sola_fw-la fides_fw-la iustâ—ficat_fw-la faith_n alone_o justifi_v do_v not_o sola_fw-la fides_fw-la in_o the_o latyn_a tongue_n signify_v rather_o faith_n alone_o or_o a_o only_a faith_n than_o faith_n only_o which_o in_o the_o latyn_n be_v express_v rather_o by_o the_o adverbe_n fides_fw-la folùm_fw-la vel_fw-la solummodòâ—_n and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a as_o all_o gramer_n and_o lexicon_n will_v teach_v you_o that_o it_o be_v then_o be_v your_o distinction_n whereby_o you_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o say_v only_o and_o not_o by_o a_o only_o say_v not_o only_o vain_a but_o

contradiction_n in_o your_o own_o word_n but_o now_o if_o we_o go_v to_o the_o substance_n itself_o of_o the_o controversy_n wherein_o some_o late_a protestant_n also_o do_v hold_v that_o good_a

this_o controversy_n the_o disagree_v of_o lutheran_n &_o caluenist_n about_o this_o controversy_n that_o whereas_o luther_n the_o first_o founder_n of_o the_o proposition_n only_a faith_n justifi_v so_o defend_v the_o same_o as_o he_o not_o only_o exclude_v but_o detest_v and_o abhor_v both_o the_o concurrence_n &_o presence_n of_o any_o good_a work_n towards_o a_o man_n salvation_n some_o

in_o many_o other_o have_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o mitigate_v the_o matter_n and_o to_o say_v that_o albeyt_v good_a work_n can_v help_v nothing_o indeed_o in_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n and_o consequent_o also_o neither_o to_o salvation_n yet_o they_o be_v necessary_a as_o fruit_n and_o so_o necessary_a as_o that_o no_o salvation_n can_v be_v without_o they_o wherein_o though_o in_o
