we_o preach_v only_a confidence_n and_o assurance_n remote_a from_o all_o piety_n but_o also_o that_o all_o vain_a opinion_n and_o persuasion_n of_o faith_n may_v be_v take_v away_o from_o all_o

so_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a also_o 26_o neither_o only_a do_v good_a work_n proceed_v from_o faith_n but_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n there_o be_v no_o good_a work_n unless_o they_o proceed_v from_o faith_n 27_o see_v therefore_o faith_n have_v respect_n unto_o the_o word_n as_o unto_o its_o correlate_n therefore_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o good_a work_n 28_o therefore_o superstition_n and_o will-worship_n please_v not_o god_n but_o those_o work_v only_a which_o be_v do_v according_a to_o the_o canon_n and_o rule_n of_o the_o

christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n 30_o moreover_o see_v that_o faith_n do_v not_o arise_v

from_o any_o natural_a power_n of_o freewill_n but_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o from_o what_o we_o say_v that_o work_n must_v proceed_v from_o faith_n we_o infer_v further_o that_o there_o be_v n●_n work_v good_a indeed_o do_v by_o man_n except_o they_o be_v regenerate_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 31_o for_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v dead_a in_o sin_n ephes_n

therefore_o dispute_v s._n augustine_n and_o with_o much_o vehemency_n those_o work_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v good_a if_o they_o be_v without_o faith_n they_o be_v no_o better_a than_o sin_n or_o

which_o be_v true_o good_a proceed_v from_o faith_n we_o may_v gather_v many_o other_o thing_n for_o from_o thence_o it_o follow_v that_o good_a work_n although_o they_o reach_v not_o to_o that_o

this_o be_v not_o our_o meaning_n that_o christ_n satisfaction_n be_v so_o impute_v to_o our_o work_n that_o for_o those_o work_n of_o we_o we_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n 41_o for_o see_v that_o they_o themselves_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o justification_n as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v certain_o they_o can_v justify_v we_o 42_o but_o this_o we_o say_v that_o those_o good_a work_n be_v

regenerate_a do_v please_v god_n but_o they_o do_v not_o appease_v god_n 44_o to_o conclude_v because_o good_a work_n proceed_v from_o faith_n we_o be_v not_o therefore_o by_o they_o and_o for_o they_o justify_v before_o god_n 45_o for_o what_o we_o have_v already_o obtain_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n what_o need_n have_v we_o to_o seek_v for_o by_o good_a work_n 46_o when_o the_o question_n therefore_o be_v move_v whether_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o good_a work_n and_o so_o merit_v salvation_n let_v we_o diligent_o examine_v the_o term_n and_o word_n of_o the_o question_n 47_o good_a
