of_o the_o law_n rom._n 3.28_o and_o the_o apostle_n in_o very_a many_o place_n whereof_o mention_n shall_v he_o make_v hereafter_o do_v express_o exclude_v week_n from_o be_v any_o cause_n of_o our_o

paul_n speak_v rom._n 4.8_o and_o he_o show_v that_o abraham_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n before_o god_n for_o if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n than_o shall_v he_o have_v wherein_o to_o

saint_n james_n in_o his_o second_o chapter_n do_v say_v that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o his_o work_n when_o he_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n at_o god_n commandment_n and_o likewise_o that_o he_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o but_o before_o who_o be_v he_o justify_v by_o work_n not_o before_o god_n but_o before_o man_n that_o be_v to_o

therefore_o say_v he_o show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_n this_o word_n show_v i_o do_v manifest_a what_o manner_n of_o justification_n he_o speak_v off_o namely_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o
