Wherein by the waie is shewed, how farre wee are behinde, not onely our fore-fathers in good workes, but also many other creatures in the endes of our creation: with the difference betwixt the pretenced [sic] good workes of the Antichristian Papist, and the good workes of the Christian Protestant.

notwithstanding_o all_o that_o have_v or_o can_v be_v say_v to_o this_o purpose_n there_o be_v some_o atheist_n that_o hold_v and_o also_o teach_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v &_o have_v shed_v his_o

and_o a_o good_a tree_n can_v bring_v forth_o bad_a fruit_n nor_o a_o bad_a tree_n good_a fruit_n to_o the_o same_o effect_n christ_n tell_v we_o in_o another_o place_n that_o not_o every_o one_o

a_o naked_a &_o bare_a faith_n as_o long_o as_o we_o will_v i_o be_o full_o persuade_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o if_o we_o have_v no_o other_o faith_n than_o such_o as_o bring_v forth_o no_o good_a work_n we_o can_v never_o be_v save_v by_o it_o for_o a_o true_a lively_a and_o justify_v faith_n can_v no_o more_o be_v without_o good_a work_n than_o the_o sun_n without_o light_n or_o

due_a place_n &_o now_o to_o return_v to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n it_o be_v tell_v saint_n paul_n how_o that_o some_o preach_v christ_n upon_o envy_n some_o of_o malice_n some_o of_o pride_n some_o of_o one_o affection_n and_o some_o of_o a_o other_o who_o
they_o they_o can_v have_v none_o lest_o there_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o they_o both_o whereby_o we_o see_v that_o as_o no_o man_n can_v buy_v the_o good_a work_n of_o another_o so_o no_o man_n have_v enough_o to_o save_v himself_o the_o apostle_n peter_n say_v there_o be_v no_o other_o name_n give_v under_o heaven_n whereby_o man_n can_v be_v save_v but_o only_o jesus_n christ._n and_o if_o good_a work_n can_v save_v we_o as_o the_o same_o apostle_n reason_v then_o have_v christ_n die_v in_o vain_a for_o how_o vain_a a_o thing_n have_v it_o be_v for_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n to_o have_v send_v his_o own_o son_n into_o this_o miserable_a world_n to_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o &_o to_o shed_v his_o most_o precious_a blood_n for_o we_o if_o we_o can_v have_v justify_v ourselves_o or_o purchase_v our_o salvation_n either_o through_o our_o inherent_a righteousness_n as_o the_o papist_n must_v blasphemous_o affirm_v by_o our_o merit_n or_o by_o any_o other_o mean_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o paul_n be_v bold_a to_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v justify_v say_v he_o by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ._n and_o to_o the_o galath_n he_o say_v further_a that_o as_o many_o as_o do_v rely_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n 5._o be_v under_o the_o curse_n and_o banish_v from_o grace_n to_o which_o the_o prophet_n abacuc_n seem_v to_o agree_v say_v the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n but_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o to_o the_o apostle_n james_n who_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o iustification_n one_o absolute_a before_o god_n the_o other_o demonstrative_a before_o the_o world_n paul_n write_v that_o we_o be_v iustify_v by_o faith_n only_o mean_v absolute_o before_o god_n james_n say_v we_o be_v iustify_v by_o work_n mean_v demonstrative_o before_o the_o world_n again_o paul_n wright_v of_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n james_n of_o the_o effect_n paul_n have_v to_o do_v with_o they_o that_o contemn_v faith_n as_o the_o heathen_a jew_n and_o turk_n do_v now_o and_o therefore_o he_o attribute_v and_o that_o worthy_o justification_n to_o faith_n only_o james_n he_o have_v to_o do_v with_o they_o that_o contemn_v good_a work_n as_o thing_n of_o no_o value_n affirm_v that_o bare_a faith_n alone_o be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n &_o therefore_o he_o attribute_v the_o more_o to_o work_n thereby_o to_o draw_v they_o to_o the_o practise_v of_o they_o again_o paul_n speak_v of_o such_o work_n as_o go_v before_o justification_n james_n of_o such_o as_o follow_v after_o paul_n mean_v not_o of_o a_o bare_a and_o naked_a faith_n without_o good_a work_n but_o of_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o can_v no_o more_o be_v without_o good_a work_n than_o the_o sun_n without_o light_n or_o the_o fire_n without_o heat_n james_n he_o mean_v of_o a_o bare_a naked_a and_o dead_a faith_n such_o as_o the_o very_a devil_n have_v &_o as_o the_o very_a heathen_a &_o infidel_n have_v so_o that_o in_o substance_n &_o matter_n they_o both_o mean_v and_o speak_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n for_o true_o as_o faith_n be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n before_o god_n so_o our_o work_n be_v the_o effect_n or_o fruit_n issue_v thereout_o whereby_o we_o be_v know_v to_o be_v justify_v before_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o brag_v of_o our_o faith_n as_o much_o as_o we_o will_v if_o it_o be_v but_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o bring_v forth_o no_o good_a work_n we_o can_v never_o be_v save_v by_o it_o this_o be_v not_o that_o iustifieng_v faith_n which_o paul_n speak_v of_o nor_o which_o the_o child_n of_o god_n have_v but_o a_o dead_a faith_n a_o barren_a faith_n a_o historical_a faith_n which_o the_o devil_n and_o all_o reprobate_n have_v but_o here_o perchance_o some_o captious_a sophister_n will_v ask_v i_o if_o we_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o good_a work_n to_o '_o what_o end_n then_o shall_v we_o do_v they_o to_o who_o i_o answer_v we_o be_v to_o do_v good_a work_n for_o six_o cause_n especial_o first_o for_o the_o love_n &_o obedience_n which_o we_o owe_v unto_o god_n second_o for_o the_o mutual_a love_n &_o brotherly_a charity_n which_o we_o bear_v one_o towards_o a_o other_o three_o to_o make_v our_o salvation_n sure_a &_o certain_a unto_o we_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v make_v your_o salvation_n sure_a by_o good_a work_n four_o for_o the_o zeal_n we_o have_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n fift_o to_o draw_v other_o from_o sin_n to_o the_o practife_n of_o godliness_n by_o our_o good_a example_n and_o sixth_o for_o the_o increase_n of_o our_o own_o reward_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v where_o no_o good_a work_n such_o be_v the_o bountiful_a liberality_n and_o merciful_a beneficence_n of_o our_o good_a god_n towards_o we_o miserable_a sinner_n shall_v be_v leave_v unrewarded_a and_o albeit_o that_o good_a work_n be_v no_o cause_n of_o our_o justification_n nor_o that_o thou_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o they_o yet_o can_v thou_o never_o be_v save_v without_o they_o and_o therefore_o will_v i_o wish_v every_o one_o that_o have_v a_o care_n of_o his_o salvation_n to_o labour_v study_n &_o

