justifi_v be_v alone_a but_o we_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v always_o join_v with_o good_a work_n only_o we_o contend_v that_o it_o alone_o avail_v unto_o justification_n the_o papist_n themselves_o like_o tormentoure_n do_v tear_v and_o rend_v faith_n miserablye_o while_o sometime_o they_o make_v it_o unshape_v and_o without_o charity_n and_o sometime_o shape_v as_o for_o we_o we_o hold_v that_o true_a faith_n can_v be_v pluck_v away_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o regeneration_n but_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o cause_n of_o justification_n than_o we_o shut_v out_o all_o work_n as_o touch_v this_o presence_n place_n paul_n do_v not_o reason_n whether_o charity_n work_v with_o faith_n to_o justify_v but_o only_o show_v what_o be_v now_o the_o true_a exercise_n of_o the_o faithful_a lest_o he_o shall_v seem_v to_o make_v christian_n idle_a and_o as_o it_o be_v like_a to_o block_n therefore_o when_o you_o be_v in_o hand_n with_o the_o cause_n of_o justification_n take_v heed_n you_o admit_v not_o any_o mention_n of_o charity_n or_o of_o work_n but_o firmelye_o hold_v fast_o that_o which_o shut_v they_o out_o in_o as_o much_o as_o paul_n here_o do_v not_o entreat_v of_o justification_n nor_o yet_o assign_v the_o praise_n thereof_o to_o charity_n in_o part_n we_o may_v thereby_o readilye_o conclude_v that_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o shall_v follow_v that_o circumcision_n and_o ceremony_n do_v justify_v in_o time_n past_a for_o as_o he_o commend_v faith_n with_o charity_n in_o jesus_n christ_n so_o before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n ceremony_n be_v require_v but_o that_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o deserve_a of_o righteousness_n which_o the_o papist_n also_o will_v confess_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o think_v so_o of_o charity_n neither_o

thereof_o with_o false_a and_o forge_a opinion_n many_o because_o they_o consider_v not_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o evil_a be_v less_o vehement_a in_o resist_v the_o same_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n here_o do_v cry_v out_o that_o no_o jot_n of_o safety_n do_v remain_v after_o that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v corrupt_v and_o he_o use_v the_o similitude_n of_o leaven_n which_o although_o it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a do_v send_v out_o it_o sharpness_n into_o the_o whole_a lump_n therefore_o we_o must_v careful_o beware_v that_o we_o suffer_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o be_v

return_v readylye_o and_o easy_o to_o agree_v to_o the_o truth_n and_o that_o give_v we_o a_o courage_n when_o we_o hear_v that_o we_o be_v well_o hope_v of_o for_o we_o count_v it_o a_o foul_a matter_n to_o deceyve_v the_o opynyon_n of_o they_o who_o judge_v love_o and_o friendly_a of_o us._n and_o because_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o bring_v the_o galathian_o again_o to_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o faith_n from_o which_o they_o have_v swerve_v he_o say_v he_o hope_v in_o the_o lord_n whereby_o he_o monish_v they_o that_o return_v or_o repentance_n be_v a_o heavenlye_a gift_n that_o they_o also_o may_v ask_v the_o same_o of_o god_n he_o that_o trouble_v you_o it_o be_v a_o confirmation_n of_o the_o sentence_n go_v afore_o because_o after_o a_o sort_n he_o lay_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o blame_n upon_o those_o deceiver_n by_o who_o the_o galathian_o be_v beguile_v for_o look_v what_o revengement_n he_o denounce_v against_o they_o from_o the_o same_o for_o the_o most_o part_n do_v he_o exempt_v the_o galathian_o but_o whosoever_o they_o be_v that_o give_v occasion_n of_o hurly_n bulyes_n to_o the_o church_n whosoever_o break_v the_o unity_n of_o faith_n whosoever_o make_v concord_n shake_v and_o decay_n let_v they_o hear_v and_o if_o they_o be_v in_o their_o right_a wit_n let_v they_o shake_v for_o fear_n at_o this_o speech_n for_o god_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o paul_n do_v pronounce_v that_o no_o such_o authoure_n of_o offence_n shall_v escape_v unrevenged_a this_o piece_n whosoever_o hold_v have_v a_o force_n in_o it_o for_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o false_a apostle_n by_o their_o great_a word_n do_v terrify_v the_o ignorant_a and_o unlearned_a multitude_n it_o behove_v paul_n on_o the_o other_o side_n so_o lofty_o to_o extol_v his_o