work_n as_o there_o be_v evil_a worker_n the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v manifest_a uncleanness_n idolatry_n strife_n and_o contention_n gal._n 5.19_o 20._o at_o death_n the_o sin_n of_o the_o godly_a leave_v they_o and_o their_o grace_n only_o follow_v they_o there_o sin_n shall_v be_v cast_v not_o into_o a_o shallow_a river_n where_o they_o may_v appear_v and_o swim_v up_o aloft_o upon_o the_o water_n but_o into_o a_o deep_a sea_n of_o oblivion_n we_o must_v remember_v our_o evil_a work_n and_o god_n will_v forget_v they_o we_o must_v forget_v our_o good_a work_n and_o god_n will_v remember_v they_o 2._o there_o be_v also_o good_a work_n or_o as_o the_o apostle_n phrase_v it_o fruit_n such_o as_o be_v gentleness_n and_o joy_n temperance_n and_o meekness_n gal._n 5.22_o 23._o and_o these_o be_v those_o work_n that_o follow_v those_o that_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n 1._o special_o work_n of_o charity_n as_o they_o say_v of_o oswald_z king_n of_o denmark_n that_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o liberality_n to_o the_o poor_a his_o right_a hand_n though_o he_o be_v dead_a wither_v not_o work_n of_o charity_n be_v in_o scripture_n in_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n call_v good_a work_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d by_o way_n of_o principality_n and_o eminency_n above_o many_o other_o work_n that_o yet_o be_v good_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o influence_n they_o have_v for_o to_o produce_v and_o give_v a_o lustre_n to_o all_o good_a work_n 2._o more_o large_o though_o work_v of_o charity_n be_v good_a work_n and_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n yet_o there_o be_v many_o good_a work_n beside_o work_n of_o charity_n faith_n be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o a_o good_a work_n repentance_n be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o a_o good_a work_n charity_n be_v a_o celestial_a orb_n but_o not_o large_a enough_o for_o all_o the_o star_n of_o good_a work_n to_o shine_v and_o move_v in_o therefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o of_o good_a work_v we_o be_v thereby_o to_o understand_v in_o general_a all_o work_n that_o be_v good_a not_o only_o a_o single_a work_n not_o only_o their_o charity_n but_o their_o faith_n their_o repentance_n their_o holiness_n they_o all_o do_v follow_v they_o quaerie_n 2._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o their_o work_n a._n 1._o here_o be_v note_v propriety_n their_o own_o work_n follow_v they_o not_o the_o work_n of_o other_o man_n which_o criticism_n sugge_v to_o we_o 1._o the_o absurdity_n of_o the_o papist_n who_o maintain_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v so_o righteous_a as_o that_o he_o may_v not_o only_o merit_v heaven_n for_o himself_o but_o for_o other_o also_o it_o be_v a_o arrogant_a say_n of_o a_o romish_a pharisee_n that_o he_o have_v do_v all_o for_o his_o own_o salvation_n many_o year_n ago_o and_o stay_v in_o the_o world_n after_o that_o only_o to_o gather_v treasure_n for_o other_o but_o as_o a_o wicked_a man_n shall_v perish_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o own_o unbelief_n so_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o his_o own_o faith_n not_o the_o prayer_n and_o performance_n not_o the_o duty_n and_o do_n of_o other_o but_o their_o own_z work_v follow_v they_o 2._o the_o formal_a interest_n of_o a_o believer_n in_o his_o work_n they_o be_v his_o work_n not_o because_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n but_o because_o he_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o his_o grace_n sin_n otherwise_o be_v most_o of_o all_o thing_n we_o yet_o in_o a_o favourable_a sense_n as_o nothing_o be_v so_o much_o our_o own_o before_o we_o work_v as_o our_o will_n so_o nothing_o be_v so_o much_o our_o own_o as_o our_o work_n when_o they_o be_v do_v they_o cleave_v to_o we_o whether_o as_o fomentation_n to_o nourish_v we_o or_o as_o corrosive_n to_o gnaw_v upon_o we_o that_o lie_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o work_n but_o we_o they_o be_v and_o cling_v to_o we_o our_o work_n seem_v to_o be_v more_o we_o than_o our_o faith_n be_v we_o our_o work_n be_v we_o as_o we_o have_v do_v they_o our_o faith_n we_o as_o we_o have_v

be_v everlasting_a they_o follow_v we_o note_n 1._o their_o company_n to_o glory_n as_o a_o christian_n follow_v his_o work_n on_o earth_n so_o his_o work_n shall_v follow_v or_o accompany_v he_o to_o heaven_n he_o go_v not_o out_o of_o the_o world_n naked_a and_o void_a of_o grace_n as_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o he_o carry_v the_o garment_n of_o salvation_n the_o extrinsic_a and_o
