staff_n end_n too_o the_o intent_n too_o humble_v he_o as_o he_o do_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o faithful_a then_o can_v not_o abraham_n bring_v aught_o of_o himself_o for_o look_v what_o goodness_n so_o ever_o he_o have_v he_o hold_v it_o of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o free_a goodness_n and_o moreover_o the_o same_o be_v yet_o still_o unsufficient_a too_o save_o he_o for_o by_o nature_n he_o be_v utter_o lose_v and_o damn_a as_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o adam_n line_n be_v therefore_o it_o stand_v he_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n shall_v receyve_v he_o through_o pardon_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o look_v upon_o he_o single_o in_o his_o faith_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o god_n justify_v of_o we_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o his_o own_o mere_a and_o alone_a goodness_n and_o that_o thereupon_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o rest_v in_o his_o promise_n by_o the_o virtue_n whereof_o he_o allow_v and_o accept_v we_o yea_o and_o our_o work_n also_o not_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o come_v of_o ourselves_o but_o for_o that_o we_o do_v they_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o do_v he_o accept_v they_o and_o allow_v they_o as_o righteous_a yea_o even_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o to_o reward_v they_o as_o the_o whole_a scripture_n do_v plentiful_o witness_v and_o yet_o do_v all_o this_o also_o proceed_v of_o faith_n for_o when_o we_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v too_o say_v accept_v for_o righteous_a before_o god_n then_o also_o be_v our_o work_n justify_v that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n accept_v they_o for_o rightful_a although_o there_o be_v not_o any_o worthiness_n in_o they_o nor_o any_o cause_n at_o all_o why_o he_o shall_v receive_v they_o then_o like_a as_o we_o ourselves_o be_v justify_v by_o god_n only_o free_a goodness_n when_o we_o receyve_v his_o promise_n by_o faith_n even_o so_o be_v our_o work_n justify_v by_o the_o self_n same_o mean_a after_o that_o manner_n be_v abraham_n justify_v in_o his_o person_n and_o then_o likewise_o be_v his_o work_n also_o justify_v before_o god_n but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v if_o you_o consider_v the_o original_a cause_n and_o wellspring_n of_o all_o you_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o nothing_o else_o be_v make_v account_n of_o but_o only_a faith_n for_o have_v god_n list_v to_o sift_v abraham_n life_n he_o have_v be_v condemn_v as_o all_o other_o mortal_a man_n be_v but_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o take_v he_o for_o his_o own_o and_o nothing_o persuade_v or_o move_v he_o thereunto_o but_o his_o own_o mere_a mercy_n also_o abraham_n have_v his_o eye_n shut_v against_o all_o vain_a trust_v wherewith_o man_n deceyve_v themselves_o he_o know_v there_o be_v nothing_o able_a to_o bring_v he_o to_o life_n save_o the_o only_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o be_v short_a like_a as_o abraham_n have_v no_o regard_n but_o of_o god_n mere_a mercy_n so_o god_n have_v no_o regard_n but_o only_o of_o abraham_n faith_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v he_o justify_v so_o then_o let_v we_o leave_v all_o thing_n that_o man_n imagine_v to_o bring_v themselves_o in_o favour_n with_o god_n by_o mingle_v this_o and_o that_o with_o faith_n for_o they_o be_v all_o but_o falshod_n and_o illusion_n of_o satan_n and_o let_v faith_n have_v such_o foundation_n as_o this_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o with_o all_o humility_n we_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v then_o righteous_a when_o god_n forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o by_o the_o same_o mean_v our_o work_n also_o be_v reckon_v for_o good_a and_o righteous_a because_o god_n list_v not_o to_o sift_v they_o narrow_o but_o take_v they_o in_o good_a worth_n of_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v upon_o that_o text_n now_o that_o the_o blessedness_n of_o abraham_n belong_v unto_o we_o and_o be_v mean_v unto_o we_o it_o appear_v by_o that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o and_o by_o that_o s._n paul_n avouch_v that_o all_o nati●ons_n shall_v be_v bless_v in_o abraham_n and_o now_o remain_v too_o see_v the_o reason_n that_o s._n paul_n add_v on_o the_o contrary_a part_n for_o man_n by_o their_o good_a will_n can_v never_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o give_v over_o the_o opinion_n which_o they_o have_v of_o their_o own_o righteousness_n except_o they_o be_v compel_v and_o enforce_v too_o it_o for_o although_o we_o be_v sape_v in_o so_o many_o vice_n as_o be_v ough_o to_o behold_v yet_o the_o worst_a and_o deep_a root_a vice_n in_o our_o nature_n be_v pride_n or_o presumptuousnesse_n which_o be_v a_o self-willed_a ween_v that_o there_o be_v somewhat_o in_o we_o in_o so_o much_o that_o although_o god_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v right_o nought_o and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o leaudnesse_n filthiness_n and_o unclennesse_n and_o that_o all_o the_o virtue_n which_o we_o dream_v upon_o be_v but_o vanity_n &_o lease_n yet_o can_v he_o not_o compass_v to_o humble_v we_o till_o we_o ourselves_o perceive_v our_o own_o need_n and_o have_v it_o prove_v to_o our_o face_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o the_o reason_n which_o s._n paul_n add_v here_o to_o draw_v we_o to_o the_o pure_a faith_n and_o to_o turn_v we_o away_o from_o all_o the_o vain_a trust_v which_o we_o can_v have_v in_o our_o own_o deserve_n all_o they_o say_v he_o that_o be_v of_o the_o law_n be_v accurse_v for_o it_o be_v write_v curse_a be_v he_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v write_v and_o contain_v in_o this_o book_n too_o do_v they_o when_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o all_o they_o which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n be_v curse_v he_o mean_v that_o so_o long_o as_o man_n rest_n and_o muse_v upon_o their_o own_o work_n and_o think_v to_o obtain_v grace_n by_o that_o mean_a before_o god_n they_o be_v curse_v for_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o like_o as_o he_o that_o forsake_v himself_o and_o renounce_v all_o that_o he_o have_v of_o his_o own_o and_o ground_v himself_o upon_o the_o only_a mercy_n of_o god_n be_v of_o faith_n so_o contrariwyse_o he_o that_o think_v too_o bring_v any_o service_n wherewith_o too_o bind_v god_n unto_o he_o or_o imagine_v to_o recompense_v he_o with_o his_o merit_n be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o such_o be_v curse_v and_o why_o he_o allege_v the_o say_n of_o

have_v pass_v some_o covenaunt_n and_o that_o god_n on_o his_o side_n have_v make_v demand_n say_v i_o will_v have_v you_o too_o serve_v i_o after_o this_o manner_n yea_o even_o without_o fail_v in_o

amen_o yea_o lord_n we_o be_v content_v to_o be_v all_o damn_a if_o we_o serve_v thou_o not_o and_o then_o afterward_o god_n shall_v come_v and_o conclude_v curse_a be_v he_o that_o perform_v not_o