doctrine_n that_o he_o shall_v spare_v none_o which_o dare_v quetche_v against_o he_o whatsoever_o title_n otherwise_o they_o be_v know_v by_o 11_o and_o i_o brother_n a_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o final_a cause_n i_o may_v say_v he_o avoid_v the_o hatred_n of_o man_n danger_n and_o persecution_n if_o i_o will_v but_o only_o mingle_v ceremony_n with_o christ_n whereas_o therefore_o i_o contend_v so_o great_o about_o this_o matter_n to_o maintain_v the_o contrary_a i_o do_v it_o not_o for_o my_o own_o cause_n nor_o yet_o for_o my_o own_o profit_n but_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v true_a which_o he_o teach_v i_o answer_v that_o the_o right_a affection_n and_o pure_a conscience_n of_o the_o teacher_n be_v of_o no_o small_a force_n to_o win_v credit_n moreover_o it_o be_v
what_o need_v that_o to_o be_v get_v we_o of_o another_o that_o we_o can_v give_v to_o our_o own_o self_n truelye_o if_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v our_o redemption_n than_o be_v we_o captive_n if_o our_o satisfaction_n than_o be_v we_o debtor_n if_o our_o purge_n than_o be_v we_o guilty_a if_o our_o wash_n than_o be_v we_o unclean_a and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n he_o that_o do_v attribute_n unto_o work_n his_o cleanness_n his_o forgiveness_n purge_v righteousness_n and_o deliveraunce_n do_v make_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n vain_a here_o perhaps_o somebody_o will_v object_n objection_n that_o the_o argument_n be_v not_o of_o force_n against_o they_o which_o couple_n the_o grace_n of_o christ_n with_o work_n which_o no_o man_n need_v doubt_n but_o the_o false_a apostle_n do_v for_o these_o two_o clause_n stand_v together_o that_o righteousness_n be_v by_o the_o law_n and_o we_o be_v redeem_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n i_o grant_v answer_v if_o we_o yield_v part_n of_o our_o righteousness_n to_o be_v get_v by_o work_n and_o part_n to_o come_v by_o grace_n but_o we_o may_v readilye_o gather_v that_o this_o kind_n of_o divinitye_n be_v unknown_a unto_o paul_n for_o either_o he_o do_v wiselye_o and_o orderlye_o reason_n against_o his_o adversary_n or_o else_o foolishlye_a and_o overthwartelye_a if_o so_o be_v any_o blasphemer_n dare_v be_v so_o bold_a to_o accuse_v he_o the_o defence_n for_o paul_n be_v forcible_a enough_o name_o that_o that_o be_v repute_v righteousness_n before_o god_n not_o such_o as_o we_o man_n imagine_v but_o such_o unto_o which_o nothing_o be_v want_v but_o because_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o the_o present_a purpose_n to_o plead_v paul_n cause_n against_o blasphemer_n which_o dare_v bark_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n let_v we_o try_v the_o matter_n with_o the_o papist_n they_o mock_v we_o when_o according_a to_o paul_n we_o reason_n that_o christ_n die_v in_o vain_a if_o righteousness_n be_v by_o work_n for_o they_o think_v themselves_o arm_v with_o a_o trim_a answer_n when_o they_o bring_v out_o of_o their_o sophister_n that_o christ_n deserve_v for_o we_o the_o first_o grace_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o occasion_n of_o deserve_v and_o that_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o death_n do_v concur_v and_o meet_v together_o with_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o work_n to_o the_o daily_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n let_v they_o than_o mock_v paul_n out_o of_o who_o mouth_n we_o speak_v for_o they_o must_v confute_v he_o before_o they_o confute_v us._n we_o know_v that_o he_o have_v to_o do_v with_o man_n which_o do_v not_o utter_o shut_v out_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n but_o do_v place_v the_o one_o half_a of_o salvation_n in_o work_n against_o who_o he_o reason_v thus_o christ_n die_v in_o vain_a if_o righteousness_n be_v by_o the_o law_n and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o leave_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o righteousness_n unto_o work_n the_o papist_n differ_v not_o from_o they_o a_o whit_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a unto_o we_o also_o to_o use_v the_o argument_n or_o reason_n of_o paul_n to_o confute_v they_o the_o end_n of_o the_o second_o chapter_n ¶_o the_o three_o chapter_n 1_o o_o foolish_a galathian_n who_o have_v bewitch_v you_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o obey_v the_o truth_n unto_o who_o jesus_n christ_n be_v paint_v forth_o before_o your_o eye_n be_v crucify_v among_o
