may_v say_v thou_o have_v the_o faith_n and_o i_o have_v work_n show_v i_o thy_o faith_n out_o of_o thy_o work_n and_o i_o will_v show_v thou_o my_o faith_n by_o my_o work_n 19_o thou_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v one_o god_n thou_o do_v well_o the_o devil_n also_o believe_v it_o &_o tremble_v 20_o but_o will_v thou_o understand_v o_o thou_o vain_a man_n that_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v without_o work_n be_v dead_a 21_o be_v not_o abraham_n our_o father_n justify_v through_o work_n when_o he_o offer_v isaac_n his_o son_n upon_o the_o altar_n 22_o see_v thou_o not_o that_o the_o

be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n and_o he_o be_v call_v the_o friend_n of_o god_n 24_o you_o see_v then_o how_o that_o of_o work_n a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o not_o of_o faith_n only_o 25_o likewise_o also_o be_v not_o rahab_n the_o harlot_n justify_v through_o work_n when_o she_o have_v receive_v the_o messenger_n and_o send_v they_o out_o another_o way_n 26_o for_o as_o the_o body_n without_o the_o spirit_n be_v dead_a even_o so_o the_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a i_o have_v choose_v this_o portion_n of_o scripture_n to_o interpret_v because_o there_o be_v very_o great_a use_n and_o commodity_n in_o the_o true_a and_o right_a understanding_n thereof_o and_o the_o doctrine_n therein_o contain_v be_v most_o necessary_a for_o all_o christian_n to_o know_v first_o because_o it_o do_v direct_o and_o full_o overthrow_v &_o beat_v down_o all_o carnal_a profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n show_v that_o the_o common_a and_o dead_a faith_n can_v save_v a_o man_n second_o because_o it_o be_v the_o principal_a pillar_n which_o the_o papist_n do_v lean_a unto_o and_o the_o chief_a place_n of_o scripture_n which_o they_o do_v pervert_v and_o abuse_v to_o prove_v and_o establish_v justification_n by_o work_n and_o the_o merit_n of_o man_n and_o to_o overthrow_v the_o free_a justification_n we_o have_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n through_o faith_n the_o hold_n which_o they_o take_v in_o this_o point_n be_v upon_o the_o speech_n and_o phrase_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v use_v as_o when_o he_o say_v abraham_n our_o father_n be_v justify_v through_o work_n also_o rahab_n the_o harlot_n be_v justify_v through_o work_n likewise_o you_o see_v that_o of_o work_n a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o not_o of_o faith_n only_o herein_o the_o two_o apostle_n of_o christ_n saint_n paul_n and_o saint_n james_n do_v seem_v to_o be_v flat_a contrary_n the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o for_o whereas_o saint_n paul_n say_v abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o and_o not_o by_o work_n saint_n james_n say_v he_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n saint_n paul_n say_v and_o proove_v by_o sundry_a and_o invincible_a reason_n that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n saint_n james_n say_v you_o see_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o this_o contrariety_n be_v but_o in_o appearance_n for_o they_o both_o write_v by_o one_o spirit_n which_o be_v always_o like_o himself_o and_o always_o agree_v with_o himself_o the_o whole_a blame_n thereof_o be_v to_o light_v upon_o we_o that_o we_o be_v so_o dim_v sight_v as_o not_o to_o see_v how_o these_o two_o servant_n of_o god_n do_v jump_o and_o agree_v together_o without_o any_o jar_n at_o all_o i_o think_v it_o needful_a for_o this_o cause_n before_o i_o come_v to_o handle_v the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n as_o they_o lie_v in_o order_n first_o to_o take_v away_o this_o show_n of_o discord_n if_o any_o man_n will_v demand_v what_o cause_n there_o be_v which_o make_v they_o to_o appear_v in_o outward_a show_n so_o contrary_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o i_o answer_v that_o although_o there_o be_v no_o contrariety_n in_o the_o matter_n itself_o which_o they_o teach_v yet_o the_o diversity_n of_o the_o