the_o same_o satisfaction_n which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v make_v to_o god_n his_o father_n may_v be_v communicate_v and_o appile_v to_o us._n the_o four_o dialogue_n be_v of_o the_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n of_o man._n of_o the_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o the_o justification_n thereby_o mathew_n which_o be_v the_o mean_a whereby_o to_o come_v to_o that_o communication_n whereof_o thou_o have_v even_o now_o speak_v and_o by_o the_o which_o we_o must_v communicate_v with_o jesus_n christ_n c._n pe._n there_o be_v none_o other_o but_o the_o only_a faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o by_o the_o same_o we_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n and_o not_o by_o our_o work_n neither_o in_o all_o nor_o in_o part_n m._n what_o be_v it_o to_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n p._n it_o be_v to_o be_v account_v for_o just_a at_o his_o judgement_n as_o if_o we_o have_v never_o sin_v m._n how_o may_v this_o be_v do_v by_o the_o mean_a of_o faith_n p._n because_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o who_o it_o be_v give_v we_o do_v join_v we_o with_o christ_n as_o member_n of_o his_o body_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o same_o faith_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o the_o justice_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o that_o ever_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o be_v impute_v and_o ascribe_v to_o we_o as_o though_o it_o be_v our_o own_o proper_a of_o the_o justification_n by_o faith_n &_o by_o work_n m._n why_o be_v this_o honour_n rather_o give_v to_o faith_n than_o to_o work_n p._n because_o there_o be_v no_o justice_n that_o may_v satisfy_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n unless_o it_o be_v perfect_v as_o be_v that_o of_o jesus_n christ_n m._n why_o may_v not_o that_o of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v as_o well_o allow_v unto_o we_o by_o our_o work_n as_o by_o faith_n d._n p._n because_o that_o they_o be_v thing_n altogether_o contrary_a to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n &_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o a_o man_n own_o work_n m._n what_o contrariety_n be_v there_o in_o that_o p._n if_o that_o man_n can_v find_v justice_n in_o himself_o and_o in_o his_o own_o work_n whereby_o he_o may_v satisfy_v unto_o god_n he_o shall_v then_o have_v no_o need_n of_o that_o of_o jesus_n christ_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n towards_o god_n by_o work_n m._n and_o if_o he_o may_v not_o satisfy_v in_o every_o point_n may_v he_o not_o yet_o at_o the_o least_o satisfy_v in_o part_n p._n if_o he_o can_v satisfy_v he_o in_o the_o whole_a no_o more_o can_v he_o in_o part_n m._n for_o what_o cause_n p._n chief_o for_o two_o cause_n m._n which_o be_v the_o first_o p._n it_o be_v that_o god_n receive_v no_o justice_n for_o satisfaction_n if_o it_o be_v not_o sound_a and_o perfect_a and_o worthy_a of_o his_o majesty_n as_o we_o have_v already_o touch_v m._n which_o be_v the_o other_o p._n it_o be_v that_o man_n be_v naught_o and_o unjust_a of_o his_o nature_n can_v do_v no_o work_n that_o may_v be_v just_a as_o we_o have_v also_o say_v if_o he_o be_v not_o first_o make_v good_a and_o just_a of_o the_o work_n whereby_o man_n may_v satisfy_v at_o the_o judgement_n of_o god._n m._n do_v thou_o mean_v by_o this_o that_o the_o good_a and_o just_a work_n make_v not_o the_o man_n good_a and_o just_a p._n i_o do_v not_o altogether_o deny_v b_o but_o that_o the_o good_a &_o just_a work_n make_v the_o man_n good_a and_o just_a but_o i_o say_v that_o man_n work_n can_v not_o do_v this_o because_o there_o proceed_v none_o such_o from_o he_o m._n which_o be_v then_o the_o work_n that_o may_v do_v this_o p._n that_o of_o jesus_n christ_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v heretofore_o which_o bring_v unto_o we_o this_o commodity_n when_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o he_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o faith_n as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v of_o the_o cause_n why_o justification_n be_v attribute_v to_o faith_n only_o m._n show_v i_o now_o for_o full_a resolution_n what_o be_v the_o chief_a cause_n why_o justification_n be_v ascribe_v to_o faith_n ●_o p._n because_o that_o in_o stead_n of_o bring_v to_o god_n any_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o man_n he_o bring_v he_o to_o jesus_n christ_n to_o receive_v of_o he_o thereby_o that_o which_o he_o can_v not_o find_v in_o himself_o m._n for_o what_o cause_n be_v this_o do_v ●_o p._n to_o the_o end_n that_o man_n may_v be_v find_v just_a before_o god_n not_o by_o his_o own_o