to_o righteousness_n and_o from_o death_n to_o life_n therefore_o these_o two_o thing_n as_o i_o do_v often_o repeat_v to_o wit_n the_o law_n and_o the_o promise_n must_v be_v diligent_o distinguish_v

by_o these_o word_n paul_n signify_v that_o no_o law_n of_o itself_o be_v able_a to_o quicken_v or_o geve_v life_n kill_v but_o only_o kill_v therefore_o such_o work_n as_o be_v do_v not_o only_o according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o tradition_n of_o the_o pope_n but_o also_o according_a to_o the_o very_a law_n of_o god_n do_v not_o justify_v a_o man_n before_o god_n but_o make_v he_o a_o

and_o he_o except_v no_o law_n wherefore_o this_o gloze_n of_o the_o papist_n be_v not_o worth_a a_o rush_n for_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ceremony_n be_v as_o well_o command_v of_o god_n and_o as_o

the_o opinion_n of_o all_o man_n law_n for_o natural_o they_o can_v judge_v no_o otherwise_o of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o it_o be_v give_v to_o work_v righteousness_n &_o to_o geve_v life_n &_o

the_o state_n &_o condition_n of_o life_n nor_o of_o the_o difference_n of_o spirit_n now_o therefore_o after_o that_o paul_n have_v prosecute_v his_o confutation_n and_o argument_n sufficient_o and_o in_o good_a order_n he_o teach_v that_o the_o law_n if_o you_o consider_v his_o true_a and_o perfect_a use_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o as_o a_o certain_a schoolmaster_n to_o lead_v we_o unto_o

when_o it_o make_v they_o guilty_a terrify_v and_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n wrath_n death_n and_o hell_n for_o when_o it_o have_v do_v this_o the_o opinion_n of_o man_n own_o

but_o rather_o confirm_v they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o do_v not_o accomplish_v the_o promise_n nor_o bring_v righteousness_n notwithstanding_o it_o humble_v we_o with_o his_o exercise_n and_o

then_o under_o the_o law_n must_v not_o always_o endure_v but_o must_v only_o continue_v to_o the_o come_n or_o reveal_v of_o faith_n which_o this_o sweet_a verse_n of_o the_o psalm_n 147._o do_v

of_o our_o neighbour_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o may_v be_v righteous_a in_o this_o life_n also_o 1â—_o we_o have_v christ_n the_o mercy_n seat_n and_o throne_n of_o

it_o be_v a_o great_a error_n therefore_o to_o attribute_v justification_n or_o righteousness_n to_o love_n which_o be_v nothing_o or_o if_o it_o be_v any_o thing_n god._n yet_o be_v it_o not_o so_o

sin_n be_v true_o sin_n whether_o a_o man_n commit_v it_o before_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n or_o after_o and_o god_n always_o hate_v sin_n yea_o all_o sin_n be_v

because_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o believer_n be_v less_o and_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o unbeliever_n great_a but_o for_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o person_n for_o the_o faithful_a assure_v himself_o by_o faith_n that_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v he_o for_o as_o much_o as_o christ_n have_v give_v himself_o for_o it_o therefore_o although_o he_o have_v sin_n in_o he_o and_o daily_o sin_v yet_o he_o continue_v godly_a but_o contrariwise_o the_o unbeliever_n continue_v wicked_a godly_a and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a wisdom_n and_o consolation_n of_o the_o godly_a that_o although_o they_o have_v and_o commit_v sin_n yet_o they_o know_v that_o for_o christ_n sake_n they_o be_v not_o impute_v unto_o they_o this_o i_o say_v for_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o godly_a sin_n for_o they_o only_o feel_v in_o deed_n that_o they_o have_v and_o do_v commit_v sin_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o feel_v that_o they_o do_v not_o love_n god_n so_o fervent_o as_o they_o shall_v do_v that_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v he_o so_o hearty_o as_o they_o will_v but_o rather_o they_o oftentimes_o doubt_v whether_o god_n have_v a_o care_n of_o they_o or_o no_o they_o be_v impatient_a and_o be_v angry_a with_o god_n in_o adversity_n hereof_o as_o i_o have_v say_v proceed_v the_o sorrowful_a complaint_n of_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o scripture_n and_o special_o in_o the_o psalm_n and_o paul_n himself_o complain_v that_o he_o be_v sell_v under_o sin_n and_o here_o he_o say_v 1.14_o that_o the_o flesh_n resist_v &_o rebel_v against_o the_o spirit_n but_o because_o they_o mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o that_o flesh_n by_o the_o spirit_n as_o he_o say_v in_o a_o other_o place_n &_o also_o in_o the_o end_n of_o this_o chapter_n they_o crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o desire_n and_o lust_n thereof_o 5.24_o therefore_o these_o sin_n do_v not_o hurt_v they_o nor_o condemn_v they_o but_o if_o they_o obey_v the_o flesh_n in_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n thereof_o then_o do_v they_o lose_v faith_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o abhor_v their_o sin_n and_o return_v unto_o christ_n who_o have_v give_v power_n to_o his_o church_n to_o receive_v and_o raise_v up_o those_o that_o be_v fall_v that_o so_o they_o may_v recover_v faith_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o die_v in_o their_o sin_n wherefore_o we_o speak_v not_o of_o they_o which_o dream_n that_o they_o have_v faith_n and_o
contrary_n but_o set_v the_o word_n out_o of_o sight_n and_o there_o be_v no_o counsel_n nor_o help_v remain_v of_o this_o that_o i_o say_v luther_n i_o myself_o have_v good_a experience_n i_o have_v suffer_v many_o great_a passion_n and_o the_o same_o also_o very_o vehement_a and_o great_a but_o so_o soon_o as_o i_o lay_v hold_v of_o any_o place_n of_o scripture_n and_o stay_v myself_o upon_o it_o as_o upon_o my_o chief_n ankerhold_v straight_o way_n my_o tentation_n do_v vanish_v away_o which_o without_o the_o word_n it_o have_v be_v unpossible_a for_o i_o to_o endure_v any_o little_a

the_o spirit_n will_v glad_o be_v altogether_o pure_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v join_v unto_o the_o spirit_n will_v not_o suffer_v that_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v save_v by_o the_o remission_n

this_o manner_n of_o speech_n which_o
