be_v no_o quaestion_n but_o all_o be_v sinner_n and_o that_o very_a often_o they_o daily_o offend_v beside_o all_o which_o their_o good_a deed_n also_o but_o few_o to_o speak_v of_o be_v so_o

he_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n for_o so_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o the_o infinite_a excellency_n of_o his_o godhead_n can_v not_o have_v sufficient_a issue_n in_o his_o manhood_n to_o show_v forth_o themselves_o to_o the_o full_a but_o after_o they_o have_v thorough_o fill_v all_o his_o manhood_n with_o all_o perfection_n and_o all_o the_o organ_n and_o power_n thereof_o needs_o must_v there_o be_v immeasurable_a abundance_n leave_v beside_o all_o which_o do_v witness_n his_o manhood_n first_o to_o be_v thorough_o fill_v so_o not_o only_o it_o may_v be_v but_o also_o of_o

as_o himself_o that_o all_o his_o deed_n word_n and_o thought_n be_v ever_o good_a and_o the_o same_o in_o most_o absolute_a manner_n to_o the_o uttermost_a pitch_n that_o the_o capacity_n of_o manhood_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v how_o to_o procure_v righteousness_n to_o ourselves_o to_o make_v it_o we_o be_v now_o to_o be_v see_v where_o first_o if_o we_o come_v to_o that_o righteousness_n that_o be_v of_o man_n either_o of_o ourselves_o or_o other_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o do_v any_o good_a for_o first_o as_o touch_v ourselves_o whereas_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o

but_o ever_o have_v all_o our_o deed_n word_n and_o thought_n full_o answer_v to_o that_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n that_o god_n require_v then_o may_v we_o stand_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n by_o our_o own_o good_a work_n without_o any_o help_n at_o all_o by_o christ_n and_o that_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o former_a covenant_n common_o call_v the_o old_a testament_n but_o if_o we_o miss_v any_o point_n of_o this_o though_o we_o do_v our_o best_a indevor_n yet_o be_v we_o nothing_o holpen_v thereby_o in_o this_o matter_n because_o that_o god_n have_v not_o covenant_v to_o accept_v we_o as_o righteous_a for_o do_v our_o indevor_n therein_o but_o only_o by_o fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n in_o every_o point_n to_o the_o uttermost_a jot_n neither_o can_v he_o in_o his_o justice_n accept_v of_o any_o other_o righteousness_n but_o that_o which_o be_v perfect_a no_o more_o than_o the_o law_n will_v adjudge_v any_o sum_n a_o just_a payment_n be_v it_o never_o so_o much_o though_o infinite_a thousand_o so_o long_o as_o there_o want_v any_o one_o penny_n of_o that_o which_o be_v covenant_n then_o if_o we_o seek_v unto_o other_o those_o that_o now_o be_v saint_n in_o heaven_n to_o have_v the_o help_n of_o their_o righteousness_n to_o make_v we_o righteous_a neither_o have_v they_o any_o such_o as_o the_o law_n require_v but_o be_v for_o that_o matter_n as_o short_a as_o we_o neither_o do_v god_n at_o any_o time_n make_v any_o such_o covenant_n with_o any_o of_o we_o that_o their_o righteousness_n shall_v stand_v we_o in_o any_o such_o steed_n now_o therefore_o to_o come_v unto_o christ_n in_o he_o only_o be_v that_o righteousness_n to_o be_v have_v that_o can_v serve_v our_o turn_n and_o we_o have_v it_o in_o he_o by_o none_o other_o mean_v but_o only_o by_o faith_n for_o whereas_o god_n have_v make_v his_o other_o covenant_n in_o he_o which_o he_o call_v the_o new_a and_o the_o last_o because_o he_o never_o mean_v to_o make_v any_o mo_z beside_o that_o whereas_o we_o can_v be_v justify_v before_o he_o by_o any_o righteousness_n of_o our_o own_o unless_o we_o be_v able_a to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o he_o therefore_o have_v take_v this_o order_n that_o his_o son_n shall_v do_v it_o for_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o that_o take_v hold_v thereof_o or_o rest_n upon_o he_o shall_v have_v his_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n they_o hence_o come_v it_o both_o that_o such_o as_o rest_v in_o he_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o latter_a covenant_n have_v his_o righteousness_n they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o other_o way_n justify_v but_o only_o by_o take_v hold_n on_o he_o by_o faith_n for_o neither_o have_v god_n make_v this_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n so_o common_a to_o all_o that_o unbeliever_n may_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o as_o well_o as_o the_o faithful_a neither_o have_v he_o by_o this_o latter_a covenant_n declare_v himself_o to_o be_v of_o purpose_n to_o justify_v we_o by_o the_o good_a work_n or_o merit_n of_o any_o but_o only_o of_o christ._n in_o other_o thing_n without_o all_o quaestion_n there_o be_v a_o special_a use_n of_o our_o own_o good_a work_n &_o of_o the_o good_a example_n that_o the_o bless_a saint_n have_v give_v we_o but_o in_o this_o our_o justification_n with_o god_n there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o they_o at_o al._n answer_v now_o therefore_o concern_v the_o place_n of_o saint_n james_n that_o seem_v to_o attribute_v our_o justification_n partly_o to_o our_o own_o work_n and_o not_o only_o to_o faith_n in_o christ_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o do_v not_o treat_v of_o this_o our_o first_o justification_n but_o only_o exhort_v to_o holiness_n of_o life_n and_o so_o consequent_o whatsoever_o he_o say_v there_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v hereunto_o apply_v whereas_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n conclude_v his_o disputation_n of_o that_o matter_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n and_o saint_n james_n in_o like_a manner_n conclude_v he_o that_o of_o work_n a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o not_o of_o faith_n only_o although_o it_o may_v seem_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n that_o these_o two_o be_v direct_o contrary_a one_o to_o the_o other_o yet_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n and_o the_o intent_n and_o meaning_n of_o either_o of_o the_o apostle_n be_v consider_v it_o be_v find_v very_o plain_o that_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a but_o only_o divers_a that_o be_v one_o of_o they_o do_v not_o deny_v that_o which_o be_v affirm_v by_o the_o other_o both_o speak_v of_o one_o thing_n but_o have_v two_o several_a or_o divers_a matter_n in_o hand_n each_o of_o they_o hold_v on_o his_o own_o several_a way_n for_o saint_n paul_n be_v in_o hand_n with_o a_o point_n of_o doctrine_n to_o show_v wherein_o our_o first_o justification_n consist_v before_o god_n and_o saint_n james_n be_v in_o hand_n with_o a_o point_n of_o exhortation_n to_o godliness_n of_o life_n and_o to_o that_o end_n show_v that_o our_o faith_n be_v but_o vain_a unless_o that_o it_o be_v in_o some_o good_a measure_n fruitful_a by_o work_n whereas_o therefore_o although_o they_o both_o speak_v of_o faith_n and_o justification_n yet_o the_o one_o do_v not_o mean_a either_o that_o faith_n or_o that_o justification_n that_o the_o other_o mean_v hence_o may_v it_o sufficient_o appear_v without_o any_o further_a discourse_n of_o the_o matter_n that_o the_o one_o of_o they_o be_v not_o against_o the_o other_o if_o saint_n james_n have_v be_v of_o purpose_n to_o have_v show_v how_o we_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n he_o will_v have_v show_v no_o other_o way_n but_o only_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n as_o in_o the_o chapter_n before_o he_o ascribe_v the_o estate_n that_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n not_o unto_o
man_n that_o come_v life_n come_v death_n come_v health_n come_v siknes_n come_v wealth_n come_v poverty_n come_v prosperity_n come_v adversity_n come_v never_o so_o tempestuous_a storm_n of_o persecution_n he_o sit_v down_o quiet_o and_o say_v calm_o with_o the_o prophet_n my_o trust_n be_v in_o god_n 55._o and_o therefore_o i_o fear_v not_o what_o flesh_n can_v do_v unto_o i_o nay_o further_o with_o holy_a job_n amid_o all_o his_o misery_n he_o say_v 13._o si_fw-la occiderit_fw-la i_o in_o ipso_fw-la sperabo_fw-la if_o god_n shall_v kill_v i_o yet_o will_v i_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o this_o be_v as_o the_o scripture_n say_v before_o to_o be_v as_o confident_a as_o a_o lion_n who_o property_n be_v to_o show_v most_o courage_n when_o he_o be_v in_o great_a peril_n and_o near_o his_o death_n 20_o but_o now_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v 1_o non_fw-la sic_fw-la impij_fw-la non_fw-la sic_fw-la the_o wicked_a can_v say_v this_o they_o have_v no_o part_n in_o this_o

