he_o make_v thereby_o never_o a_o deal_n the_o more_o holy_a or_o the_o more_o a_o christian_n for_o this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o faith_n only_o yea_o rather_o unless_o he_o do_v first_o believe_v and_o be_v a_o christian_n before_o all_o his_o work_n will_v not_o be_v worth_a a_o straw_n but_o rather_o very_o wicked_a and_o damnable_a sin_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n these_o two_o say_n be_v true_a say_n namely_o good_a work_n do_v not_o make_v a_o good_a man_n but_o a_o good_a man_n do_v make_v the_o work_n to_o be_v good_a and_o evil_a work_n do_v not_o make_v a_o evil_a man_n but_o a_o evil_a man_n do_v make_v the_o work_n to_o be_v evil_a so_o that_o it_o behoove_v always_o that_o the_o substance_n or_o person_n be_v good_a first_o before_o all_o good_a work_n and_o that_o good_a work_n follow_v then_o by_o order_n and_o proceed_v from_o a_o good_a person_n as_o christ_n himself_o witness_v a_o evil_a tree_n do_v not_o bring_v good_a fruit_n and_o a_o good_a tree_n do_v not_o bring_v evil_a fruit_n for_o it_o be_v evident_o know_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o fruit_n do_v not_o bear_v the_o tree_n and_o that_o the_o tree_n do_v not_o grow_v in_o the_o fruit_n but_o contrariwise_o the_o tree_n do_v bear_v the_o fruit_n and_o the_o fruit_n do_v grow_v in_o the_o tree_n therefore_o as_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o tree_n be_v first_o before_o the_o fruit_n and_o that_o the_o fruit_n do_v not_o make_v the_o tree_n good_a or_o evil_n but_o contrary_o such_o as_o the_o tree_n be_v such_o be_v the_o fruit_n so_o be_v it_o necessary_a that_o the_o person_n or_o man_n himself_o be_v either_o good_a or_o bad_a first_o before_o he_o make_v a_o good_a or_o bad_a work_n and_o that_o his_o work_n make_v he_o neither_o good_a nor_o bad_a but_o the_o man_n himself_o make_v his_o own_o work_n good_a or_o bad_a semblable_a héereunto_o may_v we_o see_v in_o all_o occupation_n example_n a_o evil_a house_n or_o a_o good_a house_n do_v not_o make_v a_o evil_a or_o a_o good_a carpenter_n but_o a_o good_a or_o bad_a carpenter_n make_v a_o good_a or_o bad_a house_n and_o so_o general_o in_o all_o kind_n of_o manual_a occupation_n and_o science_n no_o piece_n of_o work_n do_v make_v the_o artificer_n good_a or_o bad_a but_o such_o as_o the_o artificer_n be_v such_o work_n make_v he_o even_o so_o fare_v it_o in_o the_o case_n of_o man_n work_n such_o as_o the_o person_n be_v either_o in_o faith_n or_o in_o unbelief_n such_o be_v his_o work_n if_o either_o do_v in_o faith_n and_o so_o good_a or_o do_v in_o unbelief_n &_o so_o evil_a but_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v not_o so_o to_o wit_n such_o as_o the_o work_n be_v such_o be_v the_o person_n make_v in_o faith_n or_o unbelief_n for_o as_o work_n do_v not_o make_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o believer_n so_o neither_o do_v they_o make_v a_o man_n righteous_a justify_v but_o faith_n as_o it_o make_v man_n beléeve_v and_o righteous_a so_o do_v it_o make_v his_o work_n to_o be_v good_a for_o as_o much_o therefore_o as_o work_n do_v not_o justify_v any_o man_n and_o that_o it_o behoove_v man_n to_o be_v righteous_a before_o he_o work_v any_o good_a work_n it_o appear_v most_o manifest_o that_o faith_n only_o by_o the_o mere_a mercy_n of_o god_n through_o christ_n jesus_n in_o his_o word_n do_v make_v worthy_a and_o sufficient_o justify_v and_o save_v the_o person_n and_o that_o a_o christian_a man_n need_v no_o work_n nor_o law_n at_o all_o thereby_o to_o attain_v salvation_n for_o that_o through_o faith_n he_o be_v free_a from_o all_o law_n and_o do_v free_o work_v all_o thing_n that_o he_o work_v of_o his_o own_o mere_a good_a will_n respect_v therein_o neither_o profit_n nor_o salvation_n but_o only_o the_o good_a will_n of_o god_n for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v now_o already_o full_o replenish_v and_o make_v safe_a by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n through_o his_o own_o faith_n even_o so_o no_o good_a work_n avail_v to_o righteousness_n and_o salvation_n to_o the_o unbelieving_a person_n on_o the_o other_o side_n work_n no_o evil_a work_n make_v he_o evil_a or_o damnable_a but_o his_o own_o unbelief_n which_o both_o make_v the_o tree_n evil_a and_o withal_o make_v the_o work_n evil_a and_o damnable_a whereupon_o in_o this_o that_o any_o person_n be_v make_v good_a or_o bad_a he_o do_v not_o receive_v this_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a by_o work_n but_o this_o his_o good_a or_o evil_n take_v beginning_n from_o the_o root_n of_o faith_n or_o unbelief_n as_o the_o wise_a man_n record_v the_o beginning_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o fall_v from_o god_n which_o be_v in_o effect_n to_o be_v unbelieving_a 11._o and_o paul_n in_o the_o 11_o to_o the_o hebrew_n it_o behoove_v he_o that_o come_v to_o god_n to_o believe_v the_o same_o also_o speak_v christ_n either_o make_v the_o tree_n good_a and_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o good_a or_o make_v the_o tree_n evil_a and_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o evil_a as_o if_o he_o may_v say_v who_o so_o will_v make_v good_a fruit_n must_v begin_v at_o the_o tree_n first_o &_o plant_v upon_o a_o good_a stock_n so_o who_o so_o will_v make_v good_a work_n must_v begin_v not_o at_o the_o work_n but_o at_o the_o believe_a which_o belief_n do_v make_v the_o person_n good_a for_o nothing_o make_v the_o person_n good_a but_o faith_n nor_o any_o thing_n make_v he_o evil_a but_o unbelief_n 7._o indeed_o this_o be_v true_a that_o by_o work_n man_n be_v make_v good_a or_o evil_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n but_o this_o be_v as_o much_o in_o effect_n as_o to_o do_v it_o to_o understand_v and_o let_v it_o be_v know_v who_o be_v good_a or_o who_o be_v evil_a whereof_o christ_n speak_v in_o the_o seven_o of_o matthew_n you_o shall_v know_v they_o by_o their_o fruit_n but_o this_o knowledge_n consist_v only_o in_o show_n

