our_o sin_n and_o thus_o much_o as_o touch_v the_o definition_n of_o the_o word_n and_o yet_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o it_o be_v the_o proper_a office_n of_o god_n to_o justify_v us._n for_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n in_o reconcilng_v the_o world_n unto_o himselfe●_n and_o beside_o he_o be_v ou●_n righteousness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o allow_v and_o like_v of_o we_o why_o then_o be_v it_o say_v that_o faith_n justifi_v forsooth_o even_o this_o way_n for_o if_o we_o do_v look_v unto_o the_o principal_a cause_n and_o seek_v out_o who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o our_o salvation_n we_o will_v still_o say_v that_o god_n of_o his_o mere_a goodness_n justifi_v we_o because_o he_o have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o impute_v not_o our_o sin_n but_o pardon_v us._n now_o it_o be_v jesus_n christ_n also_o that_o for_o his_o part_n justifi_v we_o because_o he_o be_v the_o very_a true_a matter_n of_o our_o justification_n where_o then_o must_v we_o seek_v after_o it_o in_o the_o wash_n of_o his_o blood_n which_o he_o shed_v for_o we_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v for_o the_o recompense_n of_o our_o sin_n in_o that_o he_o render_v full_a obedience_n in_o such_o sort_n 17._o joh._n 17._o as_o that_o all_o our_o offence_n be_v bury_v and_o blot_v out_o because_o he_o be_v sancty_v for_o we_o as_o in_o the_o seventeenth_o of_o saint_n john_n it_o be_v say_v thus_o than_o we_o see_v after_o what_o manner_n and_o degree_n jesus_n christ_n justifi_v us._n now_o in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o faith_n justifi_v we_o be_v not_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o power_n and_o venue_n that_o be_v in_o it_o or_o for_o any_o worthiness_n that_o it_o have_v and_o herein_o it_o be_v that_o the_o papist_n be_v de●●●ued_v for_o they_o make_v a_o comparison_n between_o faith_n and_o work_v and_o say_v how_o be_v it_o that_o faith_n justifi_v more_o than_o love_n for_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o love_n be_v great_a than_o faith_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o mistake_v this_o place_n but_o admit_v that_o love_n be_v more_o worthy_a than_o faith_n for_o we_o do_v not_o now_o speak_v about_o such_o trifle_a toy_n as_o to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v the_o great_a king_n in_o the_o world_n that_o can_v may_v nure_v and_o dress_v the_o ground_n as_o well_o as_o any_o husband_n man_n or_o vine-dresser_n and_o even_o so_o fare_v it_o with_o faith_n for_o it_o justifi_v we_o not_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v for_o any_o excellency_n that_o be_v in_o itself_o but_o because_o it_o borrow_v that_o of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v want_v in_o us._n and_o therefore_o be_v it_o that_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n overthrow_v and_o make_v void_a all_o the_o righteousness_n of_o work_n and_o whatsoever_o worldly_a glory_n else_o and_o therefore_o the_o papist_n be_v herein_o too_o too_o blockish_a and_o we_o for_o our_o part_n be_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o to_o rest_v upon_o this_o point_n which_o we_o have_v already_o speak_v of_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o way_n to_o make_v we_o to_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n be_v to_o have_v we_o lay_v open_a a_o ready_a way_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o thereby_o he_o may_v apply_v his_o righteousness_n unto_o ourselves_o here_o we_o see_v then_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o only_a mean_a and_o instrument_n but_o that_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n and_o author_n and_o that_o all_o praise_n belong_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o right_a and_o true_a matter_n and_o substance_n thereof_o and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o be_v here_o to_o remember_v and_o consequent_o we_o see_v also_o that_o the_o papist_n do_v too_o too_o foolish_o cavil_v to_o say_v that_o faith_n itself_o be_v a_o work_n and_o that_o if_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n that_o then_o work_n be_v not_o exclude_v and_o to_o prove_v their_o matter_n withal_o they_o allege_v that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o sixth_o of_o saint_n john_n 6.29_o joh._n 6.29_o