justice_n for_o he_o can_v not_o but_o by_o that_o of_o jesus_n christ_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n by_o faith_n m._n thy_o meaning_n be_v then_o that_o this_o justice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n make_v a_o man_n just_a d._n before_o god_n as_o though_o he_o be_v whole_o innocent_a forsomuch_o as_o god_o esteem_v he_o for_o such_o a_o one_o accept_v the_o justice_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n for_o full_a satisfaction_n p._n it_o be_v so_o and_o it_o bring_v yet_o beside_o that_o a_o other_o very_o great_a commodity_n m._n what_o be_v it_o p._n it_o be_v that_o where_o as_o before_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o evil_a this_o faith_n do_v sanctify_v he_o dispose_v he_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n d_o and_o to_o all_o good_a work_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v serve_v to_o justice_n &_o to_o holiness_n where_o as_o before_o he_o serve_v to_o injustice_n and_o to_o sin_n m._n how_o be_v it_o that_o faith_n do_v sanctify_v man_n according_a to_o thy_o say_n p._n there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o consider_v in_o this_o sanctification_n m._n which_o be_v the_o first_o p._n it_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v take_v our_o own_o flesh_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o virgin_n in_o the_o which_o he_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v also_o sanctify_v it_o in_o he_o of_o which_o thing_n beside_o the_o testimony_n that_o we_o have_v of_o the_o angel_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v yet_o yield_v more_o ample_a testimony_n in_o the_o baptism_n of_o jesus_n christ_n when_o in_o form_n of_o a_o dove_n he_o do_v descend_v upon_o he_o which_o be_v our_o head_n in_o who_o all_o his_o member_n be_v forthwith_o sanctify_v m._n which_o be_v the_o other_o point_n p._n it_o be_v that_o faith_n which_o embrace_v and_o receive_v whole_o jesus_n christ_n with_o all_o his_o gift_n and_o grace_n be_v never_o in_o man_n without_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o nor_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o without_o his_o fruit_n which_o be_v altogether_o contrary_a to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o corrupt_a man_n that_o be_v not_o regenerate_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god._n of_o the_o true_a spring_n of_o good_a work_n m_o declare_v unto_o i_o if_o thou_o understand_v by_o this_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o good_a work_n and_o the_o good_a root_n which_o make_v man_n a_o good_a tree_n to_o bear_v good_a fruit_n where_o as_o before_o he_o be_v a_o evil_a tree_n and_o bare_a evil_a fruit_n p._n it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o m._n i_o think_v then_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o true_a christian_a faith_n do_v call_v it_o the_o live_n and_o work_v say_v through_o charity_n d._n and_o why_o saint_n james_n say_v that_o the_o faith_n that_o be_v without_o work_n be_v dead_a p._n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n of_o it_o of_o the_o accomplish_n of_o the_o law_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o the_o difference_n that_o be_v between_o the_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n of_o a_o christian_a man._n m._n sing_v then_o that_o man_n be_v so_o reform_v by_o the_o mean_a of_o faith_n thou_o will_v then_o say_v that_o he_o be_v otherwise_o dispose_v to_o obey_v the_o law_n of_o god_n than_o he_o be_v before_o when_o he_o be_v yet_o in_o his_o own_o natural_a a_o p._n it_o be_v easy_a to_o understand_v by_o that_o which_o we_o have_v already_o say_v m._n may_v we_o then_o in_o no_o wise_n obey_v the_o law_n of_o god_n except_o that_o we_o be_v first_o regenerate_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o reform_v to_o his_o image_n p._n no_o in_o deed_n m._n if_o we_o can_v in_o no_o sort_n obey_v we_o be_v then_o far_o off_o from_o yield_v perfect_v obedience_n to_o the_o whole_a law_n p._n it_o be_v true_a m._n what_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o p._n it_o be_v for_o that_o that_o our_o regeneration_n and_o reformation_n be_v never_o full_o perfect_v in_o we_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v wrap_v in_o this_o corruptable_a flesh_n in_o this_o world_n m._n what_o other_o remedy_n be_v there_o then_o p._n it_o be_v to_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o justification_n which_o we_o have_v already_o obtain_v through_o the_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n by_o the_o