once_o so_o much_o mention_n of_o faith_n at_o all_o mask_v still_o in_o their_o own_o mismaze_n error_n always_o deceive_v and_o deceive_a other_o go_v forward_o from_o worse_a unto_o worse_a blind_a guide_n of_o the_o blind_a weary_v themselves_o with_o a_o multitude_n of_o work_n &_o yet_o never_o attain_v to_o true_a righteousness_n of_o who_o paul_n write_v in_o the_o 1._o 3._o to_o tim._n the_o 3._o chap._n have_v indeed_o a_o utter_a show_n of_o holiness_n but_o deny_v the_o power_n thereof_o always_o learning_n but_o never_o attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n therefore_o behoove_v he_o that_o will_v not_o wander_v out_o of_o the_o way_n with_o these_o blind_a guide_n to_o enter_v into_o a_o deep_a consideration_n than_o the_o utter_a show_n of_o work_n of_o law_n &_o doctrine_n of_o work_n but_o must_v rather_o with_o a_o quite_o contrary_a aspect_n pry_v into_o the_o person_n and_o note_v diligent_o the_o reason_n whereby_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o here_o shall_v he_o find_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o save_v not_o by_o work_n nor_o by_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o the_o promise_n of_o

for_o they_o be_v not_o now_o free_a but_o blasphemous_a to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n who_o only_a property_n be_v through_o faith_n to_o justify_v and_o save_v which_o thing_n work_n do_v affect_v

a_o true_a christian_a man_n than_o as_o amongst_o carpenter_n and_o artificer_n certain_a old_a post_n log_n or_o platform_n be_v frame_v to_o direct_v &_o raise_v up_o building_n by_o which_o be_v

so_o now_o we_o do_v neither_o abandon_n ceremony_n nor_o work_n but_o rather_o do_v allow_v they_o nevertheless_o we_o do_v utter_o abhor_v the_o vain_a opinion_n conceive_v of_o they_o lest_o that_o any_o man_n persuade_v himself_o that_o to_o observe_v they_o be_v the_o true_a righteousness_n as_o hypocrite_n do_v which_o do_v abuse_v and_o misspend_v their_o whole_a life_n in_o these_o
