they_o who_o he_o have_v so_o call_v he_o have_v justify_v and_o who_o soever_o he_o have_v justify_v he_o will_v glorify_v eternal_o roma_fw-it viij_o and_o in_o this_o justification_n whereby_o god_n receive_v we_o into_o his_o favour_n and_o pardon_v our_o sin_n impute_v righteousness_n unto_o we_o there_o be_v no_o degree_n for_o when_o he_o do_v justify_v we_o he_o make_v we_o his_o child_n and_o so_o his_o child_n that_o we_o be_v his_o heir_n and_o heir_n by_o adoption_n annex_v with_o christ_n his_o only_o beget_v son_n by_o nature_n roma_fw-it viij_o wherefore_o although_o faith_n and_o good_a work_v the_o one_o be_v the_o instrument_n to_o receive_v the_o other_o be_v the_o fruit_n to_o show_v our_o justification_n may_v &_o aught_o to_o increase_v daily_o in_o we_o that_o be_v justify_v yet_o our_o justification_n before_o god_o be_v not_o thereby_o increase_v who_o impute_v righteousness_n unto_o we_o for_o christ_n sake_n alone_o and_o not_o for_o our_o own_o worthiness_n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a how_o unlike_o your_o third_o kind_n of_o justification_n be_v to_o the_o justification_n of_o god_n who_o justify_v not_o the_o righteous_a but_o the_o ungodly_a man_n that_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o as_o for_o the_o testimony_n that_o you_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o apocalypse_n although_o it_o may_v have_v a_o true_a meaning_n that_o he_o which_o be_v just_a may_v be_v make_v more_o just_a and_o he_o that_o be_v holy_a may_v be_v make_v more_o holy_a which_o be_v of_o the_o increase_n of_o virtue_n and_o not_o of_o justification_n yet_o the_o best_a interpretation_n accord_v to_o the_o greek_a phrase_n be_v rather_o of_o continuance_n than_o increase_n and_o so_o it_o be_v best_a translate_v he_o that_o be_v righteous_a let_v he_o be_v righteous_a still_o and_o he_o that_o be_v holy_a let_v he_o be_v holy_a still_o wherefore_o you_o see_v upon_o how_o weak_a a_o foundation_n your_o third_o kind_n of_o justification_n do_v lean_a namely_o upon_o a_o corrupt_a translation_n but_o admit_v it_o be_v so_o as_o you_o do_v take_v it_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o a_o just_a man_n and_o a_o man_n justify_v for_o a_o just_a man_n be_v he_o that_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o virtue_n of_o justice_n which_o may_v increase_v or_o diminish_v in_o he_o but_o a_o justify_v man_n be_v he_o who_o sin_n be_v forgive_v he_o and_o he_o account_v righteous_a not_o for_o his_o own_o worthiness_n but_o for_o christ_n sake_n therefore_o although_o the_o virtue_n of_o justice_n which_o be_v a_o quality_n in_o he_o may_v increase_v yet_o because_o in_o god_n sight_n there_o be_v no_o respect_n of_o his_o worthiness_n his_o justification_n can_v not_o increase_v thereby_o for_o what_o can_v he_o be_v more_o than_o the_o son_n of_o god_o and_o inheritor_n with_o christ_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n if_o you_o say_v he_o may_v have_v great_a reward_n that_o have_v great_a virtue_n i_o will_v not_o contend_v against_o you_o so_o that_o this_o be_v remember_v that_o his_o virtue_n be_v reward_v not_o as_o his_o merit_n but_o as_o god_n gift_n for_o his_o promise_n sake_n so_o that_o a_o just_a or_o righteous_a man_n be_v he_o that_o exercise_v himself_o in_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n commandment_n so_o near_o as_o god_n shall_v give_v he_o grace_n and_o the_o infirmity_n of_o man_n corrupt_a nature_n will_v admit_v but_o a_o justify_v man_n be_v he_o that_o have_v no_o justice_n or_o righteousness_n in_o he_o before_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n for_o just_a his_o iniquity_n be_v pardon_v and_o his_o sin_n cover_v and_o for_o they_o that_o be_v simple_a a_o example_n will_v make_v the_o matter_n plain_a there_o be_v two_o man_n stand_v before_o a_o prince_n the_o one_o that_o have_v not_o transgress_v the_o prince_n law_n which_o may_v be_v call_v a_o just_a man_n the_o other_o that_o have_v grievous_o offend_v and_o be_v pardon_v of_o the_o prince_n which_o may_v well_o be_v term_v a_o justify_v man_n but_o this_o difference_n there_o be_v to_o be_v note_v in_o this_o example_n that_o before_o god_n none_o can_v be_v just_a or_o righteous_a but_o he_o that_o be_v first_o justify_v neither_o can_v any_o man_n be_v so_o just_a but_o that_o he_o offend_v in_o many_o thing_n and_o have_v need_n of_o great_a mercy_n thus_o it_o be_v clear_a how_o impertinent_o the_o increase_n of_o faith_n and_o good_a work_v with_o terte_n