before_o we_o can_v come_v to_o heaven_n and_o by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o as_o the_o father_n so_o origen_n also_o make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o justification_n where_o faith_n only_o be_v respect_v and_o salvation_n to_o which_o all_o virtue_n be_v require_v iii_o difference_n speaker_n w._n p._n the_o three_o difference_n about_o justification_n be_v concern_v this_o point_n namely_o how_o far_o forth_o good_a work_n be_v require_v thereto_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v that_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o justification_n the_o first_o and_o second_o as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o first_o be_v when_o one_o of_o a_o evil_a man_n be_v make_v a_o good_a man_n and_o in_o this_o work_n be_v whole_o exclude_v it_o be_v whole_o of_o grace_n the_o second_o be_v when_o a_o man_n of_o a_o just_a man_n be_v make_v more_o just_a and_o this_o they_o will_v have_v to_o proceed_v from_o work_n of_o grace_n for_o say_v they_o as_o a_o man_n when_o he_o be_v once_o bear_v can_v by_o eat_v and_o drink_v make_v himself_o a_o big_a man_n though_o he_o can_v not_o at_o the_o first_o make_v himself_o a_o man_n even_o so_o a_o sinner_n have_v his_o first_o justification_n may_v afterward_o by_o grace_n make_v himself_o more_o just_a therefore_o they_o hold_v these_o two_o thing_n i._o that_o good_a work_n be_v meritorious_a cause_n of_o the_o second_o justification_n which_o they_o term_v actual_a ii_o that_o good_a work_n be_v mean_n to_o increase_v first_o justification_n which_o they_o call_v habitual_a now_o let_v we_o see_v how_o far_o forth_o we_o must_v join_v with_o they_o in_o this_o point_n our_o consent_n therefore_o stand_v in_o three_o conclusion_n i._o that_o good_a work_n do_v by_o they_o that_o be_v justify_v do_v please_v god_n and_o be_v approve_v of_o he_o and_o therefore_o have_v a_o reward_n ii_o good_a work_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n two_o way_n first_o not_o as_o cause_n thereof_o either_o conseruant_a adiuvant_fw-la or_o procreant_a but_o only_o as_o consequent_n of_o faith_n in_o that_o they_o be_v inseparable_a companion_n and_o fruit_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v indeed_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n second_o they_o be_v necessary_a as_o mark_n in_o a_o way_n and_o as_o the_o way_n itself_o direct_v we_o unto_o eternal_a life_n iii_o we_o hold_v and_o believe_v that_o the_o righteous_a

all_o which_o he_o shuffle_v in_o rather_o to_o delude_v our_o argument_n then_o for_o that_o they_o esteem_v much_o of_o good_a work_n which_o they_o hold_v to_o be_v no_o better_o then_o deadly_a

you_o present_o afford_v we_o another_o example_n by_o put_v in_o these_o word_n before_o man_n to_o make_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o we_o give_v no_o place_n to_o good_a work_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n whereas_o 88_o master_n perkins_n profess_v that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n even_o before_o god_n not_o only_o before_o man_n as_o you_o write_v speaker_n a._n w._n to_o

we_o maintain_v that_o the_o imperfect_a work_n of_o the_o regenerate_a be_v bring_v forth_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o for_o all_o their_o imperfection_n be_v accept_v and_o shall_v be_v reward_v by_o god_n our_o father_n in_o heaven_n speaker_n w._n p._n thus_o far_o we_o join_v with_o they_o and_o the_o very_a difference_n be_v this_o they_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n as_o by_o cause_n thereof_o we_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n as_o by_o sign_n and_o fruit_n of_o our_o justification_n before_o god_n and_o no_o otherwise_o and_o in_o this_o
