like_a as_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n because_o it_o be_v not_o alone_o but_o have_v light_n and_o heat_n therefore_o shine_v not_o only_o with_o his_o light_n but_o also_o with_o his_o heat_n so_o likewise_o it_o follow_v not_o which_o our_o adversary_n affirm_v faith_n be_v not_o alone_o but_o join_v with_o charity_n therefore_o faith_n only_o justify_v not_o before_o god_n but_o charity_n also_o but_o touch_v justification_n i_o shall_v by_o god_n help_n hereafter_o speak_v more_o at_o large_a the._n xx_o question_n whether_o man_n be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o faith_n only_o in_o christ_n or_o by_o good_a work_n also_o the_o answer_n first_o we_o will_v show_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v before_o god._n god_n and_o that_o be_v to_o be_v purge_v from_o sin_n deliver_v from_o the_o punishment_n thereof_o and_o to_o be_v have_v and_o receive_v into_o the_o number_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n of_o eternal_a life_n yea_o and_o that_o before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n before_o the_o which_o all_o man_n be_v accuse_v and_o condemn_v as_o guilty_a and_o that_o we_o shall_v every_o one_o of_o we_o before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n be_v convict_v and_o find_v guilty_n of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a damnation_n paul_n in_o the_o third_o to_o the_o roman_n do_v plain_o teach_v and_o again_o that_o justification_n be_v the_o take_v away_o and_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o same_o apt_o also_o teach_v acts._n 13._o wherefore_o the_o remission_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o the_o punishment_n or_o damnation_n be_v call_v of_o he_o justification_n rom._n 5._o and_o that_o to_o be_v justify_v and_o adopt_v in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o son_n and_o heir_n of_o god_n be_v all_o one_o we_o may_v gather_v by_o that_o paul_n say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o saint_n john_n say_v but_o as_o many_o as_o believe_v he_o he_o give_v they_o heir_n power_n to_o be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god._n second_o we_o must_v seek_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n forgive_v our_o sin_n deliver_v we_o from_o damnation_n and_o adopt_v we_o into_o his_o son_n and_o heir_n true_o the_o proper_a cause_n hereof_o be_v his_o mercy_n and_o grace_n by_o the_o which_o he_o give_v unto_o we_o his_o only_a son_n to_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o to_o suffer_v death_n and_o shed_v his_o blood_n for_o our_o sake_n to_o the_o end_n that_o be_v deliver_v from_o our_o sin_n eternal_a death_n and_o damnation_n free_a from_o all_o accusation_n we_o may_v be_v absolve_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n yea_o and_o that_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o chryst_n for_o his_o righteousness_n be_v make_v we_o we_o may_v be_v make_v heir_n of_o eternal_a life_n wherefore_o it_o be_v only_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o blood_n and_o death_n of_o chryst_n and_o his_o innocence_n and_o righteousness_n for_o who_o sake_n we_o be_v not_o condemn_v but_o be_v adopt_v into_o his_o son_n and_o heir_n and_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o eternal_a life_n of_o this_o doctrine_n there_o be_v diverse_a proof_n in_o paul_n rom._n 3._o 4._o and._n 5._o 2._o corinth_n 5._o ephesi_n 1._o coloss._n 1._o and._n 2._o tim._n 2._o etc_n etc_n furthermore_o we_o must_v note_v by_o what_o mean_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n us._n redemption_n righteousness_n and_o eternal_a life_n be_v impute_v unto_o we_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n how_o we_o receive_v it_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v they_o be_v make_v we_o so_o that_o christ_n in_o we_o and_o we_o in_o he_o do_v live_v all_o the_o good_a gift_n of_o god_n be_v impute_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n testify_v almost_o every_o where_o and_o chief_o our_o lord_n himself_o say_v it_o be_v the_o spirit_n which_o quicken_v etc_n etc_n and_o we_o receive_v all_o these_o thing_n by_o faith_n yea_o by_o faith_n only_o and_o by_o none_o other_o thing_n and_o therefore_o it_o may_v