of_o god_n which_o certes_o can_v not_o be_v so_o if_z y_z t_z justice_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v be_v inherent_a in_o ourselves_o again_o that_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v apply_v to_o

that_o god_n righteousness_n be_v that_o justice_n which_o we_o present_v for_o our_o justification_n second_o that_o it_o be_v we_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n jesus_n three_o that_o we_o apprehend_v and_o take_v hold_v upon_o it_o by_o faith_n only_o and_o so_o we_o have_v the_o explication_n how_o sole_a faith_n do_v justify_v which_o because_o the_o papist_n so_o bitter_o impugn_v i_o will_v prove_v it_o both_o by_o y_z e_z scripture_n and_o the_o father_n if_o abraham_n say_v s._n paul_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n ●_o he_o have_v wherein_o to_o rejoice_v but_o not_o with_o god_n for_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n thus_o say_v the_o apostle_n out_o of_o which_o word_n i_o note_v first_o that_o work_n do_v not_o justify_v abraham_n before_o god_n i_o note_v second_o that_o that_o justice_n by_o which_o man_n stand_v clear_a before_o god_n be_v only_o imputative_a and_o not_o real_o inherent_a in_o himself_o which_o imputative_a justice_n the_o apostle_n do_v often_o inculcate_v
in_o this_o chapter_n the_o four_o to_o the_o roman_n i_o note_v three_o that_o faith_n be_v count_v our_o righteousness_n which_o the_o apostle_n express_v more_o lively_a in_o the_o five_o verse_n

never_o cease_v to_o impeach_v accuse_v slander_n and_o condemn_v we_o in_o this_o behalf_n yet_o do_v we_o defend_v nothing_o herein_o but_o that_o which_o their_o own_o best_a doctor_n and_o print_a book_n do_v teach_v we_o yea_o even_o such_o book_n as_o be_v dedicate_v to_o the_o pope_n holiness_n himself_o the_o conceit_n which_o this_o bishop_n allege_v to_o make_v good_a his_o intend_a purpose_n be_v childish_a and_o too_o too_o frivolous_a for_o first_o where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o father_n speak_v of_o good_a work_n only_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o natural_a valour_n as_o he_o term_v it_o i_o answer_v confute_v that_o that_o gloss_n and_o exposition_n be_v only_o invent_v by_o he_o and_o his_o fellow_n to_o salve_v their_o beggarly_a doctrine_n if_o it_o will_v be_v for_n beside_o y_o it_o no_o father_n say_v so_o they_o repute_v all_o work_n before_o grace_n mere_a sin_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v out_o of_o austen_n and_o our_o bishop_n unwitting_o confute_v himself_o of_o such_o force_n be_v the_o truth_n when_o he_o grant_v that_o good_a work_n do_v in_o grace_n be_v unworthy_a of_o heaven_n if_o god_n promise_v be_v set_v apart_o for_o if_o they_o

understand_v justice_n commutative_a and_o require_v arithmetical_a equality_n and_o if_o geometrical_a proportion_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v yet_o shall_v great_a equality_n be_v require_v then_o can_v be_v find_v between_o our_o work_n and_o eternal_a life_n the_o 9_o objection_n you_o brag_v that_o the_o merit_n of_o good_a work_n can_v be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n 15._o but_o therein_o you_o belie_v both_o we_o and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o in_o the_o book_n of_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la i_o find_v these_o express_a word_n omnis_fw-la misericordia_fw-la faciet_fw-la

be_v make_v express_a mention_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o good_a work_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o the_o book_n of_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la be_v not_o canonical_a scripture_n as_o which_o be_v not_o find_v write_v in_o the_o holy_a tongue_n i_o say_v second_o that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o nothing_o that_o your_o late_a council_n of_o trent_n have_v so_o magnify_v your_o latin_a vulgata_fw-la editio_fw-la for_o such_o stuff_n as_o this_o it_o do_v afford_v you_o in_o time_n of_o need_n i_o say_v three_o that_o in_o the_o original_n and_o greek_a text_n your_o word_n merit_n

