he_o mean_v such_o work_n as_o be_v suppose_v to_o justify_v by_o their_o own_o merit_n and_o which_o put_v we_o out_o of_o need_n of_o grace_n but_o he_o know_v that_o justification_n be_v not_o

it_o be_v true_a abraham_n can_v not_o pretend_v to_o a_o sinless_a perfection_n he_o have_v no_o such_o work_n to_o plead_v as_o be_v god_n justice-proof_n he_o have_v no_o such_o righteousness_n

therefore_o be_v a_o believe_v the_o revelation_n of_o the_o messiâ—h_n to_o come_v and_o of_o pardon_n and_o salvation_n obtainable_a by_o he_o and_o act_v suitable_o thereunto_o by_o a_o sincere_a though_o imperfect_a obedience_n this_o god_n do_v impute_v and_o account_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n therefore_o paul_n never_o intend_v to_o exclude_v gospel_n work_n or_o such_o a_o sincere_a

such_o work_n as_o be_v depend_v on_o and_o by_o virtue_n of_o which_o man_n pretend_v to_o claim_v justification_n as_o a_o reward_n just_o due_a to_o they_o in_o opposition_n to_o free_a grace_n now_o this_o gospel_n justification_n we_o have_v describe_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v such_o a_o justification_n by_o work_n as_o the_o jew_n seek_v after_o and_o st._n paul_n dispute_v against_o

can_v be_v claim_v as_o a_o debt_n be_v utter_o exclude_v thereby_o abraham_n be_v not_o justify_v upon_o the_o term_n of_o the_o law_n viz._n sinless_a perfection_n but_o he_o be_v justify_v as_o one_o that_o have_v sin_n and_o fail_n about_o he_o which_o need_v forgiveness_n and_o so_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o the_o gospel-way_n but_o it_o be_v by_o a_o operative_a faith_n which_o be_v productive_a of_o good_a work_n which_o work_n be_v not_o such_o as_o by_o any_o innate_a virtue_n in_o themselves_o do_v constitute_v he_o just_a but_o be_v the_o fruit_n and_o genuine_a