very_o well_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o say_v only_o for_o christ_n himself_o in_o the_o third_o of_o john_n teach_v we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v save_v even_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o the_o israelite_n be_v heal_v of_o the_o deadly_a sting_a of_o the_o serpent_n for_o as_o they_o can_v by_o none_o other_o mean_n attain_v unto_o health_n than_o by_o the_o behold_n of_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n hang_v up_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o camp_n so_o we_o can_v by_o none_o other_o mean_n be_v deliver_v from_o everlasting_a death_n and_o damnation_n and_o be_v preserve_v in_o eternal_a life_n than_o by_o the_o behold_n of_o christ_n crucify_a and_o this_o behold_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v faith_n yea_o faith_n only_o for_o as_o no_o work_n no_o prayer_n fast_n alm_n sacrifice_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o whatsoever_o can_v help_v the_o sting_v of_o the_o serpent_n but_o only_o the_o behold_n of_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n so_o be_v there_o nothing_o that_o can_v save_v we_o but_o faith_n only_o wherefore_o chryst_n in_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o saint_n john_n say_v very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o except_o you_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o and_o to_o eat_v the_o lord_n himself_o interpret_v it_o to_o believe_v but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o desire_v to_o know_v more_o testimony_n by_o the_o which_o our_o justification_n in_o christ_n by_o faith_n only_o be_v prove_v then_o let_v he_o read_v the_o third_o and_o four_o chapter_n of_o s._n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o also_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n where_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o second_o chapter_n write_v thus_o now_o live_v i_o no_o long_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o and_o the_o life_n which_o i_o now_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n i_o live_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n etc_n etc_n wherefore_o when_o we_o say_v that_o faith_n only_o in_o chryst_n justify_v we_o attribute_v not_o justification_n to_o faith_n as_o in_o respect_n that_o it_o be_v any_o work_n of_o we_o for_o faith_n also_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_o but_o because_o that_o faith_n only_o behold_v or_o regard_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o chryst_n and_o trust_v only_o herein_o &_o in_o none_o other_o thing_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n justify_v as_o we_o have_v say_v before_o therefore_o when_o we_o strive_v and_o contend_v about_o this_o question_n faith_n only_o justify_v we_o strive_v for_o christ_n cause_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o god_o that_o this_o justification_n may_v be_v attribute_v to_o none_o other_o than_o christ_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v have_v one_o only_o true_a righteousness_n last_o justify_v of_o all_o we_o must_v show_v why_o not_o only_o we_o do_v not_o attribute_v justification_n to_o work_v but_o also_o wherefore_o we_o suffer_v not_o part_n thereof_o to_o be_v attribute_v to_o work_n and_o part_n to_o faith_n but_o say_v plain_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v only_o by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o work_n first_o for_o that_o god_n will_v in_o no_o wise_n have_v we_o to_o glory_n and_o trust_n in_o ourselves_o but_o in_o he_o alone_o like_a as_o it_o be_v manifest_o teach_v rom._n 3._o 1._o corinth_n 1._o lerem_fw-la 9_o those_o therefore_o which_o impute_v their_o righteousness_n to_o work_n they_o trust_v in_o they_o but_o those_o which_o believe_v in_o christ_n by_o who_o through_o grace_n their_o sin_n be_v forgive_v and_o obtain_v salvation_n they_o trust_n not_o in_o themselves_o but_o in_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n alone_o second_o all_o good_a work_n be_v wrought_v of_o good_a man_n wherefore_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o the_o tree_n be_v make_v good_a before_o she_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n and_o therefore_o the_o