righteousness_n by_o who_o stripe_n we_o be_v heal_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 7._o his_o son_n cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n he_o have_v love_v we_o and_o 5._o wash_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n in_o his_o blood_n and_o make_v we_o king_n and_o priest_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n as_o these_o place_n attribute_v our_o justification_n and_o salvation_n only_o to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o merit_n so_o other_o do_v detract_v and_o take_v the_o same_o from_o our_o work_n and_o deserve_n to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o but_o believe_v 5._o in_o he_o that_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a his_o faith_n be_v count_v for_o righteousness_n if_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n it_o be_v no_o more_o of_o work_n or_o else_o 6._o be_v grace_n no_o more_o grace_n but_o if_o it_o be_v of_o work_n it_o

seem_v sufficient_a to_o answer_v this_o article_n yet_o i_o will_v say_v something_o to_o this_o syllogism_n to_o the_o mayor_n or_o first_o proposition_n i_o answer_v that_o with_o man_n wage_n be_v give_v for_o work_n but_o with_o god_n who_o thought_n be_v not_o as_o our_o thought_n nor_o way_n as_o our_o way_n it_o be_v 8._o otherways_o man_n may_v do_v labour_n and_o service_n to_o man_n which_o may_v merit_v and_o deserve_v by_o equity_n and_o justice_n wage_n and_o reward_n for_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o proportion_n between_o the_o service_n and_o reward_n and_o also_o a_o benefit_n and_o commodity_n come_v to_o he_o to_o who_o the_o service_n be_v do_v as_o in_o this_o example_n here_o allege_v the_o lord_n deputie_n or_o some_o other_o may_v do_v some_o such_o singular_a service_n in_o ireland_n that_o if_o her_o majesty_n shall_v bestow_v upon_o he_o 1000_o pound_n a_o year_n he_o may_v in_o some_o proportion_n deserve_v it_o and_o her_o majesty_n may_v receive_v double_a benefit_n by_o it_o but_o can_v we_o do_v any_o work_n that_o can_v either_o merit_n and_o deserve_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n or_o bring_v any_o benefit_n unto_o god_n david_n say_v my_o welldoing_a extend_v not_o to_o thou_o and_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o all_o 18._o the_o affliction_n of_o this_o present_a life_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o the_o glory_n that_o shall_v be_v show_v unto_o we_o so_o may_v i_o say_v that_o all_o our_o imperfect_a and_o stain_a work_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n which_o we_o have_v not_o deserve_v but_o jesus_n christ_n by_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n have_v purchase_v for_o us._n can_v a_o bond_n servant_n by_o any_o service_n look_v to_o deserve_v a_o earthly_a kingdom_n and_o can_v we_o which_o be_v bond_n servant_n to_o god_n in_o respect_n both_o of_o creation_n and_o of_o redemption_n look_v to_o deserve_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n christ_n our_o saviour_n say_v do_v he_o thank_v that_o servant_n because_o he_o do_v that_o which_o be_v command_v unto_o he_o i_o trow_v not_o so_o 9_o likewise_o you_o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v you_o say_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n we_o have_v do_v that_o which_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v if_o he_o that_o have_v do_v all_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v must_v confess_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o unprofitable_a servant_n how_o much_o more_o must_v we_o confess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n who_o have_v both_o omit_v many_o thing_n command_v and_o commit_v many_o great_a and_o grievous_a sin_n prohibit_v so_o say_v hierome_n si_fw-la inutilis_fw-la est_fw-la qui_fw-la fecit_fw-la omne_fw-la quid_fw-la de_fw-la illo_fw-la dicendum_fw-la pelagian_a est_fw-la qui_fw-la

trust_v in_o our_o own_o merit_n but_o in_o god_n mercy_n which_o import_v our_o misery_n and_o not_o worthiness_n but_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o your_o minor_n you_o allege_v the_o say_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n call_v the_o labourer_n and_o give_v they_o 8._o their_o wage_n i_o grant_v that_o god_n do_v give_v to_o they_o that_o labour_n in_o his_o vineyard_n a_o reward_n which_o be_v call_v wage_n because_o it_o follow_v piety_n and_o good_a work_n as_o outward_a wage_n follow_v labour_n but_o that_o this_o heavenly_a wage_n be_v not_o deserve_v by_o our_o work_n as_o that_o

a_o wage_n of_o work_n to_o your_o other_o place_n apocal._n 20._o 12._o and_o 1._o cor._n 3._o 8._o i_o say_v with_o s._n paul_n that_o god_n will_v reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o

