tally_v upon_o a_o pair_n of_o bead_n that_o be_v presensent_v to_o saint_n image_n and_o idol_n but_o the_o work_n of_o darkness_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o damnation_n all_o such_o religion_n where_o god_n be_v worship_v without_o his_o word_n and_o commandment_n be_v idolatry_n and_o the_o more_o holy_a it_o seem_v in_o outward_a show_n so_o much_o the_o more_o dangerous_a this_o abstinency_n of_o the_o papist_n in_o forbear_v of_o flesh_n and_o eat_v of_o fish_n their_o pray_v upon_o bead_n their_o worship_v of_o saint_n their_o vow_n their_o pilgrimage_n be_v all_o idolatry_n we_o do_v not_o reject_v fast_v and_o other_o good_a exercise_n as_o thing_n unnecessary_a but_o we_o say_v that_o by_o these_o exercise_n we_o do_v not_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o hereupon_o the_o papist_n both_o ignorant_o do_v judge_v and_o slanderous_o do_v report_n that_o we_o speak_v against_o good_a work_n whether_o thou_o eat_v or_o not_o eat_v thou_o be_v neither_o better_o nor_o worse_o say_v the_o apostle_n now_o if_o any_o man_n will_v say_v if_o thou_o eat_v thou_o sin_v or_o if_o thou_o abstain_v thou_o be_v righteous_a he_o shall_v but_o show_v his_o ignorance_n it_o be_v a_o small_a matter_n to_o eat_v or_o not_o to_o eat_v but_o when_o a_o man_n do_v believe_v that_o in_o abstain_v he_o merit_v heaven_n or_o be_v thereby_o the_o more_o holy_a here_o god_n be_v deny_v and_o christ_n be_v reject_v and_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n thereby_o abuse_v and_o to_o think_v that_o life_n or_o salvation_n or_o death_n and_o damnation_n depend_v in_o the_o observation_n hereof_o be_v a_o devilish_a superstition_n and_o full_a of_o blasphemy_n it_o be_v truth_n the_o papist_n do_v fast_o they_o pray_v they_o watch_v they_o do_v lay_v cross_n on_o themselves_o but_o by_o this_o they_o think_v to_o appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n to_o deserve_v grace_n to_o work_v their_o righteousness_n to_o make_v themselves_o holy_a by_o this_o they_o take_v from_o god_n his_o majesty_n his_o divinity_n his_o mercy_n and_o do_v attribute_v the_o work_n of_o their_o salvation_n to_o their_o own_o merit_n and_o deserve_n our_o saviour_n in_o the_o 6._o of_o matthew_n reprove_v those_o work_n that_o be_v not_o perform_v by_o faith_n but_o what_o work_v be_v those_o that_o he_o there_o rebuke_v even_o such_o as_o be_v command_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o such_o as_o every_o true_a christian_a must_v put_v in_o practice_n namely_o fast_v pray_v &_o deed_n of_o alm_n for_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o be_v once_o corrupt_v with_o gloss_n as_o our_o papist_n do_v accustom_v and_o as_o they_o have_v make_v manifest_a in_o their_o remish_n testament_n be_v no_o more_o god_n word_n so_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v command_v by_o the_o scripture_n be_v once_o pervert_v and_o alienate_v from_o their_o true_a use_n be_v neither_o to_o be_v account_v for_o good_a work_n or_o godly_a deed_n now_o what_o be_v become_v of_o those_o merit_n of_o congruence_n before_o faith_n when_o fast_v pray_v and_o alm_n give_v be_v reprove_v christ_n here_o destroy_v not_o fast_v pray_v and_o alm_n deed_n but_o he_o preach_v against_o the_o purpose_n and_o intent_n how_o they_o be_v pervert_v by_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n so_o we_o that_o do_v seek_v our_o salvation_n in_o christ_n only_o do_v not_o seek_v to_o destroy_v the_o deed_n of_o good_a work_n as_o the_o papi_v untrue_o do_v report_v but_o we_o say_v that_o those_o that_o do_v seek_v their_o justification_n in_o they_o as_o the_o papist_n do_v teach_v be_v most_o injurious_a to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n turk_n and_o jew_n do_v give_v alm_n as_o plentiful_o as_o any_o christian_n do_v yet_o it_o be_v abominable_a for_o lack_v of_o faith_n and_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a intent_n in_o the_o offering_n that_o be_v make_v by_o abel_n and_o cain_n we_o see_v that_o though_o the_o work_n that_o be_v perform_v by_o ungodly_a person_n do_v make_v as_o glorious_a a_o show_n as_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o godly_a yet_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n which_o look_v on_o the_o heart_n the_o deed_n be_v good_a because_o of_o the_o man_n and_o not_o the_o man_n because_o of_o the_o deed_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n