time_n it_o be_v deem_v a_o matter_n odious_a for_o any_o to_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v a_o bishop_n of_o bishop_n as_o appeareth_z by_o that_o voice_n which_o he_o cry_v in_o the_o counsel_n of_o

that_o he_o can_v be_v no_o less_o than_o antichrist_n whosoever_o do_v take_v unto_o he_o that_o title_n first_o therefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o until_o the_o time_n of_o gregory_n bishop_n of_o rome_n a_o universal_a bishop_n be_v not_o hear_v of_o in_o the_o church_n and_o boniface_n the_o third_o be_v the_o first_o bishop_n of_o rome_n that_o get_v this_o title_n which_o be_v above_o

14._o &_o 15._o &_o 16._o for_o no_o man_n mortal_a be_v appoint_v thereunto_o i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o for_o all_o these_o cause_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v not_o possible_o be_v the_o true_a church_n 7_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o ascribe_v justification_n to_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n only_o but_o say_v that_o man_n work_n be_v meritorious_a and_o to_o they_o partly_o be_v justification_n to_o be_v ascribe_v and_o so_o they_o make_v man_n imperfect_a work_n to_o be_v cause_n of_o salvation_n which_o be_v a_o gross_a error_n even_o in_o the_o foundation_n or_o fundamental_a point_n saint_n paul_n say_v that_o all_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n rom._n 3.24_o if_o they_o be_v justify_v gratis_o free_o as_o he_o affirm_v then_o be_v they_o justify_v withoot_v any_o desert_n of_o they_o and_o saint_n paul_n set_v down_o the_o axiom_n in_o the_o conclusion_n we_o hold_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n rom._n 3.28_o and_o the_o apostle_n in_o very_a many_o place_n whereof_o mention_n shall_v he_o make_v hereafter_o do_v express_o exclude_v week_n from_o be_v any_o cause_n of_o our_o justification_n 〈◊〉_d indeed_o they_o be_v the_o effect_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o true_a position_n that_o faith_n only_o do_v justify_v in_o as_o much_o as_o justification_n be_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n impute_v to_o our_o faith_n not_o to_o our_o work_n for_o abraham_n beléeve_v god_n and_o that_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n as_o paul_n speak_v rom._n 4.8_o and_o he_o show_v that_o abraham_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n before_o god_n for_o if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n than_o shall_v he_o have_v wherein_o to_o glory_v but_o not_o before_o god_n and_o because_o he_o have_v not_o wherein_o to_o glory_v before_o god_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n i_o grant_v that_o saint_n james_n in_o his_o second_o chapter_n do_v say_v that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o his_o work_n when_o he_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n at_o god_n commandment_n and_o likewise_o that_o he_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o but_o before_o who_o be_v he_o justify_v by_o work_n not_o before_o god_n but_o before_o man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v his_o work_n do_v declare_v unto_o man_n that_o say_v whereby_o he_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o saint_n james_n may_v appear_v by_o that_o his_o say_n where_o he_o say_v show_v unto_o i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_v thou_o say_v thou_o have_v faith_n that_o be_v not_o enough_o thy_o word_n do_v not_o prove_v it_o thy_o work_n will_v therefore_o say_v he_o show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_n this_o word_n show_v i_o do_v manifest_a what_o manner_n of_o justification_n he_o speak_v off_o namely_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o justification_n before_o man_n for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o respect_v the_o faith_n of_o a_o man_n whereby_o only_o he_o be_v justify_v in_o his_o sight_n and_o it_o be_v man_n which_o respect_v the_o work_n whereby_o indeed_o they_o testify_v unto_o the_o world_n their_o faith_n to_o be_v good_a before_o god_n for_o as_o saint_n james_n say_v true_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v but_o a_o dead_a faith_n and_o not_o good_a nor_o find_v nor_o

