to_o reap_v and_o to_o sail_v for_o as_o touch_v these_o thing_n there_o be_v nothing_o command_v in_o the_o law_n then_o there_o remain_v only_o honest_a civil_a or_o moral_a work_n as_o to_o honour_v the_o parent_n to_o help_v the_o poor_a to_o be_v sorry_a for_o wicked_a act_n commit_v for_o these_o thing_n be_v both_o command_v in_o the_o law_n and_o may_v as_o these_o man_n think_v be_v perform_v by_o free_a will_n from_o all_o these_o say_v they_o paul_n take_v away_o the_o power_n of_o iustifieng_v but_o what_o other_o good_a work_n than_o be_v there_o remain_v undoubtedlye_o i_o see_v none_o unless_o peradventure_o they_o understand_v those_o which_o be_v do_v of_o man_n already_o justify_v for_o before_o justification_n other_o work_n have_v we_o none_o beside_o those_o which_o we_o have_v now_o rehearse_v sithen_n therefore_o these_o man_n exclude_v both_o sin_n and_o also_o work_v natural_a and_o these_o moral_a work_n which_o the_o law_n command_v undoubtedlye_o they_o exclude_v all_o work_n let_v they_o then_o show_v by_o what_o work_v they_o will_v have_v man_n to_o be_v justify_v if_o they_o have_v any_o consideration_n they_o will_v have_v this_o always_o before_o their_o eye_n if_o of_o grace_n than_o not_o of_o work_n and_o if_o of_o work_n then_o be_v it_o not_o of_o grace_n neither_o will_v they_o fly_v unto_o this_o so_o foolish_a false_a and_o vain_a cavillation_n to_o say_v that_o paul_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o work_n only_o which_o be_v destitute_a of_o any_o faith_n and_o grace_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v how_o dare_v these_o man_n speak_v this_o when_o as_o they_o can_v abide_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o you_o add_v say_v they_o that_o word_n only_o of_o your_o own_o head_n it_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n if_o they_o lay_v this_o just_o right_o against_o we_o why_o do_v they_o themselves_o commit_v the_o same_o fault_n why_o will_v they_o take_v that_o themselves_o which_o they_o will_v not_o geve_v unto_o other_o see_v therefore_o paul_n take_v away_o the_o power_n of_o iustifieng_v from_o work_v not_o add_v thereto_o this_o word_n only_o how_o do_v they_o then_o add_v that_o word_n unto_o they_o but_o we_o have_v only_o why_o wear_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n &_o that_o by_o it_o only_o most_o firm_a argument_n out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o add_v unto_o faith_n this_o word_n only_o and_o we_o use_v that_o kind_n of_o speech_n which_o as_o we_o shall_v declare_v be_v receive_v and_o use_v of_o all_o the_o father_n but_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o they_o also_o babble_n as_o touchinge_v this_o matter_n paul_n say_v they_o have_v most_o to_o do_v with_o the_o jew_n which_o think_v that_o they_o may_v so_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o especial_o by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n that_o they_o have_v no_o need_n of_o christ_n wherefore_o the_o apostle_n bend_v himself_o to_o that_o only_a but_o i_o think_v that_o whatsoever_o thing_n he_o write_v he_o write_v they_o unto_o the_o church_n which_o consist_v both_o of_o the_o jew_n and_o also_o of_o the_o gentile_n which_o with_o one_o assent_n confess_v christ_n do_v they_o think_v that_o there_o be_v any_o among_o all_o these_o which_o promise_v unto_o themselves_o salvation_n without_o christ_n undoubted_o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o such_o the_o church_n will_v not_o have_v suffer_v they_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o which_o together_o with_o christ_n will_v have_v retain_v ceremony_n unto_o which_o they_o attribute_v over_o much_o but_o that_o there_o be_v any_o which_o exclude_v christ_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v further_o gentâ—es_n paul_n write_v of_o justification_n unto_o the_o whole_a church_n which_o consist_v both_o of_o â–ª_o jew_o and_o also_o of_o gentâ—es_n paul_n when_o he_o teach_v these_o thing_n instruct_v not_o only_o the_o jew_n but_o also_o the_o gentile_n as_o it_o most_o manifest_o appear_v by_o the_o epistle_n unto_o the_o ephesian_n where_o he_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o that_o say_v he_o not_o of_o yourselves_o jest_n any_o man_n shall_v boast_v and_o in_o