this_o be_v the_o work_n that_o god_n require_v of_o you_o that_o you_o believe_v in_o his_o only_a son_n now_o jesus_n in_o this_o place_n call_v faith_n a_o work_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v you_o see_v whereat_o you_o must_v aim_v and_o apply_v your_o whole_a study_n for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o that_o the_o work_n shall_v merit_v and_o beside_o if_o we_o do_v confess_v that_o faith_n be_v a_o work_n which_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o justifi_v it_o not_o as_o a_o work_n do_v by_o we_o for_o if_o i_o give_v alm_n and_o pretend_v thereby_o to_o merit_v before_o god_n see_v how_o i_o shall_v be_v justify_v by_o my_o work_v if_o i_o help_v my_o neighbour_n and_o travel_v to_o do_v good_a unto_o this_o man_n or_o unto_o that_o as_o they_o shall_v have_v need_n loe_o how_o i_o shall_v be_v justify_v by_o my_o work_n now_o the_o reason_n be_v clean_o contrary_a in_o faith_n for_o in_o confess_v that_o we_o be_v all_o accurse_a and_o that_o by_o faith_n we_o receive_v that_o which_o god_n offer_v unto_o we_o we_o bring_v nothing_o with_o we_o on_o our_o behalf_n but_o come_v empty_a fist_v unto_o he_o i'faith_o than_o justifi_v not_o by_o bring_v any_o worthiness_n or_o merit_n with_o it_o unto_o god_n but_o because_o god_n receive_v from_o jesus_n christ_n that_o which_o he_o present_v unto_o he_o in_o our_o name_n and_o this_o confession_n must_v go_v before_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o which_o keep_v such_o a_o course_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o demand_v righteousness_n at_o god_n hand_n whereof_o they_o be_v utter_o void_a and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o the_o papist_n herein_o deal_v very_o foolish_o to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o a_o work_n if_o so_o be_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n now_o faith_n be_v a_o sacrifice_n wherewith_o god_n be_v please_v because_o he_o be_v thereby_o honour_a and_o praise_n and_o thanks_n render_v unto_o he_o who_o be_v only_o just_a and_o good_a and_o yet_o be_v we_o not_o justify_v by_o the_o power_n and_o virtue_n thereof_o to_o be_v short_a when_o god_n justifi_v we_o by_o faith_n there_o be_v in_o this_o justify_n enclose_v the_o grace_n which_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o because_o he_o will_v not_o see_v and_o behold_v the_o infirmity_n which_o be_v in_o our_o faith_n i'faith_o than_o justifi_v but_o yet_o as_o it_o be_v defective_a and_o imperfect_a and_o yet_o therein_o it_o justifi_v how_o can_v that_o be_v be_v defective_a and_o imperfect_a yes_o well_o enough_o for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v it_o be_v not_o require_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o faith_n to_o do_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o have_v power_n of_o itself_o to_o justify_v but_o receive_v simple_o that_o which_o be_v give_v it_o to_o do_v it_o from_o god_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o have_v but_o the_o least_o spark_n of_o faith_n as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v with_o this_o conclusion_n that_o there_o be_v no_o life_n in_o we_o but_o that_o which_o we_o have_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o all_o fullness_n be_v in_o he_o from_o who_o we_o draw_v that_o which_o we_o have_v and_o wherewith_o we_o be_v fill_v without_o all_o doubt_n we_o have_v then_o enough_o wherefore_o let_v let_v we_o learn_v so_o to_o believe_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o that_o when_o soever_o we_o shall_v stand_v in_o doubt_n we_o yet_o never_o cease_v to_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o his_o mercy_n which_o can_v never_o fail_v and_o continual_o fly_v unto_o he_o know_v right_a well_o that_o all_o perfection_n of_o righteousness_n be_v in_o he_o and_o be_v such_o also_o as_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v make_v partaker_n thereof_o and_o that_o although_o we_o have_v but_o the_o least_o drop_n of_o faith_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v 8._o rom._n 8._o and_o be_v environ_v and_o lade_v with_o this_o huge_a heap_n of_o corruption_n and_o sin_n that_o be_v in_o we_o which_o bring_v nothing_o else_o with_o it_o but_o death_n yet_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o we_o there_o be_v life_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o infirmity_n and_o corruption_n of_o our_o flesh_n &_o whatsoever_o else_o that_o may_v hinder_v our_o salvation_n shall_v all_o be_v abolish_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n if_o we_o have_v never_o so_o little_a a_o portion_n we_o shall_v be_v of_o who_o sure_o to_o live_v for_o ever_o let_v we_o now_o prostrate_v ourselves_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n in_o acknowledge_v our_o sin_n beseech_v he_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v the_o power_n and_o virtue_n which_o he_o