fruit_n make_v not_o the_o tree_n good_a but_o be_v rather_o the_o sign_n of_o a_o good_a tr●e_n so_o it_o follow_v that_o work_v d●●_n not_o iustfie_v because_o they_o be_v ●oone_o of_o those_o which_o before_o be_v make_v righteous_a through_o grace_n wherefore_o all_o man_n may_v easy_o know_v that_o the_o righteous_a do_v not_o good_a work_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v thereby_o be_v righteous_a but_o rather_o because_o they_o be_v righteous_a so_o that_o now_o those_o which_o without_o work_n be_v first_o justify_v by_o grace_n bring_v afterward_o forth_o good_a work_n even_o as_o the_o good_a tree_n bear_v good_a fruit_n three_o the_o work_n even_o of_o the_o faithful_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o infirmity_n of_o man_n nature_n which_o remain_v with_o we_o yea_o unto_o death_n be_v never_o so_o pure_a and_o perfect_a that_o they_o dare_v ascribe_v

believe_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n and_o life_n everlasting_a second_o it_o be_v call_v the_o communion_n or_o fellowship_n of_o saint_n saint_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o faithful_a for_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o epistle_n of_o s._n paul_n the_o apostle_n and_o other_o bless_a father_n call_v the_o faithful_a or_o christian_n saint_n because_o as_o i_o say_v before_o they_o be_v sanctify_v by_o christ_n in_o his_o blood_n through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o because_o the_o church_n be_v a_o congregation_n or_o company_n peradventure_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v in_o our_o mother_n tongue_n kuch_n by_o this_o letter_n l_o and_o not_o as_o some_o other_o german_n do_v sound_v it_o by_o the_o letter_n r._n for_o in_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n the_o people_n or_o church_n of_o god_n be_v call_v k●ha●_n and_o keh●●a●_n whereupon_o the_o german_n say_v kilcha_fw-mi but_o whether_o it_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o hebrew_n or_o from_o the_o greek_a it_o be_v all_o one_o for_o each_o of_o those_o word_n signify_v the_o congregation_n or_o fellowship_n of_o god_n people_n even_o as_o this_o word_n ecclesia_fw-la amongst_o the_o latin_n do_v also_o signify_v which_o word_n be_v borrow_v of_o the_o grecian_n and_o although_o the_o universal_a church_n of_o god_n in_o this_o earth_n can_v not_o be_v bring_v into_o one_o company_n or_o fellowship_n before_o the_o last_o day_n yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v the_o same_o nevertheless_o a_o spiritual_a and_o invisible_a body_n perfect_o compact_a under_o one_o 4._o head_n jesus_n christ_n even_o as_o diverse_a member_n have_v sundry_a operation_n be_v join_v in_o one_o body_n the_o universal_a divide_v church_n of_o chryst_n be_v divide_v first_o into_o the_o congregation_n of_o they_o which_o have_v finish_v the_o course_n of_o this_o their_o life_n and_o pass_v over_o all_o corruptible_a thing_n do_v now_o rejoice_v with_o christ_n their_o head_n in_o heaven_n &_o praise_n god_n for_o evermore_o second_o it_o be_v divide_v into_o the_o congregation_n of_o those_o which_o do_v yet_o live_v here_o on_o this_o earth_n in_o daily_a battle_n in_o the_o church_n of_o chryst_n and_o have_v this_o hope_n that_o at_o the_o time_n appoint_v by_o god_n they_o shall_v come_v to_o chryst_n their_o head_n and_o the_o fellowship_n of_o their_o elect_a brethren_n and_o in_o this_o congregation_n there_o be_v some_o which_o have_v true_a faith_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o lively_a member_n of_o the_o church_n under_o their_o head_n christ_n some_o lack_n that_o lively_a faith_n and_o therefore_o be_v hypocrite_n church_n be_v yet_o number_v in_o the_o visible_a church_n so_o long_o as_o their_o wickedness_n spring_v not_o forth_o nor_o they_o bewray_v themselves_o touch_v these_o s_o john_n write_v 2._o thus_o they_o go_v out_o from_o we_o by_o this_o it_o appear_v they_o be_v reckon_v in_o the_o church_n for_o else_o can_v they_o not_o have_v go_v out_o then●e_a but_o they_o be_v not_o of_o we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o be_v not_o the_o lively_a member_n of_o the_o church_n &_o true_a believer_n for_o if_o they_o have_v be_v of_o we_o they_o will_v have_v remain_v with_o us._n and_o hereupon_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o many_o divide_v the_o church_n into_o the_o inward_a and_o invisible_a and_o into_o the_o outward_a and_o visible_a church_n yea_o furthermore_o it_o be_v divide_v into_o the_o congregation_n of_o those_o which_o have_v live_v from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n unto_o the_o come_n of_o

