you_o be_v save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v 2_o tim._n 1._o 9_o who_o have_v save_v

that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n to_o declare_v his_o righteousness_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o

which_o believe_v in_o jesus_n where_o be_v boast_v then_o it_o be_v exclude_v by_o what_o law_n of_o work_n nay_o but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v

of_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n for_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v i_o do_v not_o frustrate_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n for_o if_o

when_o by_o noah_n that_o preacher_n of_o righteousness_n he_o give_v those_o treatable_a warning_n to_o those_o that_o make_v no_o use_n of_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n in_o their_o heart_n to_o the_o spirit_n or_o soul_n of_o those_o that_o be_v then_o alive_a before_o the_o flood_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o with_o impression_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a but_o through_o their_o

purpose_n this_o be_v the_o plain_a resolution_n of_o the_o present_a quere_z that_o the_o word_n prison_n here_o make_v use_v of_o be_v only_o a_o metaphorical_a epithet_n give_v to_o the_o body_n

to_o they_o two_o sort_n of_o preacher_n some_o who_o endeavour_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o preach_v the_o pure_a simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o feed_v the_o flock_n of_o christ_n with_o sound_n and_o wholesome_a doctrine_n and_o other_o who_o pretend_v to_o great_a part_n and_o knowledge_n than_o other_o man_n and_o these_o with_o superfluous_a flourish_n and_o empty_a gloss_n endeavour_v to_o win_v the_o heart_n of_o their_o hearer_n by_o their_o worldly_a wisdom_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o as_o the_o other_o study_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o a_o good_a

as_o they_o can_v and_o by_o indulge_v they_o in_o some_o petty_a matter_n as_o they_o call_v they_o that_o the_o gospel_n may_v not_o seem_v too_o heavy_a a_o burden_n to_o to_o they_o they_o will_v tell_v the_o people_n of_o work_n of_o supererogation_n some_o thing_n they_o may_v do_v more_o than_o they_o be_v command_v to_o do_v and_o so_o bring_v in_o worship_v of_o angel_n under_o a_o
