to_o embrace_v godliness_n throughout_o their_o whole_a life_n for_o to_o this_o end_n the_o apostle_n james_n 2._o james_n 2._o reason_v very_o divine_o seem_v to_o make_v a_o double_a justification_n of_o man_n the_o one_o from_o god_n the_o other_o from_o man_n himself_o god_n apparent_o see_v &_o know_v as_o all_o thing_n else_o visible_a &_o invisable_a spiritual_a &_o earthly_a so_o the_o justify_n faith_n of_o very_a man_n how_o it_o be_v seat_v in_o his_o heart_n without_o any_o help_n mark_n or_o token_n for_o itself_o and_o in_o itself_o without_o all_o other_o respect_n justify_v the_o man_n but_o to_o man_n this_o faith_n be_v pure_o spiritual_a can_v without_o his_o faithful_a mark_n and_o fruit_n be_v see_v and_o know_v with_o flat_a &_o resolute_a assurance_n no_o not_o to_o he_o that_o have_v it_o therefore_o as_o god_n do_v justify_v a_o man_n by_o his_o faith_n so_o a_o man_n must_v justify_v himself_o by_o his_o work_n that_o be_v his_o faithful_a action_n and_o work_n must_v resolve_v he_o and_o prove_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o be_v possess_v of_o a_o true_a justify_n faith_n allow_v and_o approve_v of_o god_n lest_o otherwise_o he_o be_v deceive_v with_o a_o shadow_n &_o vizard_n of_o faith_n 2._o james_n 2._o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v plain_a first_o he_o say_v show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_n &_o i_o will_v

before_o god_n when_o he_o offer_v isaac_n his_o son_n upon_o the_o altar_n three_o you_o see_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 namely_o of_o man_n by_o which_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v clear_a than_o the_o noon_n day_n that_o his_o justify_n faith_n can_v be_v know_v unto_o man_n but_o by_o his_o work_n that_o i_o say_v his_o resolute_a purpose_n to_o lead_v a_o godly_a and_o a_o christian_a life_n &_o indeed_o the_o due_a execution_n of_o the_o same_o must_v show_v and_o make_v it_o evident_a both_o unto_o himself_o and_o unto_o other_o that_o his_o soul_n be_v possess_v of_o a_o justify_n faith_n before_o god_n that_o in_o this_o his_o examination_n of_o himself_o he_o be_v not_o deceive_v &_o so_o consequent_o that_o he_o eat_v and_o drink_v the_o lord_n supper_n worthy_o unto_o god_n glory_n and_o his_o own_o everlasting_a comfort_n object_n this_o also_o now_o be_v very_o plain_a this_o three_o point_n of_o examination_n be_v doubtless_o as_o necessary_a as_o the_o other_o two_o and_o come_v i_o think_v in_o a_o comely_a and_o divine_a order_n i_o have_v but_o one_o demand_n more_o good_a sir_n for_o a_o full_a conclusion_n ans_fw-fr say_v on_o i_o pray_v you_o object_n i_o do_v hear_v yourself_o and_o other_o preacher_n of_o the_o word_n daily_o teach_v and_o i_o believe_v assure_o that_o you_o teach_v true_o that_o a_o true_a justify_n faith_n do_v always_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o regeneration_n newness_n of_o life_n and_o righteous_a obedience_n and_o do_v always_o declare_v itself_o outward_o by_o work_n in_o the_o party_n who_o it_o do_v possess_v i_o know_v also_o that_o that_o notable_a instrument_n of_o god_n glory_n the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n observe_v the_o like_a order_n and_o teach_v the_o very_a same_o who_o after_o that_o he_o have_v first_o of_o all_o sound_o lay_v down_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o strong_o prove_v that_o by_o only_a faith_n in_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o save_v then_o next_o of_o all_o he_o come_v

