the_o first_o in_o part_n i_o have_v clear_v it_o before_o but_o for_o further_a confirmation_n the_o apostle_n paul_n reason_n admirable_o and_o plain_o in_o this_o point_n say_v rom._n 15.6_o if_o salvation_n be_v of_o grace_n it_o be_v no_o more_o of_o work_n for_o else_o be_v grace_n no_o more_o grace_n and_o if_o it_o be_v of_o work_n it_o be_v no_o more_o of_o grace_n for_o else_o work_n be_v no_o more_o work_n but_o salvation_n be_v of_o grace_n for_o by_o grace_n you_o be_v save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o of_o

salvation_n be_v not_o of_o work_n again_o reason_n itself_o draw_v from_o the_o scripture_n do_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o we_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o our_o work_n for_o if_o any_o work_n do_v justify_v we_o they_o must_v be_v do_v either_o before_o or_o after_o justification_n but_o first_o no_o work_n do_v before_o the_o grace_n of_o justification_n can_v justify_v we_o because_o evil_a tree_n can_v bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n and_o be_v not_o do_v of_o faith_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v sin_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o do_v of_o faith_n be_v sin_n and_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n heb._n 11.6_o whereupon_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o all_o man_n before_o they_o be_v ingraft_v into_o christ_n by_o grace_n be_v the_o servant_n of_o sin_n far_o from_o righteousness_n and_o bring_v forth_o nothing_o but_o fruit_n deserve_v shame_n and_o death_n rom._n 6.20_o second_o our_o work_n do_v after_o grace_n reason_v itself_o show_v that_o they_o can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o grace_n for_o how_o can_v that_o which_o come_v after_o be_v any_o cause_n of_o that_o which_o go_v before_o the_o cause_n must_v precede_v the_o effect_n and_o so_o august_n tell_v we_o that_o good_a work_n do_v not_o go_v before_o he_o that_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v but_o do_v follow_v he_o that_o be_v already_o justify_v and_o therefore_o as_o good_a fruit_n can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o tree_n so_o good_a work_n can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o justification_n and_o that_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o i_o cite_v before_o rom._n 3.20_o make_v it_o clear_a by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v for_o first_o in_o the_o 9_o ver_fw-la he_o tell_v we_o that_o both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n be_v under_o sin_n because_o all_o be_v transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o all_o the_o world_n must_v be_v guilty_a before_o god_n and_o can_v no_o way_n be_v justify_v by_o pretend_v innocency_n in_o keep_v the_o law_n second_o he_o show_v the_o reason_n why_o no_o flesh_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n because_o the_o law_n convince_v we_o of_o sin_n for_o by_o the_o law_n come_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o law_n convince_v they_o that_o be_v under_o grace_n and_o which_o have_v the_o great_a measure_n of_o grace_n to_o be_v sinner_n phil._n 3.9_o therefore_o they_o that_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n by_o the_o help_n of_o grace_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n because_o the_o law_n show_v they_o likewise_o to_o be_v sinner_n as_o well_o though_o not_o as_o great_a as_o they_o that_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n without_o the_o help_n of_o grace_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n conclude_v that_o we_o be_v all_o justify_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n without_o the_o law_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o rom._n 3._o from_o 2._o ver_fw-la therefore_o not_o by_o any_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n do_v either_o by_o the_o help_n of_o grace_n or_o without_o grace_n for_o he_o that_o obey_v the_o law_n how_o ever_o he_o do_v it_o with_o the_o help_n of_o grace_n or_o his_o own_o strength_n yet_o he_o have_v the_o same_o righteousness_n the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n because_o the_o different_a manner_n of_o obtain_v it_o alter_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o the_o apostle_n show_v a_o great_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n for_o moses_n describe_v the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n that_o the_o man_n which_o do_v these_o thing_n however_o he_o do_v they_o by_o his_o own_o strength_n or_o some_o other_o help_n if_o he_o do_v they_o he_o shall_v live_v by_o they_o
