A13103 A motiue to good workes Or rather, to true Christianitie indeede. Wherein by the waie is shewed, how farre wee are behinde, not onely our fore-fathers in good workes, but also many other creatures in the endes of our creation: with the difference betwixt the pretenced [sic] good workes of the Antichristian Papist, and the good workes of the Christian Protestant.

they_o they_o can_v have_v none_o lest_o there_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o they_o both_o whereby_o we_o see_v that_o as_o no_o man_n can_v buy_v the_o good_a work_n of_o another_o so_o no_o man_n

have_v send_v his_o own_o son_n into_o this_o miserable_a world_n to_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o &_o to_o shed_v his_o most_o precious_a blood_n for_o we_o if_o we_o can_v have_v justify_v

whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o paul_n be_v bold_a to_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v justify_v say_v he_o by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ._n and_o to_o the_o galath_n he_o say_v further_a that_o as_o many_o as_o do_v rely_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n 5._o be_v under_o the_o

apostle_n james_n who_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o iustification_n one_o absolute_a before_o god_n the_o

demonstrative_o before_o the_o world_n again_o paul_n wright_v of_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n james_n of_o the_o effect_n paul_n have_v to_o do_v with_o they_o that_o contemn_v faith_n as_o the_o heathen_a jew_n and_o turk_n do_v now_o and_o therefore_o he_o attribute_v and_o that_o worthy_o justification_n to_o faith_n only_o james_n he_o have_v to_o do_v with_o they_o that_o contemn_v good_a work_n as_o thing_n of_o no_o value_n affirm_v that_o bare_a faith_n alone_o be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n &_o therefore_o he_o attribute_v the_o more_o to_o work_n thereby_o to_o draw_v they_o to_o the_o practise_v of_o they_o again_o paul_n speak_v of_o such_o work_n as_o go_v before_o justification_n james_n of_o such_o as_o follow_v after_o paul_n mean_v not_o of_o a_o bare_a and_o naked_a faith_n without_o good_a work_n but_o of_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o can_v no_o more_o be_v without_o good_a work_n than_o the_o sun_n without_o light_n or_o the_o fire_n without_o heat_n james_n he_o mean_v of_o a_o bare_a naked_a and_o dead_a faith_n such_o as_o the_o very_a devil_n have_v &_o as_o the_o very_a heathen_a &_o infidel_n have_v so_o that_o in_o substance_n &_o matter_n they_o both_o mean_v and_o speak_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n for_o true_o as_o faith_n be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n before_o god_n so_o our_o work_n be_v the_o effect_n or_o fruit_n issue_v thereout_o whereby_o we_o be_v know_v to_o be_v justify_v before_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o brag_v of_o our_o faith_n as_o much_o as_o we_o will_v if_o it_o be_v but_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o bring_v forth_o no_o good_a work_n we_o can_v never_o be_v save_v by_o it_o this_o be_v not_o that_o iustifieng_v faith_n which_o paul_n speak_v of_o nor_o which_o the_o child_n of_o god_n have_v but_o a_o dead_a faith_n a_o barren_a faith_n a_o historical_a faith_n which_o the_o devil_n and_o all_o reprobate_n have_v but_o here_o perchance_o some_o captious_a sophister_n will_v ask_v i_o if_o we_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o good_a work_n to_o '_o what_o end_n then_o shall_v we_o do_v they_o to_o who_o i_o answer_v we_o be_v to_o do_v good_a work_n for_o six_o cause_n especial_o first_o for_o the_o love_n &_o obedience_n which_o we_o owe_v unto_o god_n second_o for_o the_o mutual_a love_n &_o brotherly_a charity_n which_o we_o bear_v one_o towards_o a_o other_o three_o to_o make_v our_o salvation_n sure_a &_o certain_a unto_o we_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v make_v your_o salvation_n sure_a by_o good_a work_n