show_v yourselves_o like_o unto_o he_o or_o else_o you_o mock_v god_n in_o profane_v so_o holy_a and_o sacred_a a_o thing_n as_o the_o name_n of_o faith_n and_o righteousness_n be_v here_o we_o see_v saint_n james_n his_o meaning_n out_o of_o this_o text_n but_o these_o popish_a mastiff_n cur_n can_v no_o whit_n skill_n of_o this_o and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n very_o because_o they_o contemn_v god_n howbeit_o you_o shall_v hear_v they_o with_o open_a mouth_n talk_v of_o good_a work_n and_o a_o man_n will_v think_v to_o hear_v they_o debate_v thereof_o that_o they_o be_v angel_n and_o yet_o you_o may_v see_v what_o they_o be_v and_o i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o the_o whole_a state_n of_o their_o life_n be_v not_o altogether_o dissolute_a for_o a_o man_n shall_v find_v neither_o monk_n nor_o friar_n doctor_n nor_o yet_o any_o of_o that_o shear_a rabble_n but_o they_o be_v either_o rybaulde_n skorner_n of_o god_n whoremonger_n drunkard_n blasphemer_n to_o be_v short_a it_o shall_v seem_v that_o they_o have_v conspire_v with_o the_o devil_n to_o bring_v the_o whole_a world_n unto_o confusion_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o they_o will_v pretend_v good_a work_n and_o speak_v of_o nothing_o else_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n although_o they_o be_v so_o blind_a but_o to_o speak_v but_o a_o word_n of_o that_o which_o we_o have_v explain_v out_o of_o saint_n james_n we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v but_o not_o without_o work_n &_o yet_o we_o be_v justify_v without_o work_n when_o we_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v but_o not_o without_o work_n we_o separate_v not_o this_o and_o how_o so_o very_o because_o that_o he_o who_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o faith_n be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v that_o god_n forgive_v he_o his_o sin_n believe_v in_o the_o passion_n and_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o know_v that_o by_o his_o resurrection_n he_o receive_v life_n from_o he_o so_o then_o whosoever_o believe_v after_o this_o sort_n be_v not_o justify_v without_o work_n and_o why_o because_o that_o god_n bestow_v his_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o he_o which_o so_o reform_v he_o as_o that_o good_a work_n can_v be_v choose_v but_o be_v join_v together_o with_o faith_n and_o yet_o be_v the_o other_o say_v also_o true_a to_o wite_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v without_o work_n that_o be_v to_o say_v without_o any_o help_n of_o good_a work_n so_o as_o we_o always_o remain_v bind_v unto_o god_n here_o we_o see_v two_o place_n without_o alter_v the_o word_n wherein_o it_o shall_v seem_v they_o be_v altogether_o diverse_a and_o sundry_a as_o to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v without_o work_n &_o that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v without_o work_n howbeit_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o work_n be_v not_o for_o all_o this_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n as_o to_o make_v they_o merit_v any_o whit_n before_o god_n so_o as_o to_o accept_v we_o according_a to_o our_o worthiness_n but_o it_o be_v because_o that_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n bear_v we_o not_o only_o a_o simple_a grace_n and_o favour_n but_o a_o double_a that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o cover_v all_o our_o iniquity_n and_o offence_n through_o his_o pure_a obedience_n and_o appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n his_o father_n by_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v up_o once_o for_o all_o to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o yet_o he_o so_o rule_v and_o govern_v we_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n who_o he_o have_v receive_v