man_n rashlye_a and_o ungodlye_a judge_n of_o good_a work_n and_o so_o purchase_v himself_o to_o have_v not_o good_a but_o rather_o evel_a merit_n these_o term_n reward_n or_o merit_n try_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o expound_v how_o large_o they_o be_v to_o be_v extend_v the._n 17._o chapter_n merit_n or_o deserve_n as_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o y_z e_z school_n be_v not_o where_o find_v in_o holy_a scripture_n and_o yet_o there_o in_o be_v oft_o mention_v make_v of_o the_o reward_n the_o scripture_n in_o this_o follow_v our_o manner_n and_o fashion_n of_o speak_v and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o unto_o such_o as_o be_v our_o friend_n or_o that_o have_v well_o deserve_v it_o at_o our_o hand_n we_o geve_v reward_n &_o gift_n as_o a_o hire_n or_o wagy_n therefore_o after_o like_a manner_n of_o speech_n be_v it_o say_v that_o god_n geve_v his_o friend_n eternal_a life_n to_o a_o reward_n for_o their_o noble_a and_o excellent_a dede_n &_o merit_n for_o thus_o we_o read_v in_o esaie_n o_o happy_a be_v the_o rightuous_a for_o they_o may_v enjoy_v y_z e_o fruit_n of_o their_o devyce_n but_o woe_n unto_o the_o ungodlye_a and_o unjust_a for_o he_o be_v recompense_v acordinge_v to_o his_o dede_n in_o the_o gospel_n the_o lord_n say_v bless_a be_v you_o when_o man_n revyle_v you_o and_o persecute_v you_o speak_v all_o manner_n of_o evel_n against_o you_o &_o belie_v you_o for_o my_o sake_n rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a for_o great_a be_v your_o reward_n in_o heaven_n the_o apostle_n paul_n also_o say_v every_o one_o shall_v receive_v his_o reward_n according_a to_o his_o labour_n but_o herein_o must_v not_o the_o word_n reward_n be_v violent_o force_v as_o if_o aught_o be_v we_o for_o even_o our_o merit_n themselves_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o gift_n of_o god_n therefore_o like_a as_o holy_a augustine_n in_o other_o doctrynes_n of_o our_o faith_n do_v every_o where_n observe_v and_o teach_v y_z e_o universal_a mind_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o right_n canonical_a

very_o diligent_a conference_n of_o the_o scripture_n he_o defend_v the_o same_o and_o say_v thus_o john_n the_o forerunner_n of_o our_o lord_n say_v a_o man_n can_v receive_v nothing_o except_o it_o be_v give_v he_o from_o above_o now_o if_o thy_o good_a work_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n then_o do_v god_n crown_v thy_o merit_n not_o as_o thy_o merit_n but_o as_o his_o own_o gift_n now_o let_v we_o considere_fw-la the_o merit_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n that_o be_v whether_o he_o obtain_v they_o of_o himself_o or_o whether_o they_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n he_o say_v i_o have_v fight_v a_o good_a fight_n i_o have_v end_v my_o course_n i_o have_v keep_v faith_n first_o if_o good_a thought_n have_v not_o go_v before_o these_o good_a dede_n they_o shall_v they_o be_v no_o good_a dede_n mark_v therefore_o what_o he_o say_v of_o the_o same_o thought_n not_o that_o we_o be_v able_a of_o ourselves_o to_o think_v eny_z good_a thing_n as_o of_o ourselves_o but_o all_o our_o ability_n be_v of_o god_n let_v we_o then_o behold_v every_o thing_n several_a he_o say_v i_o have_v fight_v a_o good_a fight_n here_o i_o demand_v with_o what_o strength_n fight_v he_o with_o it_o that_o he_o have_v of_o himself_o or_o with_o it_o that_o be_v give_v he_o from_o above_o but_o god_n forbid_v that_o such_o a_o excellent_a teacher_n of_o the_o heithen_a shall_v not_o have_v know_v the_o law_n of_o god_n who_o voice_n and_o word_n stand_v in_o deuteronomie_n thou_o shall_v not_o say_v in_o thy_o heart_n my_o strength_n and_o the_o power_n of_o my_o hand_n be_v able_a to_o bring_v this_o to_o pass_v but_o remember_v thou_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o geve_v the_o strength_n and_o power_n to_o do_v it_o and_o what_o profit_v a_o good_a battle_n if_o the_o victory_n follow_v not_o after_o and_o who_o geve_v the_o victory_n but_o even_o he_o of_o who_o he_o say_v god_n be_v thank_v which_o have_v give_v we_o the_o