the_o convertible_a point_n i_o take_v notice_n of_o in_o your_o last_o ascension_n sermon_n and_o unless_o i_o be_v much_o mistake_v that_o day_n controversy_n be_v in_o order_n to_o take_v away_o all_o suspicion_n of_o your_o being_n roman_n cotholick_o incline_v for_o your_o lordship_n live_v as_o seneca_n say_v sine_fw-la impedimento_fw-la that_o be_v to_o say_v without_o a_o wife_n and_o have_v the_o reputation_n of_o one_o that_o live_v moral_o well_o which_o be_v enough_o for_o the_o rabble_n to_o say_v you_o be_v popish_o affect_v you_o undertake_v that_o day_n work_v to_o take_v away_o the_o scandal_n which_o have_v no_o other_o ground_n than_o your_o good_a work_n thank_v then_o my_o lord_n your_o own_o church_n for_o this_o abuse_n which_o proceed_v from_o that_o unhappy_a merit-killing_a doctrine_n which_o prive_v out_o of_o your_o school_n all_o good_a work_n and_o meritorious_a action_n to_o this_o purpose_n i_o remember_v the_o friday_n follow_v your_o lordship_n use_v all_o mean_n in_o your_o instruction_n of_o faith_n to_o persuade_v your_o auditor_n that_o abraham_n justification_n be_v for_o his_o faith_n and_o not_o for_o his_o good_a work_n all_o your_o proof_n be_v because_o abraham_n believe_v before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v a_o very_a weak_a or_o rather_o no_o argument_n indeed_o quasi_fw-la vero_fw-la that_o all_o abraham_n good_a work_n be_v only_o comprehend_v in_o his_o circumcision_n pray_v tell_v i_o now_o if_o you_o have_v this_o positive_o in_o scripture_n you_o can_v never_o do_v it_o my_o lord_n but_o you_o will_v find_v the_o contrary_a in_o positive_a term_n both_o in_o the_o new_a and_o old_a testament_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o final_a judgement_n of_o predestination_n and_o reprobation_n shall_v it_o not_o be_v for_o do_v or_o not_o do_v good_a work_n witness_v the_o very_a word_n of_o our_o last_o sentence_n record_v in_o the_o gospel_n venite_fw-la benedicti_fw-la patis_fw-la mei_fw-la esurivi_fw-la enim_fw-la &_o dedistis_fw-la mihi_fw-la manducare_fw-la etc._n etc._n come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n etc._n etc._n i_o be_v hungry_a and_o you_o give_v i_o to_o eat_v etc._n etc._n and_o the_o other_o sentence_n shall_v be_v most_o terrible_o terrible_a against_o the_o reprobate_n for_o want_n of_o good_a work_n item_fw-la maledicti_fw-la in_o ignem_fw-la aeternum_fw-la etc._n etc._n go_v you_o curse_v to_o the_o everlasting_a fire_n etc._n etc._n and_o why_o esurivi_fw-la enim_fw-la &_o non_fw-la dedisti_fw-la mihi_fw-la manducare_fw-la etc._n etc._n because_o i_o be_v hungry_a and_o you_o do_v not_o feed_v i_o etc._n etc._n i_o will_v content_v myself_o now_o with_o one_o proof_n out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n it_o be_v in_o the_o 30_o chapter_n of_o deuteronomy_n 19_o verse_n i_o call_v heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o record_v this_o day_n against_o you_o that_o i_o have_v set_v before_o you_o life_n and_o death_n blessing_n and_o curse_v therefore_o choose_v life_n that_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n may_v live._n how_o can_v god_n almighty_a call_v heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o judge_v they_o if_o he_o have_v not_o endow_v they_o with_o free_a will_n for_o you_o can_v lawful_o hang_v a_o cripple_n for_o not_o run_v nor_o a_o man_n bear_v blind_a for_o not_o read_v you_o must_v make_v god_n then_o far_o more_o cruel_a than_o man_n if_o he_o damn_v for_o not_o do_v good_a work_n you_o suppose_v he_o deprive_v he_o of_o freewill_n which_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o pretend_a reformer_n who_o attribute_v all_o to_o faith_n and_o nothing_o to_o merit_n as_o for_o your_o lordship_n i_o think_v i_o can_v deal_v fair_a with_o you_o then_o to_o remit_v you_o to_o the_o western_a window_n of_o that_o cathedral_n wherein_o i_o hear_v you_o preach_v and_o there_o you_o will_v find_v in_o capital_a letter_n your_o own_o judgement_n draw_v out_o of_o the_o 2d_o chapter_n of_o st._n james_n v._o 26._o for_o as_o the_o body_n without_o the_o spirit_n be_v dead_a so_o faith_n without_o good_a work_n be_v dead_a also_o this_o be_v all_o i_o have_v to_o say_v against_o those_o two_o sermon_n i_o hear_v your_o lordship_n preach_v now_o i_o beseech_v the_o almighty_a god_n that_o you_o may_v rather_o soon_o then_o late_o make_v it_o your_o main_n concern_v to_o find_v out_o truth_n and_o for_o this_o purpose_n you_o must_v invoke_v faithful_o and_o fervent_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o englighten_v your_o understanding_n that_o you_o may_v see_v your_o error_n and_o inflame_v your_o will_n to_o embrace_v truth_n and_o return_v speedy_o to_o the_o bosom_n of_o christ_n only_a save_a church_n on_o earth_n and_o than_o you_o will_v have_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o holy_a cross_n in_o veneration_n you_o will_v make_v use_n of_o it_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o all_o your_o undertake_n you_o will_v own_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n himself_o a_o visible_a spiritual_a supreme_a head_n of_o his_o church_n on_o earth_n and_o that_o the_o