find_v according_a to_o his_o work_n the_o 10._o objection_n one_o scripture_n say_v that_o if_o we_o give_v alm_n all_o thing_n be_v pure_a unto_o us._n another_o scripture_n say_v that_o charity_n cover_v the_o multitude_n of_o sin_n 8._o and_o it_o be_v frequent_a with_o the_o holy_a father_n that_o good_a work_n deliver_v we_o from_o hell_n the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o s._n luke_n reprove_v y_o e_o extortion_n of_o the_o pharisy_n &_o exhort_v they_o to_o work_n of_o charity_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v not_o unwashed_a hand_n make_v you_o eat_v unclean_o but_o your_o wicked_a extortion_n use_v therefore_o charity_n and_o give_v alm_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o then_o your_o soul_n be_v clean_a though_o the_o platter_n be_v unwashed_a this_o sense_n be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o verse_n aforego_v i_o say_v second_o that_o almesdeede_n and_o other_o good_a work_n proceed_v of_o faith_n do_v neither_o merit_n nor_o justify_v as_o be_v prove_v but_o yet_o they_o be_v testimony_n before_o man_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n jesus_n for_o which_o respect_n justification_n be_v often_o ascribe_v unto_o they_o as_o to_o the_o effect_n thereof_o i_o say_v three_o that_o the_o father_n in_o many_o place_n do_v speak_v of_o temporal_a remission_n which_o often_o be_v grant_v for_o alm_n deed_n and_o the_o like_a the_o reply_n if_o good_a work_n can_v neither_o justify_v nor_o merit_n then_o be_v it_o but_o a_o vain_a thing_n to_o exercise_v ourselves_o therein_o the_o answer_n i_o say_v first_o that_o thus_o to_o say_v and_o think_v be_v a_o probable_a sign_n of_o the_o reprobate_n who_o have_v no_o feel_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n but_o be_v become_v senseless_a in_o all_o spiritual_a contemplation_n i_o say_v second_o that_o albeit_o good_a work_n do_v neither_o justify_v nor_o merit_n in_o proper_a kind_n of_o speech_n yet_o be_v there_o many_o good_a and_o necessary_a cause_n why_o we_o shall_v do_v good_a work_n first_o because_o god_n be_v glorify_v therein_o therefore_o say_v christ_n let_v your_o light_n so_o shine_v before_o man_n that_o they_o may_v see_v your_o good_a work_n and_o glorify_v your_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n second_o because_o by_o good_a work_n we_o show_v our_o gratitude_n &_o love_n towards_o god_n therefore_o say_v christ_n if_o you_o love_v i_o keep_v my_o commandment_n three_o 15._o because_o it_o be_v the_o end_n for_o which_o we_o be_v create_v therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n for_o we_o be_v his_o workmanship_n create_v in_o christ_n jesus_n unto_o good_a work_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o four_o 6_o because_o they_o be_v necessary_a effect_n of_o our_o predestination_n and_o consequent_o yield_v and_o evident_a moral_a certitude_n both_o to_o ourselves_o &_o to_o our_o neighbour_n that_o we_o be_v y_z e_z child_n of_o god_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o y_z t_z be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n which_o walk_v not_o after_o y_o e_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v who_o soever_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n can_v but_o live_v after_o god_n holy_a law_n which_o be_v the_o self_n same_o doctrine_n that_o christ_n himself_o teach_v we_o say_v if_o you_o shall_v keep_v my_o commandment_n 10._o you_o shall_v abide_v in_o my_o love_n as_o i_o have_v keep_v my_o father_n commandment_n and_o abide_v in_o his_o love_n 2.3_o and_o s._n john_n confirm_v the_o same_o in_o these_o word_n in_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o love_v the_o child_n of_o god_n when_o we_o love_v god_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n for_o this_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n so_o than_o if_o we_o keep_v god_n commandment_n it_o be_v a_o evident_a sign_n that_o we_o love_v god_n and_o that_o by_o faith_n we_o be_v of_o his_o free_a mercy_n make_v his_o child_n for_o the_o merit_n and_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n jesus_n see_v more_o hereof_o in_o the_o eleven_o preamble_n in_o my_o first_o book_n of_o motive_n the_o 8_o conclusion_n although_o good_a work_n do_v neither_o merit_n grace_n in_o this_o life_n nor_o glory_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v as_o which_o be_v imperfect_a pollute_v with_o sin_n and_o in_o rigour_n of_o justice_n worthy_a of_o condemnation_n as_o be_v already_o prove_v yet_o because_o god_n have_v decree_v in_o his_o eternal_a counsel_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o heaven_n by_o they_o as_o by_o ordinary_a mean_n and_o right_a fruit_n of_o a_o sound_n christian_n faith_n they_o may_v in_o a_o godly_a sense_n be_v term_v the_o secundary_a instrumental_a cause_n of_o eternal_a life_n but_o in_o no_o sense_n the_o cause_n of_o man_n justification_n explico_fw-la i_o say_v of_o man_n justification_n because_o the_o latter_a can_v never_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o former_a and_o consequent_o good_a work_n follow_v our_o justification_n as_o the_o immediate_a fruit_n thereof_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n possible_a be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o same_o in_o regard_v whereof_o s._n austen_n as_o in_o many_o other_o thing_n
