have_v recite_v these_o word_n the_o more_o full_o that_o you_o may_v clear_o see_v what_o be_v the_o doctrine_n and_o language_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o this_o i_o hope_v we_o all_o take_v to_o be_v good_a doctrine_n for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v it_o be_v i_o may_v add_v if_o it_o be_v necessary_a a_o great_a deal_n more_o as_o that_o where_o it_o tell_v we_o that_o man_n can_v make_v himself_o righteous_a by_o his_o own_o work_n neither_o in_o part_n nor_o in_o whole_a for_o that_o be_v the_o great_a arrogancy_n and_o presumption_n of_o man_n that_o antichrist_n can_v set_v up_o against_o god_n to_o affirm_v that_o a_o man_n may_v by_o his_o own_o work_n take_v away_o and_o purge_v his_o own_o sin_n and_o so_o justify_v himself_o but_o justification_n be_v the_o office_n of_o god_n only_o and_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n which_o we_o render_v unto_o he_o but_o which_o we_o receive_v of_o he_o by_o his_o free_a mercy_n and_o by_o the_o only_a merit_n of_o his_o most_o dear_o belove_v son_n and_o our_o only_a redeemer_n saviour_n and_o justifier_n jesus_n christ._n but_o i_o leave_v those_o who_o will_v see_v more_o of_o it_o to_o seek_v it_o in_o the_o first_o second_o and_o three_o part_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o salvation_n the_o first_o second_o and_o three_o part_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o first_o second_o and_o three_o part_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o good_a work_n and_o indeed_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n will_v not_o bear_v it_o that_o any_o work_n of_o our_o own_o shall_v even_o in_o part_n justify_v we_o for_o justification_n be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n remit_v our_o sin_n for_o the_o ransom_n and_o satisfaction_n make_v to_o his_o justice_n it_o can_v be_v that_o any_o thing_n which_o we_o can_v now_o do_v can_v be_v any_o part_n of_o such_o ransom_n or_o satisfaction_n for_o all_o that_o we_o can_v do_v be_v but_o part_n of_o what_o be_v due_a for_o the_o present_a 17.10_o as_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n we_o have_v do_v but_o what_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v and_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o surplusage_n which_o may_v accrue_v towards_o satisfaction_n for_o what_o be_v past_a like_a as_o a_o tenant_n who_o be_v run_v deep_a in_o arrear_n of_o rent_n can_v by_o pay_v part_n of_o the_o grow_v rend_v for_o the_o future_a make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o arrear_n already_o incur_v for_o this_o grow_a rent_n be_v due_a also_o if_o it_o be_v say_v as_o perhaps_o it_o may_v that_o on_o this_o account_n we_o must_v renounce_v our_o faith_n also_o for_o neither_o do_v faith_n satisfy_v god_n justice_n or_o deserve_v our_o justification_n i_o say_v so_o too_o that_o faith_n as_o a_o grace_n or_o faith_n as_o a_o work_n do_v not_o justify_v we_o but_o only_o as_o by_o it_o we_o embrace_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o righteousness_n alone_o so_o embrace_v we_o can_v be_v justify_v and_o i_o say_v so_o the_o rather_o because_o our_o church_n say_v so_o too_o in_o these_o word_n the_o true_a understanding_n of_o this_o doctrine_n we_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o faith_n without_o work_n or_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n only_o be_v not_o that_o this_o our_o own_o act_n to_o believe_v in_o christ_n or_o this_o our_o faith_n in_o christ_n which_o be_v within_o we_o do_v justify_v we_o for_o that_o be_v to_o count_v ourselves_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o some_o act_n or_o virtue_n that_o be_v within_o ourselves_o but_o the_o true_a meaning_n thereof_o be_v that_o although_o we_o hear_v god_n word_n and_o believe_v it_o although_o we_o have_v faith_n hope_n charity_n repentance_n dread_a and_o fear_v of_o god_n within_o we_o and_o do_v never_o so_o many_o work_v thereunto_o yet_o we_o must_v renounce_v the_o merit_n of_o all_o our_o say_a virtue_n of_o faith_n hope_n charity_n and_o all_o other_o virtue_n and_o good_a deed_n which_o we_o either_o have_v do_v shall_v do_v or_o can_v do_v as_o thing_n that_o be_v far_o too_o weak_a and_o insufficient_a and_o unperfect_a to_o deserve_v remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o our_o justification_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v trust_v only_o in_o god_n mercy_n and_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o our_o highpriest_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n once_o offer_v for_o we_o on_o the_o cross_n to_o obtain_v thereby_o god_n grace_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n original_a and_o actual_a and_o as_o great_a and_o as_o godly_a a_o virtue_n as_o the_o lively_a faith_n be_v yet_o it_o put_v we_o from_o itself_o and_o remit_v or_o appoint_v we_o unto_o christ_n for_o to_o have_v only_o by_o he_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n so_o that_o our_o faith_n in_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o thus_o it_o be_v not_o i_o that_o take_v away_o your_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v christ_n only_o and_o to_o he_o only_o i_o send_v you_o for_o that_o purpose_n forsake_v therein_o all_o your_o good_a virtue_n word_n thought_n and_o work_n and_o only_o put_v your_o trust_n in_o christ._n nevertheless_o because_o faith_n do_v direct_o send_v we_o to_o christ_n for_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o by_o faith_n give_v we_o of_o god_n we_o embrace_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n which_o thing_n no_o other_o of_o our_o virtue_n or_o work_n proper_o do_v therefore_o scripture_n use_v to_o say_v that_o faith_n without_o work_n do_v justify_v so_o that_o according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n neither_o our_o other_o work_n and_o grace_n nor_o even_o faith_n itself_o as_o a_o work_n or_o as_o a_o habit_n or_o grace_n in_o we_o do_v justify_v we_o but_o only_o as_o it_o accept_v and_o embrace_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n for_o which_o alone_o our_o sin_n be_v remit_v and_o we_o justify_v not_o for_o any_o thing_n do_v by_o we_o which_o accept_n or_o embrace_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o salvation_n by_o christ_n therein_o offer_v be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n assent_v to_o a_o truth_n for_o thus_o the_o devil_n believe_v and_o wicked_a man_n as_o a_o act_n of_o the_o will_n accept_n of_o it_o and_o consent_v to_o it_o and_o trust_v in_o it_o which_o the_o devil_n and_o wicked_a man_n have_v not_o this_o be_v the_o language_n of_o our_o church_n i_o will_v not_o willing_o depart_v from_o it_o or_o gratify_v the_o papist_n so_o far_a as_o to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o reproach_v our_o church_n as_o decry_v good_a work_n because_o we_o say_v we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o they_o if_o any_o shall_v yet_o say_v that_o when_o they_o affirm_v we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o faith_n only_o but_o by_o work_n also_o they_o mean_v not_o that_o either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o do_v merit_n god_n favour_n and_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o only_o that_o both_o faith_n and_o work_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o party_n justify_v and_o that_o by_o justification_n they_o mean_v all_o that_o be_v require_v to_o make_v one_o a_o good_a man_n and_o one_o qualify_v for_o heaven_n and_o salvation_n which_o can_v be_v without_o these_o i_o say_v the_o meaning_n be_v good_a but_o so_o to_o speak_v be_v not_o to_o speak_v distinct_o and_o like_o a_o scholar_n but_o to_o speak_v confuse_o and_o to_o jumble_v together_o those_o thing_n which_o in_o themselves_o be_v very_o distinct._n for_o in_o order_n to_o salvation_n there_o be_v many_o other_o thing_n