consume_v these_o holy_a and_o faithless_a work_n as_o it_o do_v nadab_n and_o abihu_n and_o here_o if_o we_o do_v but_o turn_v our_o eye_n unto_o the_o pharisee_n which_o before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o flesh_n have_v lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o freewill_n whereon_o they_o build_v their_o holy_a work_n see_v what_o follow_v upon_o fervency_n and_o zeal_n they_o thrust_v themselves_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a rest_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n by_o faith_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n i_o think_v the_o pharisee_n and_o our_o papist_n do_v draw_v together_o in_o one_o line_n for_o the_o pharisee_n persecute_v christ_n because_o he_o reprove_v their_o holy_a work_n and_o our_o papist_n be_v as_o angry_a towards_o we_o because_o we_o renounce_v their_o superstitious_a merit_n and_o seek_v our_o justification_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n than_o abraham_n obtain_v not_o this_o righteousness_n before_o god_n through_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n for_o at_o that_o time_n there_o be_v no_o law_n nor_o in_o four_o hundred_o and_o odd_a year_n after_o then_o if_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o can_v be_v neither_o work_n nor_o merit_n what_o then_o but_o the_o bare_a promise_n which_o abraham_n believe_v and_o it_o be_v account_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n abel_n and_o cain_n they_o offer_v their_o oblation_n unto_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o lord_n have_v respect_n to_o the_o offering_n of_o abel_n you_o see_v now_o say_v the_o papist_n that_o god_n have_v respect_n to_o offering_n and_o therefore_o work_n do_v justify_v but_o what_o blindness_n be_v this_o that_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o see_v that_o god_n have_v first_o respect_n to_o the_o person_n of_o abel_n which_o please_v the_o lord_n because_o of_o his_o faith_n their_o work_n be_v both_o one_o they_o both_o offer_v oblation_n what_o be_v then_o the_o difference_n abel_n be_v faithful_a and_o cain_n a_o hypocrite_n presume_v on_o his_o own_o merit_n as_o our_o papist_n do_v it_o be_v truth_n faith_n and_o good_a work_n be_v near_a neighbour_n for_o they_o still_o dwell_v together_o in_o a_o righteous_a man_n but_o as_o touchinge_v their_o office_n there_o be_v a_o great_a separation_n for_o the_o law_n can_v have_v no_o dominion_n but_o over_o the_o flesh_n and_o faith_n alone_o must_v dwell_v in_o the_o conscience_n and_o send_v moses_n away_o with_o his_o law_n there_o she_o plant_v christ_n with_o his_o righteousness_n for_o the_o bleeve_a conscience_n must_v know_v of_o no_o law_n he_o that_o have_v once_o receive_v christ_n by_o faith_n and_o know_v that_o he_o be_v his_o righteousness_n and_o life_n doubtless_o he_o will_v not_o be_v idle_a but_o as_o a_o good_a tree_n he_o will_v bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n for_o the_o believe_a man_n have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n dwell_v it_o will_v not_o suffer_v a_o man_n to_o be_v idle_a but_o stir_v he_o up_o to_o all_o exercise_n of_o piety_n and_o godliness_n and_o of_o true_a religion_n to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o the_o patient_a suffering_n of_o affliction_n to_o prayer_n to_o thanksgiving_n &_o to_o the_o exercise_n of_o charity_n towards_o all_o man_n but_o these_o good_a work_n and_o this_o charity_n follow_v faith_n do_v neither_o form_n nor_o adorn_v my_o faith_n but_o my_o faith_n both_o form_v and_o adorn_v they_o faith_n and_o work_n therefore_o must_v be_v so_o teach_v as_o the_o one_o he_o not_o confound_v by_o the_o other_o for_o he_o that_o teach_v work_n only_o as_o the_o papist_n be_v accustom_v then_o say_v be_v lose_v if_o faith_n only_o be_v teach_v then_o carnal_a man_n by_o and_o by_o begin_v to_o dream_v that_o work_n be_v not_o needful_a faith_n be_v the_o believe_v of_o god_n promise_n and_o a_o sure_a trust_n and_o

in_o the_o time_n of_o affliction_n when_o god_n scourge_v he_o shall_v then_o believe_v that_o god_n then_o love_v and_o prepare_v for_o his_o good_a faith_n give_v glory_n only_o unto_o god_n which_o be_v the_o great_a service_n man_n can_v do_v unto_o he_o for_o without_o faith_n god_n lose_v his_o glory_n his_o wisdom_n his_o righteousness_n his_o truth_n and_o his_o mercy_n and_o to_o
