as_o if_o we_o have_v do_v they_o if_o we_o do_v but_o believe_v in_o he_o good_a work_n must_v be_v do_v of_o we_o for_o these_o three_o cause_n first_o because_o god_n have_v command_v they_o second_o because_o he_o be_v glorify_v by_o they_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v matthew_n the_o five_o 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 three_o they_o must_v be_v do_v because_o they_o profit_v and_o further_a our_o poor_a neighbour_n and_o brethren_n the_o needy_a member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o help_v they_o we_o help_v jesus_n christ_n himself_o matth._n 25._o for_o so_o do_v he_o account_v it_o as_o do_v to_o himself_o you_o may_v add_v to_o these_o a_o four_o cause_n why_o good_a work_n be_v to_o be_v do_v although_o they_o save_v we_o not_o because_o they_o shall_v be_v sign_n and_o token_n to_o man_n of_o our_o faith_n which_o be_v hide_v and_o within_o we_o and_o shall_v declare_v that_o we_o be_v good_a christian_n even_o as_o the_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o his_o fruit_n for_o if_o we_o have_v no_o good_a work_n sure_o we_o have_v no_o good_a faith_n but_o a_o devil_n faith_n as_o james_n say_v although_o we_o brag_v never_o so_o much_o of_o our_o faith_n this_o faith_n do_v not_o save_v but_o be_v a_o dead_a faith_n without_o any_o work_n the_o true_a faith_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o before_o it_o do_v not_o save_v we_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o worthiness_n or_o dignity_n of_o it_o but_o because_o it_o do_v look_v unto_o christ_n his_o mark_n or_o object_n and_o do_v apprehend_v he_o with_o his_o work_n the_o papist_n say_v that_o faith_n alone_o can_v not_o justify_v we_o because_o it_o be_v unperfect_a as_o we_o say_v work_n be_v which_o therefore_o can_v not_o save_v us._n but_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o reason_n be_v not_o alike_o for_o we_o may_v have_v a_o true_a &_o a_o lively_a faith_n in_o christ_n although_o it_o be_v not_o in_o every_o point_n perfect_a &_o absolute_a no_o man_n can_v have_v a_o perfect_a faith_n in_o this_o life_n for_o it_o do_v still_o increase_v and_o grow_v in_o great_a measure_n but_o the_o child_n of_o god_n they_o have_v and_o may_v have_v a_o true_a faith_n cleanse_v from_o hypocrisy_n and_o dissimulation_n and_o this_o true_a faith_n do_v justify_v every_o one_o that_o look_v up_o to_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o a_o perfect_a faith_n faith_n be_v liken_v to_o a_o hand_n whereby_o a_o man_n do_v receive_v any_o thing_n now_o we_o know_v by_o experience_n that_o one_o with_o a_o unperfit_a hand_n that_o either_o lack_v a_o finger_n or_o a_o thumb_n or_o that_o have_v his_o hand_n sore_o or_o otherwise_o blemish_v may_v as_o well_o with_o his_o lame_a hand_n receive_v a_o good_a and_o fine_a piece_n of_o gold_n from_o a_o scotfree_a man_n for_o his_o alm_n as_o one_o that_o have_v a_o whole_a or_o sound_o hand_n so_o may_v we_o receyve_v from_o christ_n if_o we_o believe_v but_o a_o little_a as_o much_o as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n seed_n in_o quantity_n we_o may_v receyve_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o all_o other_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n as_o well_o as_o he_o that_o have_v a_o strong_a faith_n and_o a_o great_a and_o nothing_o shall_v be_v unpossible_a unto_o we_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n in_o the_o like_a matter_n matth._n 17._o now_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o firm_a and_o a_o constant_a assent_n of_o the_o mind_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n wrought_v by_o

because_o he_o have_v all_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n that_o we_o gather_v general_o of_o this_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v true_a &_o very_a god_n for_o

we_o understand_v three_o person_n by_o themselves_o distinct_a one_o from_o another_o but_o this_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n may_v better_o be_v believe_v and_o so_o it_o be_v of_o the_o
