3.28_o rom._n 3.28_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n whilst_o b._n be_v inquire_v and_o search_v for_o the_o original_n or_o beginning_n of_o this_o faith_n

see_v that_o it_o be_v most_o unpossible_a for_o any_o one_o to_o obtain_v this_o confidence_n of_o grace_n except_o he_o first_o repent_v himself_o of_o his_o former_a life_n serious_o and_o from_o the_o bottom_n of_o his_o heart_n for_o even_o as_o the_o faith_n of_o knowledge_n namely_o to_o believe_v without_o all_o doubt_n that_o god_n be_v and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o rewarder_n of_o all_o they_o that_o do_v seek_v he_o in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o contrary_o one_o that_o take_v vengeance_n on_o all_o those_o which_o turn_v away_o from_o he_o for_o all_o their_o sin_n and_o wicked_a deed_n that_o ever_o they_o commit_v even_o as_o i_o say_v this_o faith_n must_v of_o necessity_n go_v before_o true_a repentance_n towards_o god_n so_o our_o repentance_n viz._n that_o we_o convert_n from_o our_o own_o way_n unto_o god_n shall_v return_v into_o the_o right_a way_n must_v needs_o go_v before_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o

i_o can_v easy_o imagine_v why_o it_o be_v namely_o because_o according_a to_o fleshly_a wisdom_n he_o perhaps_o suppose_v that_o repentance_n be_v a_o companion_n of_o none_o but_o fool_n therefore_o he_o have_v utter_o reject_v it_o as_o not_o well_o beseem_v the_o dignity_n or_o credit_n of_o one_o that_o be_v wise_a o_o vile_a and_o ungracious_a fellow_n sure_o i_o can_v scarce_o hold_v in_o

first_o therefore_o i_o will_v inform_v this_o erroneous_a doctor_n that_o true_a repentance_n towards_o god_n must_v of_o necessity_n go_v before_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n then_o what_o this_o true_a repentance_n towards_o god_n be_v shall_v likewise_o in_o order_n be_v declare_v but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o these_o thing_n more_o clear_o may_v be_v understand_v it_o behoove_v we_o