in_o all_o fullness_n and_o rest_v upon_o he_o that_o if_o so_o be_v we_o do_v not_o abuse_v his_o grace_n bestow_v upon_o we_o we_o be_v free_v from_o the_o band_n of_o satan_n that_o we_o may_v take_v good_a heed_n as_o s._n peter_n say_v not_o to_o follow_v the_o lust_n and_o desire_n of_o the_o flesh_n this_o than_o we_o see_v may_v suffice_v for_o the_o exposition_n of_o this_o place_n now_o moses_n add_v immediate_o follow_v that_o god_n speak_v again_o unto_o abram_n and_o say_v i_o be_o the_o lord_n which_o bring_v thou_o out_o of_o ur_fw-la of_o the_o chaldee_n to_o give_v thou_o this_o land_n to_o inherit_v it_o here_o we_o see_v that_o god_n reitereat_v his_o promise_n for_o the_o confirm_v nourish_a and_o increase_v of_o abram_n his_o faith_n until_o such_o time_n as_o it_o be_v grow_v unto_o a_o full_a perfection_n whereupon_o we_o be_v to_o conclude_v that_o although_o abram_n be_v the_o mirror_n and_o pattern_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o very_a image_n of_o righteousness_n yet_o be_v his_o faith_n imperfect_a for_o else_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v here_o set_v down_o be_v superfluous_a for_o if_o the_o faith_n of_o abram_n be_v so_o thorough_o confirm_v as_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v amend_v god_n need_v not_o to_o have_v speak_v any_o more_o and_o why_o so_o the_o promise_n have_v this_o use_n and_o benefit_n that_o they_o draw_v we_o unto_o faith_n and_o when_o we_o have_v get_v it_o they_o be_v to_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o right_a way_n to_o encourage_v and_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o go_v on_o valiant_o to_o refresh_v we_o when_o we_o be_v almost_o weary_a to_o augment_v our_o virtue_n when_o it_o begin_v to_o fail_v and_o to_o be_v weak_a here_o i_o say_v we_o see_v why_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n testify_v &_o declare_v unto_o we_o of_o his_o mere_a goodness_n that_o he_o be_v our_o god_n that_o be_v to_o begin_v faith_n in_o we_o or_o else_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o perfection_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v needful_a for_o abram_n to_o go_v somewhat_o further_o and_o hereby_o we_o see_v that_o although_o our_o faith_n be_v unperfect_a yet_o that_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o justify_v us._n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n because_o he_o impute_v not_o the_o infirmity_n that_o be_v in_o it_o unto_o we_o but_o how_o ever_o it_o be_v we_o be_v here_o admonish_v by_o this_o place_n not_o to_o be_v prevent_v by_o any_o foolish_a opinion_n of_o our_o own_o as_o a_o great_a many_o of_o man_n be_v who_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v such_o great_a clark_n as_o that_o they_o will_v not_o once_o vouchsafe_v to_o come_v any_o more_o unto_o the_o school_n of_o god_n let_v we_o therefore_o understand_v and_o know_v that_o although_o our_o faith_n be_v great_a and_o more_o powerful_a than_o now_o it_o be_v yet_o must_v we_o be_v scholar_n all_o our_o life_n long_o to_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n sound_v in_o our_o care_n and_o to_o have_v our_o memory_n rub_v over_o &_o refresh_v that_o we_o may_v not_o forget_v that_o which_o we_o have_v learn_v that_o that_o which_o have_v not_o take_v deep_a root_n in_o our_o heart_n may_v receive_v a_o better_a and_o deep_a impression_n and_o that_o god_n when_o he_o have_v cast_v his_o seed_n into_o we_o according_a to_o saint_n paul_n his_o comparison_n we_o may_v daily_o water_v it_o in_o

with_o we_o when_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v receive_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o incorruptible_a life_n god_n must_v rain_v down_o from_o heaven_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o must_v continual_o benefit_n

the_o law_n he_o show_v that_o although_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o all_o those_o to_o who_o he_o have_v make_v promise_n that_o how_o many_o soever_o shall_v accomplish_v all_o which_o he_o have_v

the_o law_n can_v do_v it_o and_o why_o so_o because_o they_o still_o leave_v we_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o condemnation_n for_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o else_o but_o sin_n so_o long_o as_o we_o remain_v in_o this_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o he_o whatsoever_o he_o be_v that_o shall_v think_v himself_o to_o be_v most_o righteous_a shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o

