they_o heat_n and_o light_n can_v be_v saperate_v from_o the_o fire_n and_o we_o say_v with_o s._n john_n in_o his_o first_o canonical_a epistell_n that_o he_o that_o say_v he_o know_v god_n and_o keep_v not_o his_o commaundamente_n lie_v and_o no_o truth_n be_v in_o he_o but_o concern_v this_o purpose_n we_o confess_v plain_o that_o we_o disagree_v in_o three_o principal_a point_n the_o first_o touch_v the_o beginning_n &_o the_o spring_n from_o the_o which_o good_a work_n do_v proceed_v the_o second_o what_o work_n be_v good_a work_n the_o three_o to_o what_o respect_n they_o be_v good_a touchinge_v the_o first_o we_o find_v none_o other_o free_a will_n in_o man_n but_o that_o which_o receive_v freedom_n by_o the_o only_a grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o say_v that_o our_o nature_n be_v in_o the_o state_n which_o it_o be_v fall_v into_o need_v before_o all_o other_o thing_n not_o to_o be_v aid_v and_o uphold_v but_o to_o be_v mortify_v and_o kill_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o so_o much_o as_o his_o grace_n find_v it_o not_o only_o wound_v &_o much_o weaken_v but_o altogether_o destitute_a of_o force_n and_o repugn_v to_o all_o good_a yea_o dead_a &_o rot_a in_o sin_n and_o corruption_n and_o therefore_o do_v we_o not_o to_o he_o so_o much_o dishonour_n as_o to_o make_v ourselves_o partner_n with_o he_o to_o who_o grace_n and_o mercy_n work_v in_o we_o be_v to_o be_v give_v the_o begin_v the_o middle_a and_o the_o end_n of_o our_o good_a work_n touch_v the_o second_o point_n we_o do_v not_o receive_v any_o other_o rule_n of_o justice_n and_o obedience_n before_o god_n but_o his_o commandment_n as_o they_o be_v write_v and_o register_v in_o his_o holy_a word_n to_o the_o which_o we_o do_v not_o take_v it_o lawful_a for_o any_o man_n to_o add_v or_o diminish_v to_o bind_v therewith_o man_n conscience_n touchinge_v the_o third_o point_n to_o wit_n in_o what_o respect_n they_o be_v good_a our_o belief_n be_v that_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v in_o we_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v call_v good_a for_o that_o they_o issue_n from_o so_o good_a a_o spring_n and_o yet_o if_o god_n shall_v examine_v they_o rigorous_o there_o will_v be_v ●ounde_v matter_n enough_o and_o enough_o ●o_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o they_o we_o say_v further_o that_o they_o be_v good_a in_o another_o respect_n that_o be_v ●o_o say_v forsomuche_o as_o god_n be_v by_o they_o glorify_v man_n be_v draw_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o and_o we_o all_o be_v assure_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v in_o we_o which_o be_v know_v by_o his_o effect_n that_o we_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o elect_a and_o of_o they_o that_o be_v predestinate_v to_o salvation_n but_o if_o a_o question_n be_v move_v by_o what_o title_n everlasting_a life_n do_v appertain_v unto_o we_o we_o say_v with_o s._n paul_n that_o it_o be_v a_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n and_o no_o recompense_n any_o way_n due_a unto_o our_o merit_n for_o jesus_n christ_n in_o this_o behalf_n instifi_v we_o by_o his_o only_a justice_n be_v impart_v to_o we_o sanctifi_v we_o by_o his_o only_a

by_o the_o grace_n only_o and_o liberality_n of_o god_n all_o those_o treasure_n be_v communicate_v to_o we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n usinge_v for_o that_o effect_n the_o preachinge_a of_o the_o gospel_n of_o god_n and_o the_o administration_n of_o his_o holy_a sacrament_n not_o for_o that_o he_o need_v any_o such_o matter_n for_o the_o put_n in_o ure_n of_o his_o say_a power_n he_o be_v almighty_a but_o for_o that_o it_o please_v he_o to_o be_v serve_v with_o these_o ordinary_a mean_n to_o breed_v and_o nourish_v in_o we_o the_o precious_a gift_n of_o faith_n

and_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v declare_v what_o we_o do_v admit_v for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o admit_v nothing_o but_o the_o doctrine_n write_v in_o the_o holy_a prophet_n and_o the_o