if_o it_o be_v a_o work_n whereby_o thy_o neighbour_n receive_v any_o comfort_n or_o help_v in_o his_o person_n it_o be_v then_o so_o much_o the_o more_o profitable_a wherefore_o albeit_o that_o the_o work_n be_v not_o such_o as_o god_n require_v yet_o forsomuch_o as_o it_o serve_v somewhat_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o edification_n of_o our_o neighbour_n god_n be_v so_o good_a that_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v unrecompensed_a t._n what_o recompense_n will_v he_o then_o give_v he_o d._n that_o which_o the_o worker_n require_v he_o desire_v glory_n among_o man_n and_o his_o particular_a commodity_n which_o thing_n he_o do_v often_o time_n receive_v for_o his_o hire_n which_o extend_v no_o further_o than_o his_o life_n for_o he_o have_v no_o further_a regard_n at_o all_o 6._o t._n by_o this_o account_n than_o thou_o will_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v better_a yet_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v assist_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o his_o church_n and_o also_o the_o poor_a and_o that_o he_o shall_v do_v such_o like_a work_n although_o that_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o thorough_o such_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v rather_o than_o to_o do_v nothing_o at_o all_o or_o to_o the_o contrary_a so_o that_o he_o do_v it_o not_o in_o any_o wise_a to_o the_o intent_n to_o dishonour_n god_n and_o of_o a_o determinate_a purpose_n or_o else_o rather_o to_o hurt_v his_o neighbour_n than_o to_o profit_v he_o d._n it_o be_v true_a for_o we_o have_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n many_o example_n which_o declare_v that_o god_n have_v often_o time_n in_o this_o world_n do_v great_a good_a to_o many_o that_o have_v not_o have_v such_o heart_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v have_v because_o that_o their_o work_n do_v serve_v somewhat_o to_o his_o glory_n and_o to_o the_o relief_n of_o his_o people_n in_o what_o sort_n the_o heart_n of_o man_n may_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o no_o and_o may_v be_v condemn_v or_o absolve_v by_o the_o same_o without_o the_o work_n which_o god_n require_v of_o he_o in_o the_o same_o t._n sing_v that_o the_o work_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v good_a can_v please_v god_n but_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o heart_n from_o whence_o they_o do_v proceed_v do_v please_v he_o and_o that_o the_o heart_n do_v make_v the_o work_n to_o be_v accept_v or_o refuse_v at_o his_o hand_n demand_n i_o do_v first_o ask_v thou_o if_o god_o can_v content_n himself_o without_o the_o work_n with_o the_o heart_n alone_o the_o other_o be_v if_o the_o work_n which_o of_o himself_o be_v evil_a may_v please_v he_o or_o else_o may_v be_v suffer_v by_o he_o when_o he_o that_o do_v it_o do_v it_o not_o for_o any_o evil_a purpose_n but_o do_v it_o of_o force_n against_o his_o heart_n or_o else_o because_o he_o think_v it_o not_o to_o be_v evil_a the_o third_o to_o know_v in_o deed_n if_o god_o do_v condemn_v the_o wicked_a think_v although_o it_o be_v not_o put_v in_o execution_n and_o whether_o it_o do_v as_o much_o displease_v he_o as_o if_o the_o effect_n be_v join_v with_o it_o d._n as_o touch_v the_o first_o it_o be_v sure_a that_o if_o god_n have_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n he_o have_v the_o whole_a therefore_o it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o the_o heart_n do_v offer_v and_o present_v unto_o he_o the_o work_n that_o he_o require_v of_o he_o wherefore_o the_o work_n may_v not_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o heart_n no_o more_o than_o the_o fruit_n from_o the_o tree_n 12._o for_o even_o so_o as_o the_o good_a tree_n never_o fail_v to_o bring_v forth_o his_o fruit_n in_o his_o due_a time_n and_o season_n so_o do_v the_o good_a heart_n at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o season_n that_o god_o require_v it_o if_o he_o do_v it_o not_o the_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o he_o want_v mean_a to_o do_v it_o and_o also_o power_n or_o else_o that_o he_o have_v not_o a_o will_v to_o do_v it_o if_o he_o have_v a_o will_n and_o have_v no_o power_n and_o mean_n to_o do_v it_o that_o will_v be_v good_a god_n do_v accept_v and_o esteem_v it_o as_o well_o as_o if_o the_o fact_n be_v do_v the_o like_a do_v he_o also_o if_o the_o will_v be_v wicked_a albeit_o that_o it_o have_v not_o the_o power_n to_o put_v his_o wicked_a thought_n in_o execution_n wherefore_o the_o wicked_a work_n do_v not_o only_o displease_v god_n but_o also_o the_o wicked_a will_n and_o affection_n in_o sort_n that_o if_o it_o

compare_v to_o a_o murderer_n he_o that_o hate_v his_o brother_n and_o esteem_v he_o a_o adulterer_n that_o behold_v a_o other_o man_n wife_n covet_v she_o we_o must_v understand_v the_o like_a of_o
