see_v that_o he_o do_v much_o of_o the_o second_o table_n and_o little_a of_o the_o first_o and_o the_o hypocrite_n again_o do_v much_o of_o the_o first_o and_o little_a of_o the_o second_o let_v

much_o faith_n there_o be_v if_o there_o be_v no_o work_n there_o be_v no_o faith_n if_o the_o work_v be_v few_o the_o faith_n be_v a_o languish_a faith_n if_o the_o work_v be_v many_o the_o faith_n

work_n i_o say_v we_o teach_v that_o not_o a_o naked_a but_o a_o effectual_a faith_n do_v it_o so_o that_o all_o the_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o we_o be_v this_o we_o agree_v both_o in_o this_o that_o work_n be_v necessary_o require_v to_o salvation_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v see_v god_n without_o they_o without_o pureness_n of_o heart_n and_o integrity_n of_o life_n we_o say_v except_o man_n mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n by_o the_o spirit_n they_o shall_v die_v and_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n put_v upon_o man_n to_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n in_o this_o we_o agree_v justification_n but_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n they_o say_v that_o faith_n and_o work_v both_o be_v require_v to_o justify_v we_o say_v that_o nothing_o be_v require_v but_o faith_n and_o that_o work_v follow_v faith_n we_o say_v faith_n indeed_o be_v work_v and_o produce_v ●uch_v effect_n so_o that_o whereas_o they_o say_v faith_n and_o work_n we_o say_v faith_n only_o but_o it_o must_v be_v a_o effectual_a faith_n a_o work_a faith_n object_n if_o they_o object_v that_o place_n of_o james_n we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o faith_n but_o by_o work_n ans._n i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a justification_n there_o be_v a_o justification_n of_o the_o person_n double_a so_o be_v abraham_n justify_v by_o faith_n as_o paul_n express_v it_o rom._n 4._o 4._o but_o then_o there_o be_v a_o second_o justification_n a_o justification_n of_o the_o faith_n that_o abraham_n have_v he_o justify_v his_o faith_n by_o his_o work_n he_o show_v that_o he_o have_v not_o a_o dead_a faith_n a_o liveless_a faith_n a_o faith_n without_o work_n but_o that_o he_o have_v a_o lively_a effectual_a faith_n for_o he_o add_v work_n to_o his_o faith_n his_o work_n wrought_v together_o with_o his_o faith_n so_o that_o if_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o abraham_n be_v a_o hypocrite_n his_o work_v justify_v he_o that_o he_o be_v none_o if_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o abraham_n be_v a_o sinner_n his_o faith_n justify_v he_o and_o show_v that_o he_o be_v make_v righteous_a through_o faith_n note_n so_o there_o be_v a_o justification_n of_o the_o person_n and_o a_o justification_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o person_n as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o justify_v such_o a_o action_n simile_n or_o such_o a_o cause_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o he_o will_v make_v that_o just_a which_o be_v unjust_a before_o but_o he_o will_v make_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v just_a so_o abraham_n be_v declare_v to_o have_v a_o justify_v faith_n by_o that_o power_n and_o efficacy_n it_o wrought_v in_o he_o in_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n again_o it_o be_v object_v out_o of_o that_o place_n that_o by_o work_n faith_n be_v make_v perfect_a therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o faith_n be_v nothing_o alone_a if_o work_n be_v not_o join_v with_o it_o answ._n i_o answer_v what_o that_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o faith_n be_v make_v perfect_a by_o work_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o faith_n be_v make_v good_a by_o work_n the_o perfection_n of_o faith_n be_v declare_v by_o work_n as_o one_o that_o profess_v that_o he_o have_v a_o art_n simile_n and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o and_o that_o if_o he_o do_v the_o work_v wherein_o his_o art_n be_v show_v if_o he_o make_v any_o artificial_a work_n by_o that_o he_o make_v good_a his_o art_n or_o as_o when_o we_o say_v these_o tree_n be_v good_a because_o they_o have_v sap_n in_o they_o they_o be_v not_o dead_a tree_n now_o the_o tree_n be_v make_v perfect_a by_o the_o fruit_n so_o faith_n by_o work_n be_v make_v perfect_a not_o that_o work_v put_v life_n into_o faith_n the_o sap_n must_v first_o be_v in_o the_o tree_n and_o then_o it_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n so_o there_o must_v first_o be_v a_o life_n in_o faith_n and_o then_o it_o bring_v forth_o work_n so_o that_o when_o we_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v make_v perfect_a by_o work_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o work_v declare_v faith_n to_o be_v right_a as_o the_o fruit_n do_v declare_v the_o tree_n to_o have_v sap_n again_o object_n if_o it_o be_v object_v as_o it_o be_v by_o they_o that_o work_n and_o love_n etc._n etc._n be_v to_o faith_n as_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o the_o body_n for_o as_o the_o body_n without_o the_o soul_n be_v dead_a so_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a hence_o they_o gather_v that_o faith_n be_v as_o the_o body_n and_o that_o love_n and_o work_n be_v as_o the_o soul_n therefore_o faith_n justify_v not_o but_o work_n ans._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v dead_a they_o take_v the_o comparison_n amiss_o for_o the_o scope_n of_o it_o be_v this_o as_o a_o soulless_a body_n be_v nothing_o worth_a it_o be_v dead_a and_o no_o man_n regard_v it_o so_o be_v a_o workelesse_a faith_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o work_n be_v as_o the_o soul_n and_o faith_n as_o the_o body_n but_o as_o a_o man_n when_o he_o look_v upon_o a_o carcase_n and_o see_v no_o life_n in_o it_o no_o pulse_n no_o motion_n no_o sense_n such_o a_o body_n be_v nothing_o worth_a so_o when_o we_o see_v a_o faith_n without_o motion_n that_o have_v no_o pulse_n that_o have_v no_o expression_n of_o life_n in_o it_o such_o a_o faith_n be_v of_o no_o worth_n object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n to_o what_o end_n be_v good_a work_v require_v ans._n i_o answer_v there_o be_v end_n enough_o there_o be_v motive_n enough_o not_o be_v not_o love_v a_o ground_n strong_a enough_o to_o bring_v forth_o good_a work_n when_o this_o objection_n be_v make_v to_o paul_n rom._n 6._o if_o grace_n abound_v 2._o why_o may_v we_o not_o sin_v the_o more_o for_o grace_n abound_v as_o sin_n abound_v he_o may_v easy_o have_v answer_v christ._n except_o you_o do_v good_a work_n you_o can_v be_v save_v but_o he_o say_v how_o can_v we_o that_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n live_v any_o long_o therein_o that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v once_o in_o christ_n there_o will_v be_v such_o a_o change_n wrought_v in_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v find_v christ_n kill_v sin_n in_o he_o and_o he_o shall_v be_v raise_v again_o to_o newness_n of_o life_n insomuch_o that_o he_o must_v of_o necessity_n do_v it_o there_o will_v be_v love_n in_o his_o heart_n that_o will_v set_v he_o a-work_o that_o will_v constrain_v he_o therefore_o say_v he_o be_v you_o not_o baptize_v into_o christ_n death_n that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n he_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n as_o christ_n die_v for_o he_o so_o that_o though_o there_o be_v no_o such_o motive_n as_o for_o a_o man_n to_o get_v heaven_n by_o his_o work_n yet_o upon_o the_o take_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o love_n plant_v in_o the_o heart_n there_o be_v a_o change_n wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o aptness_n in_o it_o to_o do_v good_a work_n so_o that_o now_o a_o man_n delight_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n concern_v his_o inward_a man_n he_o desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o be_v employ_v in_o it_o it_o be_v his_o meat_n and_o drink_v to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god._n be_v not_o this_o enough_o to_o move_v we_o again_o work_n though_o good_a work_n be_v not_o require_v for_o justification_n yet_o this_o may_v be_v a_o motive_n god_n reward_v we_o he_o chasten_v and_o afflict_v we_o according_a to_o our_o work_n 1_o pet._n 1.15_o 1.15_o