available_a but_o faith_n and_o work_n must_v go_v together_o and_o indeed_o where_o a_o true_a faith_n be_v there_o good_a work_n will_v show_v themselves_o as_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o and_o thus_o paul_n and_o james_n be_v to_o be_v reconcile_v which_o thing_n thomas_n aquinas_n a_o schoolman_n of_o the_o papist_n do_v himself_o plain_o testify_v say_v that_o christ_n jesus_n do_v justify_v effectiuè_fw-fr effectual_o faith_n do_v justify_v apprehensiuè_fw-fr by_o take_v hold_n of_o christ_n and_o good_a work_n do_v justify_v declaratiuè_fw-fr that_o be_v do_v declare_v unto_o man_n their_o justification_n before_o god_n and_o so_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o howsoever_o a_o true_a faith_n can_v be_v without_o work_n as_o fire_n can_v be_v without_o light_n and_o heat_n yet_o our_o justification_n before_o god_n be_v to_o be_v impute_v to_o our_o faith_n not_o to_o our_o work_n as_o warmth_n be_v to_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o fire_n not_o to_o the_o light_n of_o the_o fire_n for_o so_o say_v saint_n paul_n express_o that_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n rom._n 4.6_o and_o again_o that_o it_o be_v by_o grace_n not_o of_o work_n rom._n 11.6_o and_o again_o not_o of_o work_n rom._n 9.11_o again_o saint_n paul_n tell_v the_o saint_n at_o ephesus_n that_o god_n have_v ordain_v man_n to_o walk_v in_o good_a work_n yet_o he_o say_v that_o they_o may_v not_o trust_v to_o be_v save_v by_o they_o for_o he_o affirm_v and_o assure_v they_o that_o they_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n and_o not_o by_o their_o work_n eph._n 28.9.10_o again_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o person_n of_o himself_o &_o of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o say_v that_o we_o be_v save_v not_o by_o work_n but_o by_o his_o predestination_n and_o grace_n 8_o 2._o tim_n 1.9_o and_o again_o god_n be_v our_o saviour_n not_o for_o any-worke_n which_o we_o have_v do_v but_o according_a to_o his_o own_o mercy_n he_o have_v save_v we_o tit._n 3.5_o and_o diverse_a

among_o other_o sentence_n have_v this_o non_fw-la iustificàri_fw-la hominem_fw-la apud_fw-la deum_fw-la nisi_fw-la per_fw-la fidem_fw-la that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v before_o god_n but_o by_o faith_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o faith_n only_o do_v justify_v before_o god_n saint_n basil_n do_v say_v that_o this_o be_v perfect_a and_o sound_a rejoice_v in_o god_n when_o a_o man_n do_v not_o boast_v of_o his_o own_o righteousness_n but_o know_v that_o he_o want_v in_o himself_o true_a righteousness_n and_o that_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o and_o gregory_n nazianzen_n say_v that_o to_o believe_v only_o be_v righteousness_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a both_o by_o the_o express_a testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o of_o the_o father_n that_o we_o hold_v the_o truth_n in_o this_o behalf_n and_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v in_o a_o marvelous_a error_n it_o be_v true_a which_o be_v write_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v reward_v according_a to_o his_o work_n because_o the_o faith_n of_o man_n be_v esteem_v and_o estimate_v by_o their_o work_n as_o the_o free_a be_v know_v by_o the_o trust_n but_o there_o be_v no_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o show_v that_o any_o man_n be_v save_v propter_fw-la merita_fw-la for_o his_o work_n or_o merit_n but_o many_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o the_o contrary_a as_o before_o appear_v for_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o that_o we_o can_v yet_o we_o must_v say_v as_o christ_n command_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n luke_n 17.10_o and_o therefore_o the_o papist_n which_o teach_v work_v meritorious_a yea_o work_n of_o supererogation_n available_a to_o salvation_n as_o well_o for_o other_o as_o for_o themselves_o hold_v not_o the_o right_a faith_n and_o consequent_o be_v not_o

therefore_o conclude_v all_o this_o discourse_n only_o with_o this_o argument_n follow_v the_o pope_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o head_n of_o that_o church_n be_v that_o famous_a antichrist_n that_o be_v