upon_o the_o soul_n of_o every_o man_n that_o do_v evil_a but_o you_o will_v say_v why_o be_v not_o everlasting_a life_n the_o wage_n of_o good_a work_n as_o everlasting_a death_n be_v of_o evil_a work_n and_o sin_n i_o answer_v that_o our_o evil_a work_n be_v simple_o evil_a and_o be_v transgression_n of_o god_n righteous_a law_n offend_v his_o infinite_a majesty_n provoke_v his_o infinite_a wrath_n and_o deserve_v infinite_a pain_n and_o punishment_n but_o our_o work_n be_v not_o simple_o and_o perfect_o good_a but_o be_v imperfect_a and_o be_v stain_v with_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o finfull_a nature_n as_o i_o have_v before_o declare_v and_o therefore_o can_v satisfy_v god_n infinite_a justice_n nor_o pacify_v his_o infinite_a anger_n nor_o deserve_v his_o infinite_a glory_n but_o rather_o require_v god_n great_a mercy_n as_o have_v be_v show_v and_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o six_o to_o the_o roman_n have_v say_v that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n do_v not_o say_v which_o have_v be_v most_o meet_a to_o have_v be_v say_v if_o this_o pharisaical_a doctrine_n 23._o be_v true_a the_o wage_n of_o good_a work_n be_v eternal_a life_n but_o he_o say_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n as_o also_o oecumenius_n do_v well_o observe_v you_o confident_o affirm_v that_o the_o protestant_n who_o be_v enemy_n to_o merit_n shall_v never_o attain_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n which_o be_v purchase_v by_o good_a work_n and_o merit_n where_o first_o i_o will_v advise_v you_o to_o

be_v elect_v of_o god_n which_o gift_n of_o god_n spirit_n can_v not_o be_v in_o they_o without_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n now_o by_o this_o man_n divinity_n what_o a_o madness_n be_v it_o for_o he_o to_o pray_v for_o grace_n unto_o they_o who_o he_o do_v believe_v to_o be_v endue_v with_o god_n grace_n already_o and_o where_o as_o saint_n john_n say_v these_o thing_n have_v i_o write_v unto_o you_o that_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n 13._o of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o you_o may_v know_v that_o you_o have_v eternal_a life_n and_o that_o you_o may_v believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o this_o man_n deep_a doctrine_n it_o may_v seem_v madness_n for_o saint_n john_n to_o write_v unto_o they_o that_o do_v believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o they_o shall_v believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o it_o seem_v not_o so_o to_o s._n john_n who_o write_v to_o they_o that_o as_o they_o have_v bless_o begin_v to_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o they_o may_v still_o continue_v grow_v and_o increase_v in_o the_o same_o faith_n moreover_o also_o i_o will_v ask_v of_o this_o man_n and_o his_o fellow_n whether_o they_o pray_v do_v believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n if_o they_o do_v not_o then_o be_v they_o infidel_n and_o deny_v the_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n i_o believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n which_o before_o he_o false_o object_v to_o us._n if_o they_o do_v believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n why_o do_v they_o then_o by_o this_o man_n doctrine_n pray_v for_o it_o if_o he_o say_v that_o he_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v in_o generality_n a_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n but_o particular_o he_o be_v not_o assure_v by_o faith_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o his_o own_o sin_n then_o what_o do_v his_o faith_n differ_v from_o the_o devil_n faith_n who_o believe_v and_o tremble_v as_o saint_n james_n say_v and_o what_o be_v this_o his_o doubt_v but_o as_o he_o himself_o here_o say_v flat_a infidelity_n 1._o and_o no_o marvel_n though_o these_o man_n feel_v in_o their_o heart_n no_o assurance_n of_o faith_n for_o that_o they_o ground_n it_o not_o upon_o the_o unmoveable_a rock_n of_o god_n promise_n but_o upon_o the_o unsure_a sand_n of_o their_o own_o work_n and_o satisfaction_n by_o the_o which_o indeed_o neither_o can_v their_o faith_n be_v assure_v nor_o their_o conscience_n quiet_v the_o which_o false_a doctrine_n while_o they_o believe_v i_o will_v know_v how_o they_o can_v ask_v forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n for_o whosoever_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o god_n for_o they_o need_v not_o to_o ask_v forgiveness_n of_o they_o but_o the_o papist_n maintain_v that_o they_o make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o god_n for_o they_o as_o i_o have_v before_o show_v therefore_o i_o may_v much_o more_o just_o say_v than_o he_o do_v here_o that_o it_o be_v madness_n to_o ask_v forgiveness_n of_o they_o for_o what_o
