to_o confer_v their_o ground_n with_o we_o and_o then_o to_o examine_v their_o own_o judgement_n whether_o they_o find_v we_o heretic_n or_o no._n and_o as_o for_o those_o matter_n which_o be_v no_o fundamental_a point_n although_o in_o they_o we_o descent_n we_o must_v not_o despair_v of_o their_o conversion_n for_o god_n neither_o have_v nor_o will_v reveal_v unto_o they_o all_o truth_n at_o once_o but_o as_o the_o blind_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n when_o he_o first_o begin_v to_o see_v think_v he_o see_v 8_o mark_n 8_o man_n walk_v like_o tree_n but_o when_o our_o saviour_n touch_v his_o eye_n again_o he_o see_v more_o clear_o so_o god_n will_v lighten_v the_o darkness_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o take_v away_o the_o veil_n or_o cover_n which_o be_v before_o they_o by_o degree_n until_o they_o come_v to_o the_o full_a measure_n of_o knowledge_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v judge_v expedient_a to_o be_v reveal_v unto_o they_o of_o faith_n and_o work_n to_o leave_v these_o general_a ground_n and_o to_o dispute_v more_o particular_o they_o hold_v with_o saint_n james_n that_o work_n do_v justify_v 5._o jam._n 2._o rom._n 5._o we_o with_o saint_n paul_n justification_n by_o faith_n and_o since_o these_o two_o apostle_n differ_v in_o word_n and_o not_o in_o meaning_n why_o shall_v we_o disagree_v hold_v the_o same_o which_o they_o do_v hold_v faith_n go_v before_o and_o work_n follow_v after_o justification_n but_o both_o do_v justify_v so_o saint_n paul_n argue_v from_o that_o which_o be_v precedent_n saint_n james_n argue_v from_o that_o which_o

declarare_fw-la to_o absolve_v a_o man_n and_o pronounce_v he_o just_a out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o jury_n or_o a_o judge_n so_o faith_n which_o be_v invisible_a justifi_v we_o before_o the_o invisible_a god_n which_o see_v our_o invisible_a faith_n &_o work_n which_o be_v visible_a justify_v we_o before_o visible_a man_n which_o see_v our_o work_n as_o they_o be_v visible_a and_o

we_o think_v work_n as_o necessary_a as_o they_o do_v and_o therefore_o we_o will_v work_v and_o we_o will_v work_v that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v and_o we_o will_v work_v out_o our_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a we_o hold_v work_v necessary_a for_o they_o which_o will_v inherit_v but_o not_o for_o they_o which_o will_v merit_v and_o therefore_o we_o work_v not_o that_o we_o may_v