unto_o exhortation_n to_o manner_n and_o integrity_n of_o life_n thereby_o plain_o affirm_v as_o much_o as_o you_o say_v namely_o that_o christian_n must_v adorn_v their_o faith_n and_o profession_n with_o good_a work_n and_o that_o a_o true_a justify_n faith_n be_v ever_o abundant_o fruitful_a in_o the_o same_o good_a work_n nay_o that_o which_o be_v more_o i_o do_v know_v that_o many_o zealous_a christian_n even_o now_o in_o our_o time_n do_v confirm_v the_o same_o doctrine_n by_o their_o life_n and_o live_n who_o as_o they_o do_v daily_o pray_v for_o a_o true_a justify_n faith_n and_o constant_o profess_v themselves_o to_o have_v the_o same_o so_o do_v they_o also_o walk_v in_o all_o christian_n and_o dutiful_a obedience_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n ever_o endevor_v themselves_o to_o do_v well_o and_o to_o do_v good_a so_o that_o when_o i_o do_v lay_v their_o outward_a profession_n of_o a_o justify_n faith_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o their_o life_n on_o the_o other_o side_n together_o i_o think_v it_o do_v strong_o prove_v this_o doctrine_n to_o be_v always_o infallible_o true_a that_o a_o true_a justify_n faith_n and_o good_a work_n be_v inseparable_a and_o not_o to_o be_v find_v asunder_o no_o more_o than_o the_o sun_n can_v be_v without_o his_o light_n or_o fire_v his_o heat_n this_o i_o say_v i_o do_v hear_v this_o i_o do_v know_v both_o by_o the_o scripture_n and_o example_n of_o these_o time_n and_o this_o i_o do_v hold_v for_o truth_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v myself_o as_o many_o thousand_o more_o do_v not_o yet_o in_o reason_n see_v how_o it_o do_v come_v to_o pass_v my_o last_o suit_n therefore_o unto_o you_o be_v that_o you_o will_v prove_v by_o some-sound_n reason_n that_o a_o justify_n faith_n whersoever_o it_o do_v rest_n must_v needs_o be_v effectual_a and_o fruitful_a in_o holiness_n of_o life_n &_o good_a work_n for_o doubtless_o though_o it_o be_v the_o truth_n yet_o because_o they_o do_v not_o clear_o see_v it_o by_o manifest_a argument_n and_o reason_n a_o great_a number_n can_v tell_v whether_o they_o shall_v believe_v it_o or_o not_o and_o therefore_o though_o they_o have_v but_o only_o a_o bare_a historical_a faith_n without_o all_o respect_n unto_o work_n and_o manner_n yet_o they_o flatter_v themselves_o that_o the_o same_o be_v a_o true_a justify_n faith_n whereas_o if_o they_o be_v able_a to_o convince_v themselves_o by_o sound_a reason_n many_o of_o they_o i_o be_o persuade_v will_v be_v as_o ready_a to_o forsake_v their_o error_n they_o will_v be_v as_o willing_a to_o embrace_v the_o true_a justify_n faith_n and_o to_o express_v the_o same_o by_o all_o dutiful_a obedience_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n in_o their_o life_n as_o ever_o they_o be_v to_o maintain_v a_o bare_a historical_a faith_n with_o looseness_n of_o life_n and_o now_o i_o attend_v your_o answer_n ans_fw-fr if_o you_o desire_v my_o answer_n for_o your_o resolution_n then_o mark_v it_o well_o it_o none_o can_v thorough_o know_v what_o a_o justify_n faith_n be_v but_o he_o only_o that_o have_v it_o as_o no_o man_n can_v understand_v or_o comprehend_v what_o honey_n and_o his_o séetnes_n be_v though_o

reason_n of_o all_o other_o to_o prove_v the_o effectual_a work_n of_o the_o same_o we_o believe_v not_o through_o the_o light_n of_o natural_a reason_n and_o understanding_n but_o we_o understand_v by_o believe_v need_v no_o reason_n to_o prove_v unto_o he_o the_o sweetness_n thereof_o so_o he_o which_o have_v a_o justify_n faith_n and_o do_v believe_v needs_o no_o reason_n to_o prove_v unto_o