victory_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o another_o place_n when_o he_o have_v recite_v the_o testymony_n out_o of_o the_o psalm_n for_o thy_o sake_n be_v we_o put_v to_o death_n all_o the_o day_n long_o we_o be_v count_v as_o sheep_n appoint_v to_o be_v slay_v he_o add_v thereto_o and_o say_v but_o in_o all_o this_o we_o overcome_v for_o his_o sake_n y_o it_o love_v us._n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o by_o ourselves_o that_o we_o overcome_v but_o by_o he_o which_o have_v love_v us._n and_o afterward_o he_o say_v i_o have_v end_v my_o course_n this_o speak_v he_o y_z t_z say_v in_o another_o place_n it_o lie_v not_o in_o eny_z man_n will_n or_o run_v but_z in_z y_z e_z mercy_n of_o god_n which_o meaning_n may_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v pervert_v as_o to_o say_v that_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o in_o every_o man_n will_n or_o run_v for_o whosoever_o dare_v say_v so_o declare_v evident_o that_o he_o speak_v against_o the_o apostle_n final_o he_o say_v i_o have_v keep_v y_o e_o faith_n this_o speak_v even_o he_o which_o in_o another_o place_n say_v mercy_n have_v i_o obtain_v y_z t_z i_o shall_v be_v faithful_a he_o say_v not_o i_o obtain_v mercy_n because_o i_o be_v faithful_a but_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v faithful_a by_o this_o they_o declare_v he_o that_o faith_n can_v not_o be_v have_v except_o god_n be_v merciful_a and_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o thing_n he_o tech_v very_o evident_o and_o say_v by_o grace_n be_v you_o save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o but_o it_o be_v y_z e_z gift_n of_o god_n for_o they_o may_v say_v therefore_o have_v we_o receive_v grace_n because_o we_o beleve_v ascrybinge_v so_o faith_n to_o themselves_o and_o the_o grace_n unto_o god_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o have_v say_v through_o faith_n he_o say_v and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o but_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n again_o to_o the_o intent_n they_o shall_v not_o say_v that_o with_o their_o work_n they_o have_v merit_v such_o a_o gift_n and_o reward_n he_o add_v there_o unto_o immediate_o not_o of_o work_n lest_o eny_z man_n shall_v boast_v himself_o not_o that_o he_o deni_v or_o minish_v good_a work_n for_o he_o say_v god_n shall_v reward_v every_o one_o accord_v to_o his_o work_n but_o because_o that_o work_n proceade_v out_o of_o faith_n &_o not_o faith_n out_o of_o work_n and_o therefore_o have_v we_o the_o work_n of_o rightuousnes_n even_o of_o he_o of_o who_o faith_n itself_o come_v the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n out_o of_o s._n austin_n word_n by_o word_n have_v i_o allege_v all_o this_o which_o doubtless_o so_o perfect_o comprehend_v and_o so_o constaunt_o with_o scripture_n prove_v &_o set_v forth_o what_o so_o ever_o may_v be_v say_v of_o y_z e_z merit_n of_o good_a work_n that_o i_o suppose_v there_o can_v nomore_o be_v speak_v thereto_o for_o what_o can_v be_v more_o brefelye_o more_o syncerly_a &_o more_o perfect_o speak_v then_o that_o unto_o good_a work_n there_o be_v prepare_v a_o reward_n and_o that_o the_o sane_a be_v nothing_o else_o but_o grace_n yea_o the_o merit_n of_o saint_n be_v god_n gift_n which_o when_o god_n crow_v he_o crow_v his_o own_o gift_n in_o all_o this_o therefore_o stand_v sure_o the_o perpetual_a unfayling_a and_o universal_a doctrine_n that_o they_o which_o believe_v be_v justify_v and_o save_v by_o only_a faith_n or_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o rule_n of_o good_a work_n to_o measure_v they_o by_o that_o they_o may_v be_v good_a in_o deed_n and_o not_o of_o our_o own_o good_a intent_n and_o brain_n only_o the._n 18._o chapter_n wherefore_o now_o come_v we_o again_o to_o good_a work_n which_o if_o they_o proceade_v not_o out_o of_o god_n by_o faith_n they_o may_v not_o be_v name_v good_a but_o if_o they_o spring_v out_o of_o god_n through_o faith_n then_o be_v they_o order_v according_a to_o y_z e_z rule_n of_o god_n word_n in_o y_fw-fr e_o description_n therefore_o of_o good_a work_n i_o
