_n say_v in_o thou_o shall_v all_o the_o gentile_n be_v bless_v so_o then_o they_o which_o be_v of_o faith_n be_v bless_v with_o faithful_a abraham_n for_o as_o many_o as_o be_v under_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n be_v under_o the_o curse_n sore_o it_o be_v write_v curse_a be_v every_o man_n that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o fulfil_v they_o and_o that_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n it_o be_v evident_a for_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n and_o the_o law_n be_v 2_o not_o of_o faith_n but_o the_o man_n that_o shall_v fulfil_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v in_o they_o now_o chryst_n have_v redeem_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n when_o he_o be_v make_v accurse_v for_o we_o for_o it_o be_v write_v curse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o hang_v on_o tree_n that_o the_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n may_v come_v on_o the_o gentile_n through_o chryst_n jesus_n and_o that_o we_o may_v receive_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n through_o faith_n and_o a_o little_a after_o but_o the_o scripture_n have_v conclude_v 3_o all_o thing_n under_o sin_n that_o the_o promise_n by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n chryst_n shall_v be_v geeven_v to_o they_o that_o believe_v but_o before_o faith_n come_v we_o be_v shut_v up_o under_o the_o law_n unto_o the_o faith_n which_o shall_v afterward_o be_v revel_v wherefore_o the_o law_n be_v our_o schoolmaster_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o chryst_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v righteous_a by_o faith_n but_o after_o that_o faith_n be_v come_v now_o be_v we_o no_o long_o under_o the_o schoolmaster_n for_o we_o be_v all_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o chryst_n jesus_n 5._o and_o again_o you_o be_v all_o go_v quite_o from_o chryst_n as_o many_o as_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n and_o be_v fall_v from_o grace_n we_o wait_v for_o by_o the_o spirit_n thoroughe_o faith_n the_o hope_n of_o righteousness_n again_o for_o by_o grace_n be_v we_o you_o save_v through_o faith_n and_o not_o of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_o and_o not_o of_o work_v lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v he_o again_o who_o save_v we_o and_o call_v we_o with_o a_o holy_a call_n not_o accord_v to_o our_o deed_n but_o accord_v to_o his_o own_o purpose_n and_o grace_n which_o grace_n be_v give_v to_o we_o through_o chryst_n jesus_n before_o the_o world_n be_v and_o in_o a_o other_o place_n that_o we_o be_v 3._o justify_v by_o grace_n shall_v be_v make_v heir_n accord_v

of_o the_o whole_a scripture_n together_o may_v be_v acknowledge_v for_o we_o may_v not_o wrest_v such_o sense_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n by_o urge_v the_o outward_a bark_n of_o some_o

that_o man_n reward_n be_v accord_v to_o his_o work_n it_o appear_v that_o in_o work_n there_o be_v merit_n and_o that_o to_o man_n justification_n work_v be_v require_v here_o i_o may_v brief_o

wherefore_o for_o this_o cause_n namely_o that_o the_o choose_v may_v be_v declare_v to_o be_v righteous_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o the_o triumph_n of_o god_n grace_n or_o

the_o performance_n of_o his_o promise_n in_o chryst_n make_v apparent_a so_o that_o for_o this_o cause_n name_o to_o justify_v god_n promise_n concern_v this_o free_a and_o merciful_a deliverance_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o man_n to_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n that_o as_o all_o man_n hear_v the_o promise_n so_o all_o may_v witness_v the_o performance_n thereof_o