scholar_n which_o they_o light_v upon_o &_o the_o contrary_a affection_n of_o those_o who_o they_o instruct_v cause_v they_o to_o use_v a_o diverse_a and_o contrary_a order_n of_o teach_v saint_n paul_n have_v to_o deal_v with_o such_o as_o will_v seek_v to_o be_v justify_v partly_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o partly_o by_o their_o own_o deed_n or_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n use_v this_o order_n first_o show_v that_o we_o be_v lose_v and_o condemn_v in_o ourselves_o then_o next_o justify_v and_o save_v through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n afterward_o that_o we_o be_v sanctify_v in_o he_o and_o must_v show_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o a_o pure_a and_o holy_a life_n saint_n james_n light_v upon_o another_o sort_n of_o man_n which_o confess_v the_o free_a justification_n through_o faith_n in_o christ_n yet_o in_o this_o they_o be_v deceive_v that_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v how_o all_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v be_v sanctify_v how_o all_o those_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n be_v new_a creature_n that_o they_o be_v new_o bear_v and_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n that_o the_o true_a lively_a and_o justify_v faith_n do_v bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n in_o a_o holy_a conversation_n now_o because_o this_o can_v be_v remoove_v or_o separate_v from_o the_o right_n and_o lively_a faith_n saint_n james_n go_v as_o it_o be_v backward_o and_o proove_v that_o where_o this_o latter_a that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n be_v want_v there_o faith_n be_v want_v and_o so_o his_o drift_n be_v to_o show_v that_o all_o ungodly_a and_o carnal_a professor_n of_o christ_n have_v but_o a_o dead_a faith_n which_o in_o no_o respect_n be_v able_a for_o to_o help_v or_o save_v they_o a_o second_o cause_n why_o they_o seem_v so_o much_o to_o differ_v be_v herein_o that_o man_n do_v not_o mark_v well_o how_o they_o handle_v not_o the_o self_n same_o matter_n nor_o have_v not_o the_o same_o drift_n for_o saint_n paul_n labour_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o true_a faith_n do_v join_v we_o to_o christ_n and_o thereby_o save_o us._n saint_n james_n here_o beat_v upon_o this_o point_n that_o the_o dead_a faith_n which_o be_v but_o a_o bare_a image_n of_o the_o right_a faith_n can_v profit_v a_o man_n this_o shall_v appear_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n and_o also_o a_o three_o cause_n be_v that_o they_o do_v not_o take_v this_o word_n justify_v in_o the_o same_o sense_n but_o diverse_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v prove_v afterward_o now_o will_v i_o come_v unto_o the_o text._n what_o avail_v it_o my_o brethren_n though_o a_o man_n say_v he_o have_v faith_n when_o he_o have_v no_o work_n can_v the_o faith_n save_v he_o this_o be_v his_o proposition_n and_o the_o matter_n which_o he_o will_v dispute_v upon_o in_o the_o whole_a text_n follow_v thus_o much_o it_o be_v in_o effect_n that_o it_o do_v not_o avail_v a_o man_n to_o say_v he_o have_v faith_n nor_o it_o do_v not_o profit_v he_o to_o boast_v and_o brag_v and_o to_o make_v profession_n thereof_o when_o he_o have_v no_o good_a work_n the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o it_o can_v save_v he_o mark_v and_o observe_v this_o well_o for_o here_o at_o the_o first_o entrance_n the_o blindness_n of_o the_o papist_n and_o their_o folly_n do_v manifest_o bewray_v itself_o when_o as_o they_o do_v not_o see_v nor_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o purpose_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n to_o dispute_v upon_o this_o point_n whether_o the_o true_a faith_n do_v save_v &_o justify_v or_o not_o but_o to_o show_v that_o such_o as_o have_v not_o good_a work_n have_v not_o the_o true_a faith_n in_o they_o and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o they_o profess_v they_o can_v be_v save_v for_o he_o do_v not_o propound_v his_o matter_n thus_o what_o avail_v it_o though_o a_o man_n have_v faith_n and_o have_v not_o work_n but_o what_o avail_v it_o though_o a_o man_n say_v he_o have_v faith_n and_o have_v not_o work_n whereby_o it_o be_v very_o manifest_a that_o when_o saint_n james_n do_v attibute_v the_o name_n of_o faith_n unto_o this_o dead_a image_n he_o do_v it_o not_o in_o proper_a but_o in_o abusine_n speech_n and_o after_o

