earth_n why_o then_o be_v man_n command_v to_o work_v out_o their_o own_o salvation_n if_o the_o work_n be_v already_o do_v what_o need_v the_o debtor_n be_v exhort_v to_o pay_v if_o the_o surety_n have_v already_o pay_v for_o he_o 1._o the_o apostle_n mean_v in_o exhort_v man_n to_o work_v out_o their_o salvation_n be_v this_o that_o they_o shall_v persevere_v in_o the_o way_n they_o do_v

persevere_v work_n second_o when_o man_n be_v call_v to_o do_v or_o to_o work_v they_o be_v not_o call_v to_o do_v that_o they_o may_v have_v life_n or_o be_v justify_v but_o man_n be_v call_v to_o

may_v have_v it_o for_o the_o lord_n never_o in_o the_o scripture_n make_v work_v the_o cause_n of_o justification_n or_o the_o cause_n of_o salvation_n no_o it_o be_v a_o subsequent_a and_o a_o effect_n and_o that_o which_o follow_v a_o man_n justification_n or_o that_o which_o flow_v from_o a_o justify_v person_n for_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o work_n as_o they_o be_v do_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n work_n when_o they_o be_v do_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n they_o be_v do_v to_o seek_v justification_n &_o

work_n as_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n require_v work_n either_o upon_o pain_n of_o damnation_n or_o upon_o promise_n of_o salvation_n this_o be_v to_o be_v shun_v by_o christian_n 2_o object_n the_o second_o objection_n it_o be_v true_a as_o you_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v glorify_v the_o father_n and_o finish_v the_o work_n of_o man_n redemption_n and_o salvation_n but_o you_o
