each_o other_o for_o see_v paul_n design_n in_o exclude_v work_n from_o justification_n be_v only_o to_o deny_v the_o work_n of_o the_o jewish_a law_n or_o those_o that_o be_v meritorious_a as_o be_v wrought_v by_o our_o own_o strength_n and_o in_o assert_v that_o in_o opposition_n to_o such_o work_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n he_o mean_v no_o more_o than_o that_o either_o we_o be_v

affirm_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o by_o work_n mean_v no_o more_o than_o evangelical_n obedience_n in_o opposition_n to_o a_o naked_a and_o a_o empty_a faith_n these_o two_o be_v so_o far_o from_o quarrel_v that_o they_o mutual_o embrace_v each_o other_o and_o both_o in_o the_o main_n pursue_v the_o same_o design_n and_o indeed_o if_o any_o disagreement_n seem_v between_o they_o it_o be_v most_o reasonable_a that_o s._n paul_n shall_v be_v expound_v by_o s._n james_n not_o only_o because_o his_o proposition_n be_v so_o express_a and_o positive_a and_o not_o just_o liable_a to_o ambiguity_n but_o because_o he_o write_v some_o competent_a time_n after_o the_o other_o and_o consequent_o as_o he_o perfect_o understand_v his_o meaning_n so_o he_o be_v capable_a to_o countermine_v those_o ill_a principle_n which_o some_o man_n have_v build_v upon_o paul_n assertion_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o several_a passage_n in_o paul_n epistle_n that_o even_o then_o many_o begin_v to_o mistake_v his_o doctrine_n and_o from_o his_o assertion_n about_o justification_n by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o work_n to_o infer_v proposition_n that_o may_v serve_v the_o purpose_n of_o a_o bad_a life_n they_o slanderous_o report_v he_o to_o say_v that_o we_o may_v do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v 3.8_o that_o we_o may_v continue_v in_o sin_n that_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v the_o more_o abound_v 6.1_o they_o think_v that_o so_o long_o as_o they_o do_v but_o believe_v the_o gospel_n in_o the_o naked_a notion_n and_o