the_o hope_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v as_o chaf_a which_o the_o wind_n blow_v away_o and_o as_o a_o bubble_n of_o water_n which_o a_o storm_n disperse_v &_o as_o a_o smoke_n which_o the_o wind_n

say_v 8._o the_o hope_n of_o hypocrite_n shall_v perish_v call_v wicked_a man_n hypocrite_n for_o that_o they_o say_v they_o put_v their_o hope_n in_o god_n whereas_o indeed_o they_o put_v it_o in_o the_o world_n which_o thing_n beside_o scripture_n be_v evident_a also_o by_o experience_n for_o with_o who_o do_v the_o wicked_a man_n consult_v in_o his_o affair_n and_o doubt_n with_o god_n

conscience_n which_o be_v indeed_o no_o true_a hope_n but_o rather_o presumption_n this_o saint_n john_n proove_v plain_o 3._o when_o he_o say_v brethren_n if_o our_o hart_n reprehend_v we_o not_o then_o have_v we_o confidence_n with_o god_n that_o be_v if_o our_o hart_n be_v not_o guilty_a of_o wicked_a life_n and_o the_o word_n immediate_o follow_v do_v more_o express_v the_o same_o which_o be_v these_o whensoever_o we_o ask_v we_o shall_v receive_v of_o he_o for_o that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n &_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v please_v in_o his_o sight_n the_o same_o confirm_v saint_n paul_n when_o he_o say_v 1._o that_o the_o end_n of_o god_n commandment_n be_v charity_n from_o a_o pure_a hart_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n which_o word_n saint_n austen_n
