the_o root_n and_o heat_n and_o light_n from_o the_o sun_n but_o the_o question_n which_o be_v now_o to_o be_v answer_v be_v how_o the_o word_n justify_v must_v here_o in_o these_o word_n of_o s._n paul_n be_v take_v 3.5_o phil._n 3.5_o i_o say_v then_o it_o be_v most_o likely_a that_o s._n paul_n be_v of_o the_o kindred_n of_o israel_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o benjamin_n a_o hebrew_n of_o the_o hebrew_n as_o he_o be_v best_o acquaint_v with_o the_o hebrew_n phrase_n so_o he_o will_v rather_o use_v it_o then_o the_o latin_a nay_o this_o be_v more_o than_o likely_a because_o in_o this_o very_a chapter_n before_o he_o have_v use_v this_o very_a word_n according_a to_o the_o hebrew_n phrase_n and_o in_o that_o sense_n that_o it_o have_v common_o in_o the_o scripture_n as_o our_o adversary_n themselves_o must_v needs_o confess_v in_o his_o allegation_n out_o of_o the_o 51._o psalm_n it_o be_v therefore_o very_o absurd_a 3.4_o rom._n 3.4_o that_o our_o adversary_n to_o confirm_v their_o sense_n of_o this_o word_n be_v force_v so_o to_o understand_v it_o as_o it_o be_v never_o or_o at_o the_o least_o very_a seldom_o understand_v in_o the_o scripture_n so_o that_o hardly_o they_o can_v allege_v any_o testimony_n where_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v be_v take_v in_o their_o sense_n whereas_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v very_o many_o which_o they_o confess_v must_v have_v our_o sense_n another_o absurdity_n i_o find_v in_o their_o interpretation_n interpretation_n justification_n and_o sanctification_n confound_v by_o the_o popish_a interpretation_n that_o they_o confound_v these_o two_o notable_a benefit_n which_o we_o have_v by_o christ_n that_o be_v our_o justification_n &_o our_o sanctification_n of_o the_o first_o he_o speak_v in_o this_o place_n &_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o five_o chap_n and_o of_o the_o latter_a he_o begin_v to_o speak_v in_o the_o sixth_o chap._n as_o to_o the_o end_n i_o need_v not_o stand_v long_o in_o proof_n hereof_o tho._n of_o aquine_n who_o i_o know_v our_o adversary_n will_v trust_v in_o a_o great_a matter_n than_o this_o be_v shall_v testify_v for_o we_o in_o these_o word_n after_o the_o apostle_n have_v show_v that_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n we_o be_v free_v from_o sin_n past_a 1._o tho._n aquin._n in_o rom._n 6._o lec_n 1._o as_o well_o that_o which_o have_v be_v bring_v in_o by_o the_o first_o man_n as_o that_o which_o by_o the_o law_n abound_v here_o he_o show_v that_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n power_n be_v give_v we_o to_o resist_v sin_n afterward_o and_o this_o he_o teach_v enter_v into_o his_o exposition_n upon_o the_o sixth_o chapter_n of_o this_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n prove_v direct_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v now_o the_o confound_a of_o these_o two_o benefit_n which_o the_o apostle_n here_o and_o elsewhere_o distinguish_v be_v very_o absurd_a but_o here_o by_o the_o way_n i_o will_v ask_v a_o question_n of_o our_o romish_a master_n what_o they_o think_v of_o these_o word_n of_o their_o angellical_a doctor_n for_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o say_v as_o it_o be_v indeed_o most_o true_a and_o well_o warrant_v by_o the_o word_n itself_o then_o be_v it_o most_o false_a that_o our_o adversary_n here_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o a_o inherent_a righteousness_n which_o i_o thus_o prove_v inherent_a righteousness_n be_v for_o the_o avoid_v of_o sin_n to_o come_v but_o the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o of_o the_o avoid_v of_o sin_n to_o come_v before_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o sixth_o chapter_n therefore_o before_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o sixth_o chapter_n he_o speak_v not_o of_o inherent_a righteousness_n the_o minor_a which_o be_v only_o by_o they_o to_o be_v deny_v be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o tho._n aquinas_n beside_o these_o absurdity_n we_o have_v strong_a argument_n whereby_o to_o refel_v their_o interpretation_n as_o first_o meaning_n the_o apostle_n meaning_n the_o intent_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o from_o the_o 16._o verse_n of_o the_o first_o chapter_n unto_o these_o word_n prove_v that_o all_o both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n because_o they_o

23._o verse_n 23._o but_o the_o apostle_n have_v thus_o prove_v that_o all_o have_v sin_v and_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n will_v not_o leave_v we_o in_o that_o uncomfortable_a