the_o foot_n of_o our_o judge_n and_o so_o crave_v pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n as_o hereafter_o shall_v be_v more_o large_o let_v down_o let_v we_o now_o then_o return_v unto_o the_o place_n depend_v upon_o that_o which_o i_o have_v already_o touch_v which_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v set_v before_o we_o to_o iustitie_n we_o in_o all_o thing_n whereof_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v never_o

make_v they_o acceptable_a before_o god_n but_o contrariwise_o that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v come_v to_o justify_v we_o of_o those_o thing_n whereof_o the_o law_n be_v never_o able_a to_o do_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o say_n to_o justify_v we_o of_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o pardon_v and_o forgive_v we_o they_o we_o see_v now_o by_o this_o place_n which_o i_o have_v already_o speak_v of_o that_o the_o righteousness_n which_o moses_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n resident_a in_o our_o person_n but_o god_n free_a forgive_n of_o we_o when_o as_o he_o be_v merciful_a and_o love_a unto_o we_o albeit_o we_o be_v no_o whit_n worthy_a thereof_o for_o this_o which_o moses_n here_o set_v down_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o man_n whatsoever_o but_o in_o jesus_n christ_n who_o must_v only_o justify_v we_o and_o how_o be_v that_o that_o be_v if_o the_o devil_n shall_v accuse_v we_o and_o god_n ready_a to_o judge_v and_o condemn_v we_o then_o will_v jesus_n christ_n answer_n for_o we_o as_o our_o surety_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o obedience_n of_o jesus_n christ_n serve_v we_o as_o a_o cloak_n to_o cover_v all_o our_o rebellion_n and_o iniquity_n it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v satisfy_v for_o we_o and_o discharge_v we_o of_o all_o our_o debt_n by_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o death_n &_o shed_v his_o precious_a

our_o sin_n be_v not_o impute_v unto_o us._n here_o then_o we_o see_v in_o sum_n what_o we_o be_v to_o remember_v from_o this_o place_n we_o be_v now_o to_o proceed_v somewhat_o further_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o when_o god_n have_v once_o for_o all_o receive_v we_o thus_o to_o mercy_n how_o he_o continue_v hold_v and_o vow_v we_o for_o righteous_a all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n and_o even_o in_o death_n also_o for_o this_o be_v the_o principal_a point_n whereat_o we_o must_v aim_v &_o come_v unto_o howbeit_o we_o can_v at_o this_o time_n stand_v to_o handle_v it_o let_v it_o suffice_v they_o to_o the_o end_n thing_n may_v be_v well_o keep_v in_o mind_n that_o we_o know_v &_o understand_v what_o the_o open_a way_n be_v that_o we_o must_v have_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o everlasting_a salvation_n which_o come_v unto_o we_o by_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o be_v we_o must_v know_v &_o understand_v how_o miserable_a &_o wretched_a our_o state_n and_o condition_n be_v not_o by_o confess_v the_o same_o with_o our_o mouth_n only_o or_o have_v a_o vain_a imagination_n swim_v in_o our_o brain_n thereof_o but_o to_o be_v so_o sorrowful_o wound_v

jesus_n christ_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o we_o know_v ourselves_o to_o be_v very_o wretched_a sick_a creature_n and_o poor_a and_o needy_a soule●●_n but_o we_o must_v be_v dead_a altogether_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v by_o the_o only_a grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v reviue_v and_o that_o hereupon_o we_o may_v be_v so_o humble_v as_o the_o scripture_n will_v we_o which_o be_v to_o give_v unto_o god_n that_o honour_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o he_o and_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o david_n speak_v 51.17_o psal_n 51.17_o when_o as_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o humble_a and_o contrite_a heart_n which_o god_n require_v for_o we_o shall_v never_o come_v unto_o he_o except_o we_o be_v altogether_o cast_v down_o in_o ourselves_o and_o then_o we_o must_v carry_v this_o mind_n and_o affection_n with_o we_o that_o we_o be_v wonderful_o grieve_v &_o perplex_v in_o our_o distress_n and_o then_o will_v we_o in_o deed_n confess_v that_o we_o