body_n or_o cattle_n of_o a_o man_n howsoever_o he_o come_v we_o must_v know_v it_o be_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o heaven_n that_o have_v send_v he_o even_o as_o he_o give_v he_o leave_v to_o deal_v with_o job._n then_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v no_o power_n for_o to_o resist_v he_o withal_o but_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v arm_v with_o that_o power_n but_o only_o by_o faith_n if_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o withstand_v satan_n but_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v most_o wicked_a to_o deny_v and_o through_o faith_n only_a man_n be_v arm_v with_o that_o power_n what_o other_o way_n or_o mean_n can_v there_o be_v to_o resist_v he_o there_o be_v a_o child_n possess_v with_o a_o devil_n the_o father_n bring_v he_o to_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v cast_v he_o out_o but_o they_o can_v not_o jesus_n cast_v he_o out_o then_o the_o disciple_n do_v ask_v he_o why_o they_o can_v not_o cast_v he_o out_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o because_o of_o your_o unbelief_n this_o kind_n say_v he_o go_v not_o out_o but_o by_o prayer_n &_o fast_v math._n 17._o where_o we_o see_v that_o the_o devil_n torment_v the_o body_n be_v to_o be_v cast_v out_o by_o faith_n yea_o by_o a_o strong_a faith_n which_o be_v to_o be_v assist_v with_o fast_v and_o prayer_n but_o what_o if_o the_o devil_n say_v some_o afflict_v the_o body_n or_o destroy_v the_o good_n can_v be_v remoove_v by_o faith_n or_o withstand_v shall_v not_o man_n than_o seek_v to_o remove_v he_o or_o to_o withstand_v he_o some_o other_o way_n as_o we_o be_v teach_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o devil_n possess_v the_o body_n of_o some_o man_n woman_n or_o child_n and_o torment_v the_o same_o prayer_n have_v be_v use_v and_o that_o very_a often_o and_o yet_o no_o remedy_n have_v be_v find_v but_o by_o other_o mean_v he_o have_v be_v expel_v yea_o some_o have_v be_v of_o that_o mind_n that_o god_n have_v give_v satan_n power_n to_o touch_v their_o body_n their_o child_n or_o their_o good_n they_o will_v seek_v no_o further_o but_o to_o god_n say_v that_o as_o he_o have_v give_v he_o power_n so_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o he_o will_v restrain_v he_o and_o thereupon_o they_o will_v rest_v but_o in_o the_o end_n they_o have_v be_v glad_a to_o use_v other_o mean_n god_n have_v appoint_v mean_n and_o they_o tempt_v god_n that_o refuse_v they_o if_o a_o man_n be_v fall_v into_o a_o ditch_n and_o lie_v still_o pray_v god_n help_v i_o lord_n help_v i_o and_o do_v not_o stir_v to_o climb_v out_o he_o may_v he_o long_o enough_o if_o there_o be_v mean_n by_o which_o the_o devil_n be_v drive_v out_o why_o shall_v not_o man_n use_v they_o see_v we_o may_v suppose_v that_o god_n have_v appoint_v those_o mean_n to_o answer_v unto_o these_o thing_n we_o may_v first_o consider_v that_o the_o lord_n god_n for_o the_o trial_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o patience_n do_v give_v leave_n to_o satan_n to_o afflict_v his_o child_n this_o be_v for_o their_o good_a what_o shall_v i_o use_v any_o proof_n for_o this_o but_o the_o exemple_n of_o sob_n he_o be_v through_o try_v now_o see_v it_o be_v the_o

in_o this_o thing_n it_o do_v not_o repel_v satan_n but_o he_o have_v power_n give_v he_o to_o touch_v his_o good_n child_n and_o body_n and_o so_o we_o may_v hold_v it_o undoubted_o that_o if_o god_n will_v give_v power_n or_o leave_v unto_o satan_n to_o touch_v the_o body_n the_o child_n or_o the_o good_n of_o any_o faithful_a man_n for_o such_o a_o purpose_n as_o this_o be_v in_o job_n faith_n
