they_o may_v have_v true_a faith_n in_o he_o which_o they_o can_v not_o have_v but_o by_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o apostle_n say_v rom._n 10._o faith_n be_v by_o hear_v and_o hear_v

itself_o to_o follow_v the_o teach_v of_o their_o new_a master_n this_o will_v seem_v at_o first_o a_o strange_a or_o rather_o a_o very_a injurious_a and_o contumelious_a imputation_n but_o let_v we_o make_v it_o plain_a by_o some_o example_n the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v james_n 2._o 24._o do_v you_o see_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 protestant_a teacher_n say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v not_o by_o work_n but_o by_o faith_n only_o mark_v how_o direct_o they_o contradict_v the_o word_n of_o god._n for_o that_o say_v by_o

their_o salvation_n depend_v which_o be_v not_o obtain_v but_o by_o the_o true_a manner_n of_o justification_n second_o the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v luke_n 1._o 6._o that_o the_o parent_n of_o john_n

the_o charity_n of_o god_n that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o heavy_a but_o protestant_a teacher_n general_o affirm_v that_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n

to_o do_v more_o than_o he_o be_v able_a by_o which_o doctrine_n they_o do_v not_o only_o loose_v the_o bridle_n to_o all_o vice_n and_o make_v god_n more_o indiscreet_a and_o more_o tyrannical_a than_o any_o other_o commander_n in_o the_o world_n but_o they_o also_o flat_o contradict_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o not_o only_o show_v that_o some_o man_n have_v keep_v the_o commandment_n but_o also_o express_o affirm_v that_o they_o be_v not_o heavy_a and_o yet_o protestant_n rather_o believe_v these_o than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o this_o most_o weighty_a point_n but_o note_v

reformation_n about_o which_o they_o themselves_o can_v yet_o agree_v which_o be_v so_o to_o demonstrate_v clear_o that_o this_o prime_a ground_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o general_a

therefore_o justify_v by_o faith_n let_v we_o have_v peace_n towards_o god_n by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o also_o we_o have_v access_n through_o faith_n to_o his_o grace_n this_o ground_n than_o be_v certain_a and_o can_v be_v deny_v by_o any_o christian_a for_o my_o second_o ground_n i_o lay_v that_o this_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n which_o by_o god_n ordination_n be_v of_o necessity_n require_v to_o salvation_n be_v not_o a_o mere_a natural_a faith_n or_o humane_a credulity_n which_o man_n may_v have_v by_o their_o own_o natural_a force_n without_o the_o help_n
