hitherto_o say_v do_v not_o satisfy_v the_o adversary_n i_o answer_v thus_o that_o this_o speech_n of_o paul_n belong_v not_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o justification_n but_o to_o the_o life_n of_o the_o justify_v person_n if_o i_o have_v all_o faith_n say_v he_o but_o want_v charity_n etc._n etc._n what_o then_o therefore_o charity_n enter_v together_o with_o faith_n into_o justification_n but_o this_o be_v no_o good_a consequence_n but_o this_o be_v rather_o the_o consequence_n thereof_o therefore_o charity_n be_v necessary_a in_o the_o regenerate_v which_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v grant_v for_o love_n be_v necessary_a and_o please_a to_o god_n to_o wit_n in_o those_o that_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o reconciliation_n and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ._n for_o god_n natural_o delight_v in_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o own_o which_o though_o it_o be_v imperfect_a yet_o he_o approve_v of_o any_o endeavour_n in_o those_o that_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o by_o christ._n so_o then_o faith_n that_o be_v christ_n apprehend_v by_o faith_n justify_v we_o free_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o must_v not_o receive_v this_o grace_n in_o vain_a but_o he_o receive_v it_o in_o vain_a who_o be_v not_o obedient_a to_o the_o precept_n and_o chrysostom_n example_n of_o christ._n howbeit_o there_o be_v also_o some_o that_o answer_n that_o this_o faith_n here_o mention_v by_o the_o apostle_n shall_v only_o be_v take_v for_o the_o faith_n of_o work_v miracle_n among_o who_o be_v chrysostom_n who_o call_v this_o the_o faith_n not_o of_o doctrine_n but_o of_o miracle_n moreover_o whereas_o they_o urge_v this_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o if_o he_o have_v all_o use_v it_o in_o a_o general_a signification_n to_o this_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o the_o word_n all_o signify_v often_o not_o the_o universality_n of_o a_o kind_n but_o the_o perfection_n of_o a_o species_n to_o which_o it_o be_v join_v as_o 2_o cor._n 9_o god_n be_v able_a to_o make_v every_o

the_o most_o perfect_a faith_n of_o work_a miracle_n so_o that_o i_o can_v remove_v mountain_n etc._n etc._n another_o place_n out_o of_o paul_n 1_o cor._n 13._o now_o these_o three_o remain_n faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n but_o the_o great_a of_o these_o be_v charity_n argument_n our_o justification_n flow_v from_o 13._o the_o more_o worthy_a cause_n charity_n be_v a_o thing_n more_o worthy_a and_o great_a than_o faith_n therefore_o we_o be_v justify_v more_o by_o charity_n than_o by_o faith_n or_o if_o you_o will_v rather_o take_v it_o thus_o if_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o charity_n faith_n will_v be_v great_a than_o charity_n but_o charity_n be_v great_a than_o faith_n therefore_o we_o be_v justify_v rather_o by_o charity_n than_o by_o faith_n answer_n that_o i_o may_v brief_o answer_v both_o these_o argument_n first_o let_v we_o right_o conceive_v not_o only_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o in_o what_o sense_n he_o speak_v they_o these_o

true_a but_o let_v we_o see_v in_o what_o sense_n it_o be_v true_a i_o will_v make_v use_n of_o a_o argument_n like_o it_o there_o have_v not_o rise_v a_o 11._o great_a than_o john_n the_o baptist_n among_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o woman_n therefore_o john_n the_o baptist_n must_v be_v great_a than_o christ._n i_o answer_v from_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n though_o christ_n seem_v less_o than_o john_n the_o baptist_n by_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o general_a opinion_n of_o people_n yet_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n he_o be_v and_o always_o will_v be_v great_a than_o john_n we_o may_v observe_v something_o like_o this_o in_o faith_n and_o charity_n though_o in_o this_o world_n in_o man_n deal_n with_o one_o another_o mutual_a charity_n have_v the_o preeminence_n yet_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n that_o be_v in_o our_o concernment_n with_o god_n against_o satan_n death_n sin_n the_o judgement_n of_o god_n his_o wrath_n and_o

the_o dignity_n and_o excellency_n of_o any_o thing_n be_v discernible_a by_o its_o effect_n and_o performance_n as_o a_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o its_o fruit_n let_v we_o now_o compare_v these_o

of_o those_o work_n but_o only_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o its_o object_n which_o because_o faith_n only_o without_o charity_n embrace_n therefore_o faith_n only_o without_o charity_n receive_v
