be_v in_o deed_n both_o most_o evident_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v perceive_v in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o ephestan_n he_o say_v by_o grace_n be_v you_o save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o of_o work_n jest_n any_o man_n shall_v boast_n himself_o for_o we_o be_v the_o workmanship_n of_o god_n create_v in_o christ_n jesus_n into_o good_a work_n which_o god_n have_v before_o ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o more_o than_o this_o i_o will_v not_o say_v neither_o will_v i_o at_o large_a expound_v the_o word_n of_o paul_n for_o these_o testimony_n be_v more_o clear_a than_o the_o noon_n day_n and_o do_v most_o evident_o testify_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o any_o work_n but_o reverend_a brethren_n in_o the_o work_n lord_n good_a work_n here_o come_v into_o no_o jeopardy_n to_o be_v little_o set_v by_o because_o of_o this_o doctrine_n which_o teach_v that_o faith_n alone_o do_v justify_v thus_o do_v the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n teach_v why_o then_o shall_v not_o we_o teach_v so_o too_o as_o for_o they_o that_o think_v this_o doctrine_n whereby_o we_o do_v constant_o affirm_v that_o faith_n alone_o without_o work_n do_v justify_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o religion_n let_v they_o blame_v the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n &_o not_o find_v fault_n with_o we_o moreover_o whereas_o justify_v we_o say_v that_o the_o faithful_a be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o or_o else_o by_o faith_n without_o work_n we_o do_v not_o say_v as_o many_o think_v we_o do_v that_o faith_n be_v post_o alone_o or_o utter_o destitute_a of_o good_a work_n for_o where_o soever_o faith_n be_v there_o also_o it_o show_v itself_o by_o good_a work_n because_o the_o righteous_a can_v not_o but_o work_v righteousness_n but_o before_o he_o do_v work_v righteousness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v good_a work_n he_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v righteous_a therefore_o the_o righteous_a do_v not_o attain_v to_o righteousness_n that_o go_v before_o by_o work_n that_o follow_v after_o wherefore_o that_o righteousness_n be_v attribute_v to_o grace_n for_o the_o faithful_a be_v free_o by_o grace_n justify_v in_o faith_n according_a to_o that_o say_n the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n and_o after_o that_o they_o be_v justify_v they_o begin_v to_o bring_v forth_o the_o work_n of_o

before_o the_o face_n of_o god_n but_o my_o mind_n be_v by_o all_o the_o mean_n i_o may_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o increase_v of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v overthrow_v and_o tread_v under_o foot_n when_o we_o join_v our_o merit_n and_o work_n to_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o take_v hold_v on_o christ_n for_o what_o can_v be_v more_o manifest_a than_o this_o say_n of_o the_o bless_a apostle_n if_o we_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n than_o not_o now_o work_v for_o than_o grace_n be_v no_o more_o grace_n but_o if_o we_o be_v

therefore_o lest_o we_o shall_v overthrow_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o wicked_o deny_v the_o fruit_n of_o christ_n his_o passion_n we_o do_v attribute_v justification_n unto_o faith_n only_o because_o that_o faith_n the_o attribute_v it_o to_o the_o mere_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o death_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god._n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o we_o acknowledge_v work_n that_o

the_o godly_a do_v read_v that_o our_o own_o work_n do_v justify_v we_o that_o our_o own_o work_n be_v call_v righteousness_n that_o unto_o our_o own_o work_n be_v give_v a_o reward_n and_o life_n

that_o we_o have_v faith_n in_o deed_n whereas_o the_o lack_n of_o they_o do_v argue_v the_o contrary_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n admonish_v we_o that_o the_o judgement_n shall_v be_v according_a to_o our_o work_n to_o this_o sense_n agree_v that_o in_o the_o 12._o of_o matthew_n where_o it_o be_v say_v by_o thy_o deed_n thou_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o by_o the_o same_o thou_o
