some_o corruption_n of_o the_o flesh_n oppose_v the_o desire_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v confess_v that_o we_o do_v good_a work_n after_o we_o have_v receive_v grace_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o their_o doctrine_n be_v false_a as_o i_o prove_v it_o by_o this_o argument_n if_o we_o do_v good_a work_n after_o we_o be_v receive_v into_o grace_n then_o it_o follow_v that_o our_o work_n do_v not_o dispose_v we_o to_o obtain_v that_o grace_n which_o we_o have_v already_o and_o without_o which_o we_o can_v apply_v ourselves_o to_o good_a work_n but_o the_o

that_o which_o our_o adversary_n teach_v concerning_o satisfaction_n be_v that_o god_n release_v unto_o the_o sinner_n all_o the_o guilt_n and_o forgive_v he_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n due_a unto_o it_o but_o that_o he_o will_v have_v it_o turn_v into_o a_o temporal_a punishment_n allege_v that_o if_o in_o our_o justification_n nothing_o be_v find_v but_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n it_o will_v be_v perfect_a mercy_n but_o that_o there_o be_v some_o other_o thing_n whereby_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n appear_v to_o be_v short_a the_o doctrine_n of_o these_o doctor_n be_v that_o god_n for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o justice_n will_v have_v the_o justify_a sinner_n to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n for_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n of_o his_o sin_n otherwise_o his_o justice_n be_v not_o satisfy_v answer_n it_o be_v a_o old_a wile_n of_o satan_n which_o he_o have_v always_o practise_v by_o his_o false_a prophet_n to_o smother_v and_o bury_v as_o much_o as_o in_o