of_o the_o patriarch_n prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o that_o through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o oftentimes_o god_n speak_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n say_v behold_v i_o be_o always_o with_o you_o i_o will_v guide_v and_o defend_v you_o etc_n etc_n and_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n our_o lord_n christ_n say_v behold_v i_o be_o with_o you_o for_o ever_o until_o 14_o the_o end_n of_o the_o

name_n there_o be_o i_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o but_o the_o purpose_n of_o question_n this_o question_n be_v to_o bring_v the_o godly_a and_o simple_a into_o perplexity_n and_o doubt_n for_o when_o they_o confess_v that_o god_n govern_v his_o church_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n forthwith_o the_o popish_a bishop_n conclude_v thereof_o that_o the_o church_n neither_o have_v nor_o can_v err_v and_o hereby_o they_o suppose_v that_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v to_o wit_n that_o what_o soever_o they_o under_o the_o title_n and_o name_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v thrust_v upon_o man_n be_v both_o good_a and_o inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o unto_o these_o mate_n we_o answer_v first_o that_o we_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v that_o church_n whereof_o they_o brag_v to_o be_v the_o true_a primative_a apostolic_a church_n as_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v prove_v second_o we_o d●●_n not_o confess_v that_o the_o err_v church_n can_v not_o altogether_o or_o in_o all_o point_n err_v for_o so_o long_o as_o she_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o only_o harken_v unto_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o by_o his_o motion_n and_o word_n she_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v err_v but_o if_o she_o swerve_v at_o any_o time_n from_o the_o government_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o govern_v after_o her_o own_o lust_n then_o true_o she_o not_o only_o may_v but_o also_o do_v err_v but_o if_o any_o will_v ask_v whether_o the_o church_n may_v swerve_v from_o the_o direction_n of_o god_n spirit_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v evident_a and_o may_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v deny_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n here_o upon_o this_o earth_n often_o time_n under_o moses_n the_o judge_n and_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o juda_n have_v err_v yea_o and_o that_o the_o disciple_n of_o chryst_n who_o yet_o nevertheless_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n do_v err_v and_o have_v their_o fall_n for_o who_o be_v ignorant_a what_o happen_v to_o david_n aaron_n peter_n and_o other_o the_o holy_a saint_n and_o disciple_n of_o chryst_n yea_o we_o must_v note_v that_o the_o church_n be_v gather_v not_o of_o angel_n but_o of_o man_n wherefore_o although_o it_o be_v inspire_v and_o govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o thereby_o turn_v into_o the_o spirit_n for_o it_o keep_v still_o her_o flesh_n and_o the_o infirmity_n thereof_o yea_o even_o unto_o death_n who_o be_v ignorant_a of_o those_o write_n which_o saint_n paul_n have_v general_o utter_v touch_v the_o battle_n between_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o not_o in_o the_o ungodly_a and_o unbeléever_v only_o which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o church_n but_o even_o in_o the_o faithful_a also_o and_o member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o this_o battle_n be_v so_o

to_o do_v read_v s._n paul_n five_o chapter_n to_o the_o galatian_n &_o also_o the_o seven_o to_o the_o roman_n yet_o nevertheless_o the_o same_o apostle_n call_v the_o galatian_n and_o corinthian_n 1._o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n as_o purify_v by_o his_o blood_n and_o govern_v by_o his_o
