he_o we_o do_v find_v such_o place_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o do_v seem_v to_o attribute_v righteousness_n to_o work_n special_a regard_n must_v be_v have_v unto_o the_o foundation_n from_o which_o

which_o perceive_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o god_n promise_v to_o such_o as_o do_v good_a work_n that_o must_v not_o be_v promise_v

good_a work_n be_v not_o there_o be_v not_o faith_n the_o cause_n of_o good_a work_n therefore_o say_v paul_n 19_o fight_v a_o good_a sight_n have_v faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n which_o some_o have_v put_v away_o and_o as_o concern_v faith_n have_v make_v shipwreck_n so_o often_o then_o as_o promise_n do_v seem_v to_o be_v annex_v to_o good_a work_n we_o be_v to_o make_v recourse_n unto_o the_o root_n and_o ground_n namely_o faith_n for_o as_o there_o be_v two_o beginning_n of_o thing_n one_o be_v that_o they_o be_v the_o other_o that_o they_o be_v know_v so_o faith_n as_o the_o

the_o lord_n at_o the_o last_o day_n will_v propose_v the_o beginning_n of_o knowledge_n to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o creature_n 35_o for_o thus_o he_o will_v say_v come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n inherit_v you_o the_o kingdom_n prepare_v for_o you_o from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n for_o i_o be_v a_o hunger_a

be_v bestow_v for_o so_o say_v paul_n 23._o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n and_o although_o by_o that_o which_o hitherto_o have_v be_v speak_v it_o be_v none_o hard_a thing_n to_o judge_v how_o our_o doctrine_n concern_v good_a work_n differ_v from_o the_o papistical_a imagination_n yet_o that_o the_o more_o distinctlie_o and_o particular_o this_o difference_n may_v be_v see_v i_o will_v add_v somewhat_o more_o here-unto_o and_o that_o for_o two_o cause_n the_o first_o to_o show_v the_o vanity_n of_o those_o man_n who_o hear_v that_o both_o we_o and_o the_o papist_n do_v require_v good_a work_v do_v think_v that_o we_o strive_v not_o about_o matter_n of_o importance_n but_o only_o about_o word_n and_o that_o of_o pride_n only_o to_o gainsay_a whereby_o they_o do_v sufficient_o bewray_v themselves_o to_o know_v nothing_o touch_v this_o controversy_n of_o so_o great_a importance_n upon_o which_o all_o our_o salvation_n do_v depend_v secondlie_o that_o godly_a auditor_n may_v be_v right_o instruct_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o necessary_a doctrine_n &_o may_v have_v always_o in_o a_o readiness_n wherewith_o to_o answer_v such_o as_o endeavour_v to_o overthrow_v our_o religion_n and_o slander_v the_o same_o without_o reason_n either_o of_o mere_a malice_n or_o of_o gross_a ignorance_n the_o difference_n therefore_o between_o we_o and_o the_o papist_n touch_v good_a work_n consist_v in_o four_o thing_n to_o wit_n in_o the_o matter_n efficient_a cause_n in_o the_o manner_n and_o in_o the_o oft_o do_v of_o good_a work_v if_o we_o shall_v prove_v this_o thing_n by_o evident_a argument_n i_o think_v there_o be_v none_o but_o will_v grant_v if_o so_o be_v he_o will_v yield_v unto_o the_o truth_n rather_o than_o to_o the_o vanity_n of_o his_o own_o mind_n that_o for_o just_a cause_n we_o be_v provoke_v thus_o to_o contend_v the_o first_o difference_n therefore_o be_v take_v from_o the_o matter_n of_o work_n work_n for_o the_o papist_n do_v place_n their_o chief_a work_n and_o worship_n in_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n the_o which_o they_o prefer_v before_o god_n comaundemente_n which_o tradition_n for_o all_o that_o part_o be_v in_o their_o kind_n indifferent_a chief_a as_o appoint_v fast_n and_o certain_a song_n but_o in_o their_o use_n and_o end_v utterlie_o wicked_a sort_v because_o they_o put_v a_o confidence_n in_o they_o while_o they_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o by_o observe_v of_o they_o they_o do_v merit_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n partly_o they_o be_v superstitious_a &_o meerelie_o ethnical_a as_o hallow_v of_o water_n of_o fire_n of_o herb_n of_o candle_n with_o infinite_a such_o toy_n whereunto_o also_o they_o do_v ascribe_v the_o power_n to_o abolish_v sin_n and_o drive_v away_o devil_n and_o partly_o they_o be_v apparent_o wicked_a as_o such_o be_v that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o be_v the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n the_o merchandise_n of_o mass_n the_o worship_v of_o image_n the_o bear_v about_o &_o adoration_n of_o bread_n these_o and_o the_o like_a tradition_n the_o papist_n with_o fire_n and_o sword_n do_v uphould_v care_v little_a or_o nothing_o at_o all_o for_o the_o breach_n of_o god_n his_o commandment_n as_o evident_o appear_v by_o the_o very_a punishment_n which_o they_o do_v appoint_v god_n for_o in_o the_o papacy_n the_o contempt_n of_o the_o idolatrous_a mass_n be_v more_o sharpelie_o punish_v than_o adultery_n or_o incest_n a_o much_o more_o heinous_a offence_n be_v it_o among_o the_o papist_n to_o eat_v flesh_n upon_o a_o fridaie_n than_o to_o kill_v a_o man_n upon_o any_o day_n whereby_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o papist_n do_v prefer_v their_o tradition_n before_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n antichrist_n which_o thing_n be_v the_o proper_a note_n of_o antichrist_n
iustifieng_v of_o one_o the_o benefit_n abound_v towards_o all_o man_n to_o the_o justification_n of_o life_n so_o that_o with_o faith_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o remission_n of_o sin_n grace_n whereby_o we_o

of_o the_o diverse_a manner_n of_o justification_n it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v twofolde_v for_o he_o that_o discharge_v and_o by_o his_o work_n fulfil_v the_o law_n which_o thing_n christ_n only_o
