be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o trust_v to_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n 8._o he_o add_v further_a this_o be_v the_o true_a faith_n whereby_o the_o just_a man_n live_v but_o that_o which_o

dead_a without_o work_n but_o the_o 26._o rhemists_n 15._o cardinal_n bellarmine_n 2._o coster_n the_o jesuite_n and_o other_o do_v answer_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o compare_v a_o dead_a

know_v that_o although_o the_o apostle_n compare_v a_o dead_a faith_n not_o to_o a_o dead_a man_n but_o to_o a_o dead_a body_n yet_o he_o compare_v it_o to_o the_o dead_a body_n of_o a_o man_n which_o

that_o according_a to_o their_o doctrine_n this_o make_v no_o essential_a but_o a_o mere_a accidental_a difference_n see_v they_o teach_v that_o the_o same_o assent_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o thing_n reveal_v be_v in_o some_o with_o charity_n and_o in_o other_o without_o charity_n it_o evident_o appear_v that_o according_a to_o their_o doctrine_n charity_n be_v not_o a_o proper_a immediate_a

who_o want_v charity_n may_v have_v the_o same_o faith_n in_o substance_n that_o he_o have_v who_o be_v endue_v with_o charity_n bellarmine_n go_v about_o to_o prove_v that_o true_a faith_n mean_v
