whereof_o the_o people_n can_v receive_v no_o profit_n for_o god_n be_v not_o please_v with_o good_a deed_n for_o our_o ill_n as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o law_n to_o bind_v he_o either_o to_o accept_v

answer_v it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o all_o the_o law_n which_o may_v comfort_v the_o offender_n because_o he_o be_v under_o the_o curse_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o have_v

work_n of_o charity_n which_o he_o urge_v not_o after_o the_o law_n but_o after_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o this_o exhortation_n depend_v upon_o another_o principle_n and_o on_o a_o new_a law_n where_o to_o the_o repentant_a his_o sin_n be_v assure_v to_o be_v remit_v and_o in_o lieu_n of_o thankfulness_n a_o better_a life_n be_v enjoin_v wherefore_o he_o do_v not_o further_o reproove_v

that_o we_o do_v so_o disclaim_v and_o abhor_v last_o it_o serve_v more_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o christ_n when_o such_o a_o multitude_n shall_v be_v turn_v and_o change_v by_o his_o word_n not_o
