to_o paradise_n by_o this_o false_a conclusion_n thou_o may_v know_v my_o brother_n in_o what_o a_o error_n thou_o be_v for_o thou_o ween_v to_o have_v the_o faith_n that_o make_v man_n righteous_a

rich_a and_o to_o clothe_v thyself_o with_o white_a raiment_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n with_o christ_n innocency_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o shame_n of_o thy_o nakedness_n which_o be_v the_o great_a filthiness_n of_o thy_o comparison_n sin_n be_v not_o see_v to_o the_o whole_a world_n then_o be_v the_o justify_n faith_n as_o it_o be_v a_o flame_n of_o fire_n which_o can_v but_o cast_v forth_o

that_o faith_n alone_o consume_v and_o burn_v away_o sin_n without_o the_o help_n of_o work_n and_o yet_o that_o the_o same_o faith_n can_v be_v without_o good_a work_n wherefore_o like_a as_o if_o we_o see_v a_o flame_n of_o fire_n that_o give_v no_o light_n we_o know_v by_o and_o by_o that_o it_o be_v but_o vain_a and_o paint_a even_o so_o when_o we_o see_v not_o some_o light_n of_o good_a

the_o effect_n of_o faith_n also_o we_o may_v liken_v this_o holy_a faith_n to_o the_o godhead_n which_o be_v in_o jesus_n comparison_n christ_n who_o be_v very_a man_n but_o without_o sin_n do_v

not_o the_o cause_n that_o he_o be_v god_n for_o before_o he_o do_v any_o of_o those_o thing_n he_o be_v god_n and_o the_o lawful_a and_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n and_o he_o need_v not_o to_o work_v those_o miracle_n to_o make_v himself_o god_n by_o they_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v god_n therefore_o he_o do_v they_o and_o so_o the_o miracle_n that_o christ_n wrought_v make_v he_o not_o to_o be_v god_n but_o show_v open_o that_o he_o be_v god_n in_o like_o wise_a true_a faith_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o godhead_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o christian_a which_o do_v wondrous_a work_n and_o be_v never_o weary_a of_o well-doing_n and_o yet_o those_o work_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n that_o a_o christian_n be_v a_o christian_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o be_v righteous_a good_a holy_a and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n neither_o need_v he_o to_o work_v all_o those_o good_a work_n to_o become_v such_o a_o one_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v a_o christian_n by_o faith_n like_a as_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o man_n be_v also_o god_n by_o his_o godhead_n he_o do_v all_o those_o good_a work_n which_o make_v not_o the_o christian_n to_o be_v righteous_a and_o good_a but_o show_v he_o to_o be_v good_a righteous_a and_o holy_a so_o then_o like_a as_o christ_n godhead_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o he_o wrought_v miracy_n even_o so_o faith_n work_v through_o love_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o good_a work_n that_o a_o christian_a man_n do_v and_o like_v as_o a_o man_n may_v say_v of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o he_o have_v do_v this_o miracle_n or_o that_o and_o that_o those_o miracle_n beside_o that_o they_o glorify_v god_n be_v also_o a_o great_a honour_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o be_v man_n who_o for_o his_o obedience_n even_o unto_o death_n be_v

his_o manhood_n but_o deserve_v it_o by_o the_o union_n which_o be_v betwixt_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n so_o do_v faith_n in_o a_o christian_a which_o faith_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o union_n that_o it_o have_v with_o the_o soul_n attribute_v that_o thing_n to_o the_o one_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o other_o whereupon_o it_o come_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n promise_v the_o christian_a everlasting_a life_n for_o his_o good_a work_n because_o good_a work_n be_v the_o fruit_n and_o testimony_n of_o lively_a faith_n and_o proceed_v of_o it_o as_o light_n proceed_v from_o a_o flame_n of_o fire_n according_a as_o i_o have_v say_v heretofore_o and_o by_o this_o holy_a faith_n which_o embrace_v jesus_n christ_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o our_o

though_o it_o have_v merit_v and_o deserve_v it_o and_o therefore_o s._n austin_n say_v that_o god_n crown_v his_o own_o gift_n in_o us._n of_o this_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o jesus_n christ_n christ_n himself_o bear_v good_a record_n where_o he_o pray_v to_o his_o father_n for_o his_o apostle_n and_o for_o such_o as_o shall_v believe_v in_o he_o by_o their_o preach_n i_o pray_v not_o say_v

thou_o my_o father_n art_n in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o thou_o so_o they_o also_o may_v be_v one_o in_o we_o and_o that_o the_o world_n may_v believe_v that_o thou_o have_v send_v i_o and_o that_o i_o

affirm_v that_o faith_n of_o itself_o justify_v not_o deface_v the_o glory_n and_o benefit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o puff_v up_o the_o pride_n of_o man_n who_o can_v abide_v to_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n without_o some_o merit_n of_o his_o own_o but_o say_v they_o it_o be_v a_o great_a quicken_a up_o to_o good_a work_n to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n make_v himself_o righteous_a before_o god_n by_o mean_n of_o they_o i_o answer_v that_o we_o also_o confess_v that_o good_a work_n be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o that_o he_o of_o his_o mere_a grace_n

righteous_a through_o faith_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o know_v themselves_o to_o be_v righteous_a through_o god_n righteousness_n purchase_v by_o christ_n make_v no_o bargain_v with_o god_n for_o their_o work_n as_o though_o they_o will_v buy_v their_o manner_n of_o justification_n such_o as_o it_o be_v with_o they_o but_o be_v inflame_v with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o desirous_a to_o

these_o love_a motion_n be_v the_o spur_n that_o prick_v forward_o the_o true_a christian_n to_o do_v good_a work_n who_o consider_v that_o they_o be_v become_v the_o child_n of_o god_n through_o