of_o scripture_n belong_v thereto_o be_v of_o you_o draw_v to_o justification_n before_o god_n wherefore_o by_o our_o affirmation_n that_o only_a faith_n justify_v we_o neither_o deny_v the_o exercise_n and_o commodity_n of_o christes_fw-fr sacrament_n nor_o yet_o the_o study_n and_o practice_v of_o all_o good_a work_v command_v of_o god_n but_o rather_o establish_v they_o when_o we_o teach_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v seal_n and_o confirmation_n of_o this_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o same_o first_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n second_o for_o the_o example_n of_o other_o and_o three_o for_o assurance_n of_o our_o election_n to_o we_o ward_n and_o increase_v of_o our_o reward_n before_o god_n and_o as_o for_o that_o which_o you_o allege_v out_o of_o saint_n augustine_n which_o of_o all_o other_o writer_n be_v most_o clear_a of_o our_o judgement_n for_o election_n justification_n and_o sainctification_n make_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n against_o us._n for_o we_o do_v not_o teach_v as_o i_o have_v often_o say_v that_o a_o bare_a faith_n alone_o which_o be_v void_a of_o good_a work_v be_v sufficient_a for_o our_o salvation_n but_o that_o a_o true_a lively_a and_o fruitful_a faith_n only_o do_v justify_v we_o before_o god_n that_o god_o may_v have_v all_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o salvation_n in_o christ_n and_o that_o sanctification_n or_o good_a work_v of_o necessity_n must_v follow_v a_o justify_v man_n whereby_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v his_o neighbour_n profit_v and_o himself_o reward_v not_o of_o merit_n due_a to_o he_o work_v but_o of_o mercy_n accord_v to_o god_n promise_n and_o that_o which_o saint_n james_n speak_v of_o faith_n that_o it_o do_v not_o justify_v alone_o he_o mean_v as_o he_o himself_o expound_v of_o a_o dead_a faith_n which_o be_v void_a of_o good_a work_v of_o a_o historical_a faith_n that_o there_o be_v one_o god_n etc_n etc_n which_o the_o devil_n believe_v not_o of_o a_o lively_a faith_n which_o work_v by_o charity_n nor_o of_o a_o justify_v faith_n which_o embrace_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n set_v forth_o in_o his_o promise_n so_o that_o this_o saying_n of_o saint_n james_n a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o faith_n only_o be_v all_o one_o with_o this_o a_o dead_a faith_n or_o a_o historical_a faith_n do_v not_o justify_v which_o we_o do_v always_o affirm_v and_o whereas_o he_o speak_v of_o justification_n by_o work_v he_o mean_v of_o argument_n prove_v and_o certain_a sign_n to_o the_o world_n of_o justification_n before_o god_n as_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o his_o example_n for_o abraham_n be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o faith_n without_o respect_n of_o his_o work_n as_o saint_n paul_n do_v testify_v when_o he_o believe_v the_o promise_n and_o that_o the_o scripture_n say_v his_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n which_o be_v long_o before_o he_o offer_v his_o son_n isaake_n but_o this_o his_o obedience_n be_v a_o trial_n and_o manifest_a testimony_n of_o his_o justification_n by_o faith_n to_o all_o the_o world_n whereupon_o as_o saint_n james_n conclude_v it_o be_v evident_a to_o all_o man_n how_o this_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n likewise_o the_o harlot_n rahab_n as_o witness_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n the._n 11._o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n when_o she_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o destruction_n of_o her_o country_n and_o all_o they_o that_o do_v not_o join_v theimselue_n to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n but_o she_o show_v the_o fruit_n of_o this_o faith_n when_o she_o entertain_v and_o dismiss_v the_o spy_n that_o come_v to_o her_o house_n so_o that_o by_o this_o distinction_n of_o faith_n and_o justification_n saint_n james_n agree_v with_o s._n paul_n which_o without_o it_o can_v never_o by_o reconcile_v for_o that_o confusion_n of_o faith_n and_o work_n which_o the_o papist_n make_v to_o concur_v in_o justification_n can_v never_o make_v they_o agree_v for_o saint_n paul_n do_v flatt_o exclude_v work_n from_o that_o office_n we_o determine_v say_v he_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n rom._n 3._o but_o this_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o both_o the_o apostle_n that_o a_o lively_a faith_n alone_o do_v justify_v the_o one_o
