therefore_o life_n the_o popish_a doctrine_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n which_o christ_n work_v in_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n so_o join_v work_n together_o with_o christ_n in_o the_o

exact_a justice_n can_v abide_v the_o least_o defect_n second_o the_o apostle_n say_v express_o rom._n 3._o 20._o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n none_o can_v be_v justify_v where_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n he_o mean_v not_o work_n do_v by_o our_o own_o strength_n without_o faith_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o papist_n absurd_o teach_v for_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n rom._n 14._o 23._o and_o therefore_o a_o question_n too_o unworthy_a for_o the_o apostle_n to_o dispute_v whether_o or_o no_o work_v mere_o sinful_a without_o any_o manner_n of_o goodness_n in_o they_o may_v justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n neither_o can_v the_o law_n be_v do_v in_o any_o measure_n at_o all_o by_o our_o own_o strength_n for_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o of_o the_o natural_a and_o unregenerate_a man_n destitute_a of_o god_n spirit_n be_v enmity_n unto_o god_n and_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v rom._n 8._o 7._o and_o thereof_o set_v himself_o in_o the_o former_a chapter_n for_o a_o example_n that_o albeit_o in_o his_o mind_n or_o part_v regenerate_v he_o serve_v the_o law_n of_o god_n yet_o in_o his_o flesh_n or_o part_v not_o regenerate_v he_o serve_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n rom._n 7._o 22._o wherefore_o the_o very_a drift_n of_o the_o apostle_n appear_v to_o be_v to_o exclude_v all_o work_n from_o justify_v even_o those_o that_o be_v do_v by_o regenerate_a man_n in_o some_o measure_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o law_n for_o

the_o popish_a doctrine_n of_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n which_o christ_n work_v in_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n be_v true_a it_o shall_v follow_v that_o justice_n and_o sanctification_n which_o the_o apostle_n distinguish_v shall_v be_v one_o but_o that_o to_o the_o 17._o the_o rom._n 1._o 17._o roman_n in_o the_o gospel_n the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v write_v the_o righteous_a by_o faith_n shall_v live_v be_v notable_a to_o this_o purpose_n first_o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n which_o be_v by_o faith_n for_o see_v faith_n apprehend_v not_o the_o work_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n but_o christ_n alone_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o christ_n who_o faith_n apprehend_v be_v our_o justice_n and_o not_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v not_o the_o subject_n of_o faith_n and_o thereupon_o the_o apostle_n teach_v gal._n 3._o 12._o the_o law_n be_v not_o of_o faith_n but_o the_o man_n that_o do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v by_o they_o second_o when_o he_o say_v that_o this_o righteousness_n be_v reveal_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n he_o declare_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n not_o only_o at_o the_o time_n when_o we_o first_o believe_v but_o that_o our_o whole_a and_o continual_a justification_n be_v by_o faith_n otherwise_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v say_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n but_o from_o faith_n to_o work_n and_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o our_o righteousness_n himself_o but_o obtain_v only_a power_n for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v have_v righteousness_n in_o ourselves_o than_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v our_o saviour_n but_o a_o instrument_n of_o our_o salvation_n as_o for_o that_o which_o james_n say_v that_o 25_o that_o jam._n 2._o 21_o 25_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o so_o of_o rahab_n weigh_v the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text_n i_o suppose_v he_o understand_v by_o work_n a_o lively_a and_o a_o work_a faith_n for_o james_n oppose_v not_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n to_o a_o true_a faith_n as_o paul_n do_v but_o work_v that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o effectual_a lively_a faith_n that_o show_v his_o life_n and_o vigour_n by_o the_o fruit_n to_o a_o dead_a and_o fruitless_a faith_n which_o be_v no_o faith_n but_o a_o shadow_n and_o carcase_n of_o faith_n so_o the_o semblance_n of_o difference_n between_o the_o two_o apostle_n may_v be_v conceive_v to_o be_v not_o in_o the_o word_n justify_v which_o with_o they_o both_o go_v for_o that_o â—â—_o be_v to_o be_v make_v righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n but_o in_o the_o term_n of_o work_n paul_n take_v they_o literal_o james_n by_o a_o metonymy_n for_o faith_n that_o bring_v they_o forth_o ascribe_v that_o to_o the_o effect_n which_o he_o intend_v proper_a to_o the_o cause_n from_o whence_o of_o necessity_n and_o unseparable_o it_o come_v and_o this_o to_o be_v his_o meaning_n may_v be_v gather_v by_o 20._o by_o verse_n 17_o 20._o many_o passage_n but_o especial_o verse_n 23._o where_o that_o which_o he_o have_v say_v 11._o say_v verse_n 11._o immediate_o before_o be_v not_o abraham_n justify_v by_o work_n he_o explain_v to_o be_v as_o much_o as_o abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n but_o albeit_o good_a work_n do_v not_o iustiâ—e_v be_v there_o therefore_o no_o need_n to_o do_v good_a work_n o_o yes_o very_o great_a for_o many_o and_o those_o most_o weighty_a