we_o never_o fast_v and_o that_o our_o preacher_n do_v preach_v against_o it_o as_o against_o a_o thing_n altogether_o unlawful_a but_o as_o they_o speak_v truth_n in_o this_o so_o let_v they_o be_v

so_o the_o apostle_n teach_v say_v now_o the_o spirit_n speak_v evident_o 4●_n that_o in_o the_o late_a day_n some_o shall_v depart_v from_o the_o faith_n and_o shall_v give_v heed_n to_o spirit_n of_o error_n &_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n which_o speak_v lie_n through_o hypocrisy_n and_o have_v their_o conscience_n burn_v with_o a_o hot_a iron_n forbid_v to_o marry_v and_o command_v to_o

by_o prayer_n so_o that_o we_o hold_v it_o a_o matter_n mere_o indifferent_a to_o eat_v or_o not_o to_o eat_v at_o all_o time_n we_o repose_v no_o religion_n in_o eat_v or_o drink_v but_o hold_v it_o rather_o for_o a_o matter_n of_o policy_n than_o of_o divinity_n our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v there_o be_v nothing_o that_o enter_v into_o man_n that_o defile_v the_o man_n but_o those_o thing_n which_o come_v out_o of_o a_o man_n those_o defile_v a_o man_n it_o be_v say_v also_o in_o another_o place_n all_o thing_n be_v clean_o to_o those_o that_o be_v clean_o and_o further_o we_o read_v in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o act_n how_o the_o apostle_n paul_n himself_o be_v command_v in_o a_o vision_n as_o it_o be_v by_o oracle_n from_o heaven_n to_o eat_v of_o all_o meat_n contain_v in_o the_o sheet_n be_v also_o forbid_v to_o call_v that_o unclean_a which_o god_n have_v sanctify_v &_o make_v clean_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v we_o hold_v it_o lawful_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o eat_v all_o meat_n at_o all_o time_n yea_o though_o it_o be_v in_o lent_n itself_o but_o yet_o if_o it_o please_v the_o prince_n for_o policy_n sake_n and_o for_o a_o common_a wealth_n for_o that_o at_o that_o time_n of_o the_o year_n all_o creature_n do_v breed_v and_o engender_v together_o and_o therefore_o beside_o that_o they_o be_v not_o so_o wholesome_a as_o at_o other_o time_n of_o the_o year_n if_o they_o shall_v then_o be_v kill_v and_o eat_v as_o they_o be_v at_o other_o time_n there_o must_v needs_o grow_v great_a dearth_n &_o scarcity_n of_o they_o to_o command_v we_o to_o abstain_v from_o eat_v of_o flesh_n that_o time_n of_o the_o year_n only_o we_o willing_o obey_v it_o as_o a_o matter_n of_o policy_n and_o not_o of_o divinity_n religion_n or_o conscience_n and_o albeit_o it_o be_v object_v that_o christ_n fast_v 40._o day_n and_o 40._o night_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o of_o necessity_n we_o shall_v abstain_v from_o flesh_n only_o for_o so_o long_o no_o more_o than_o it_o follow_v that_o we_o must_v abstain_v from_o all_o other_o meat_n because_o christ_n do_v so_o we_o have_v no_o one_o syllable_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o our_o warrant_n to_o do_v so_o nay_o if_o we_o will_v imitate_v christ_n example_n in_o this_o we_o be_v not_o able_a for_o can_v we_o abstain_v from_o all_o kind_n of_o sustenance_n whatsoever_o 40._o day_n and_o 40._o night_n as_o christ_n do_v and_o yet_o if_o we_o will_v follow_v strict_o his_o example_n we_o must_v do_v so_o therefore_o it_o be_v true_a omnis_fw-la christi_fw-la actio_fw-la nostra_fw-la

other_o sound_v that_o way_n to_o conclude_v therefore_o we_o hold_v that_o fast_v from_o meat_n and_o drink_n be_v both_o good_a and_o godly_a and_o many_o time_n very_o necessary_a to_o tame_v the_o