paul_n in_o eph._n 1._o 1.18_o in_o all_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o chapter_n to_o the_o 18._o verse_n have_v declare_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o salvation_n he_o take_v himself_o upon_o

it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o he_o do_v not_o accept_v of_o it_o i_o say_v it_o be_v no_o more_o faith_n than_o a_o dead_a man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o man_n you_o give_v the_o name_n of_o a_o

may_v be_v many_o delusion_n in_o this_o kind_n many_o hypocrite_n may_v have_v great_a rapture_n they_o may_v have_v great_a joy_n as_o if_o they_o be_v lift_v up_o into_o the_o three_o heaven_n they_o may_v have_v a_o great_a and_o strong_a persuasion_n that_o their_o estate_n be_v good_a satan_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o delude_v we_o in_o this_o kind_n to_o put_v a_o counterfeit_n upon_o we_o

to_o do_v with_o christ_n you_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o he_o and_o if_o you_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o he_o what_o do_v you_o with_o the_o element_n which_o represent_v his_o body_n and_o his_o

such_o work_n thou_o need_v not_o examine_v further_o thou_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o thou_o have_v not_o faith_n but_o if_o thou_o have_v such_o a_o work_n if_o thou_o will_v know_v whether_o it_o

thy_o heart_n it_o sanctify_v thou_o and_o therefore_o you_o see_v why_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v always_o put_v together_o repent_v and_o believe_v for_o they_o be_v never_o disjoin_v if_o
