i_o can_v well_o have_v pardon_v you_o the_o obmyssyon_n of_o the_o subtle_a question_n you_o use_v therein_o search_v curious_o the_o house_n wherein_o chryst_n dwell_v item_n what_o make_v we_o of_o

be_v jesus_n chryst_n to_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o the_o hart_n of_o man_n as_o you_o make_v he_o b._n 4._o 42_o touch_v your_o place_n of_o justify_v faith_n i_o understande_v not_o your_o language_n where_o you_o say_v that_o only_a faith_n by_o mean_a whereof_o we_o take_v as_o of_o a_o hand_n the_o benefit_n of_o jesus_n chryste_n too_o obtain_v justification_n regeneration_n and_o

atteinement_n of_o eternal_a life_n but_o i_o have_v rather_o that_o without_o so_o many_o argument_n confutation_n and_o subtlety_n you_o have_v show_v to_o the_o poor_a and_o ignorant_a people_n what_o be_v the_o christian_n justice_n and_o by_o what_o mean_v she_o be_v give_v to_o us._n b._n 5._o 44_o touch_v the_o point_n of_o good_a work_n you_o say_v that_o the_o work_n which_o man_n

regeneration_n and_o touch_v the_o rest_n of_o your_o question_n whether_o good_a work_n concur_v in_o justification_n as_o a_o cause_n formal_a or_o efficient_a the_o simple_a people_n have_v not_o to_o do_v content_v themselves_o with_o this_o beléef_n that_o regeneration_n &_o faith_n without_o good_a work_n be_v a_o mere_a hypocrisy_n and_o thing_n dead_a and_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a

but_o we_o will_v here_o maintain_v that_o it_o be_v a_o audacity_n most_o curse_v to_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o law_n of_o our_o god_n any_o one_o word_n see_v special_o that_o that_o sum_n and_o content_n of_o commandment_n be_v so_o short_a and_o compendious_a that_o it_o contain_v but_o ten_o commandment_n the_o which_o if_o god_n will_v have_v abridge_v he_o know_v better_o how_o to_o do_v it_o than_o we_o and_o therefore_o such_o as_o undertake_v to_o correct_v his_o stile_n and_o accuse_v he_o of_o prolixity_n give_v sufficient_a proof_n of_o their_o abominable_a temeritie_n 46_o
