you_o by_o believe_v all_o these_o article_n the_o drift_n of_o all_o this_o that_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n i_o be_o make_v righteous_a before_o god._n which_o be_v the_o several_a fruit_n 1_o i_o be_o at_o peace_n with_o god_n although_o in_o myself_o for_o my_o outward_a sin_n which_o i_o daily_o commit_v and_o my_o inward_a conception_n which_o remain_v i_o be_o accuse_v 2_o i_o get_v strength_n to_o fight_v against_o my_o outward_a sin_n to_o subdue_v my_o outward_a corruption_n to_o do_v outward_a good_a work_n and_o to_o delight_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o my_o inner_a man._n 3_o i_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o all_o god_n creature_n so_o that_o the_o use_n and_o want_v of_o they_o shall_v turn_v to_o the_o furtherance_n of_o my_o salvation_n 4_o i_o be_o assure_v of_o the_o glorification_n of_o my_o soul_n and_o body_n in_o the_o heaven_n because_o i_o be_o make_v a_o heir_n of_o everlasting_a life_n why_o be_v this_o give_v whole_o &_o only_o to_o faith_n not_o because_o faith_n do_v deserve_v it_o but_o because_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v lay_v hold_v on_o and_o apply_v to_o myself_o by_o no_o other_o mean_n but_o by_o faith_n alone_o can_v good_a work_n in_o some_o part_n justify_v us._n no_o for_o righteousness_n which_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v before_o god_n must_v be_v perfect_a be_v not_o our_o work_n so_o no_o for_o many_o way_n we_o sin_v all_o beside_o the_o best_a work_n we_o do_v be_v defile_v with_o sin_n and_o therefore_o can_v deserve_v nothing_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god._n why_o then_o do_v god_n promise_v a_o reward_n to_o they_o that_o be_v not_o for_o the_o desert_n of_o work_n but_o of_o god_n grace_n and_o mercy_n then_o this_o doctrine_n will_v make_v man_n careless_a for_o well_o do_v no_o for_o they_o that_o be_v ingrafy_v into_o christ_n must_v needs_o bring_v forth_o good_a work_n why_o be_v it_o needful_a they_o shall_v do_v good_a work_n 1_o that_o we_o may_v by_o they_o show_v ourselves_o thankful_a to_o god_n for_o all_o his_o benefit_n 2_o that_o we_o be_v assure_v of_o faith_n and_o election_n by_o good_a work_n 3_o that_o by_o they_o we_o may_v edify_v other_o and_o that_o will_v be_v 1._o by_o encourage_v and_o strengthen_v those_o that_o be_v good_a 2_o by_o win_v those_o that_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v to_o god._n 3_o by_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o wicked_a 4_o that_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v thereby_o be_v good_a work_n so_o needful_a that_o we_o can_v be_v save_v without_o they_o yea_o for_o although_o they_o work_v not_o our_o salvation_n in_o any_o part_n yet_o for_o that_o they_o that_o be_v justify_v be_v also_o sanctify_v they_o that_o do_v no_o good_a work_n declare_v they_o be_v neither_o justify_v nor_o sanctify_v and_o therefore_o can_v be_v save_v then_o they_o must_v much_o more_o be_v condemn_v which_o commit_v sin_n and_o lie_v in_o it_o yea_o for_o such_o be_v not_o only_o pronounce_v accurse_v by_o the_o law_n but_o also_o the_o gospel_n have_v denounce_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n can_v every_o one_o do_v good_a work_n no_o none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v bear_v again_o that_o be_v that_o they_o have_v receive_v christ_n as_o he_o be_v offer_v to_o we_o of_o god_n the_o father_n to_o be_v our_o wisdom_n holiness_n righteousness_n and_o redemption_n who_o then_o do_v good_a work_n they_o that_o be_v thus_o bear_v again_o and_o carry_v in_o they_o the_o image_n of_o god_n have_v repentance_n wrought_v in_o they_o from_o whence_o good_a work_n do_v proceed_v what_o be_v repentance_n it_o be_v a_o turn_n of_o ourselves_o to_o god_n whereby_o we_o crucify_v and_o kill_v the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n &_o reform_v ourselves_o in_o the_o inner_a man_n according_a to_o god_n will._n what_o be_v it_o to_o crucify_v the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v true_o and_o with_o all_o my_o heart_n to_o be_v sorry_a that_o i_o have_v offend_v god_n with_o it_o and_o my_o other_o sin_n and_o every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o to_o hate_v it_o and_o they_o and_o fly_v from_o they_o how_o be_v this_o sorrow_n wrought_v partly_o by_o the_o threaten_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n judgement_n but_o especial_o increase_v by_o see_v christ_n death_n whereby_o i_o have_v power_n to_o hate_v sin_n and_o ll●ave_v it_o how_o be_v this_o reformation_n of_o ourselves_o wrought_v in_o us._n only_o by_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n whereby_o we_o feel_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o rise_n again_o of_o christ._n what_o ensue_v hereof_o hereby_o we_o be_v raise_v up_o into_o a_o new_a life_n have_v the_o law_n write_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o so_o reform_v ourselves_o hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o none_o can_v repent_v of_o themselves_o or_o when_o they_o will._n true_a for_o it_o be_v say_v before_o that_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n give_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v bear_v again_o by_o this_o also_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o god_n child_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o repentance_n so_o long_o as_o they_o live_v yea_o for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n but_o carry_v always_o this_o corruption_n about_o they_o sometime_o fall_v and_o be_v far_o from_o that_o perfection_n of_o godliness_n which_o the_o lord_n require_v why_o then_o say_v our_o saviour_n christ_n that_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n rejoice_v more_o over_o one_o sinner_n that_o repent_v then_o over_o 99_o who_o need_v no_o repentance_n our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o repentance_n from_o dead_a work_n and_o gross_a sin_n whereof_o the_o righteous_a do_v not_o stand_v in_o need_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v daily_o to_o repent_v of_o their_o error_n and_o infirmity_n see_v it_o be_v say_v before_o that_o good_a work_n proceed_v from_o repentance_n what_o property_n be_v require_v of_o work_n 1_o that_o they_o be_v such_o as_o god_n have_v command_v in_o his_o law_n 2_o that_o they_o which_o do_v they_o be_v ingraft_v into_o christ_n and_o do_v continue_v in_o he_o what_o say_v you_o then_o of_o their_o good_a work_n which_o be_v not_o in_o christ._n they_o do_v no_o good_a work_n because_o they_o neither_o be_v as_o yet_o member_n of_o christ_n neither_o do_v they_o offer_v they_o in_o his_o name_n 3_o that_o they_o be_v do_v to_o glorify_v god_n and_o assure_v we_o of_o salvation_n be_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o seek_v our_o own_o praise_n or_o merit_n by_o our_o good_a work_n no_o for_o all_o our_o good_a work_n be_v imperfect_a and_o salvation_n be_v only_o merit_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ._n we_o have_v hear_v that_o the_o law_n work_v knowledge_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o feel_n of_o our_o misery_n what_o mean_n have_v god_n ordain_v to_o work_v faith_n in_o us._n these_o five_o the_o gospel_n prayer_n sacrament_n discipline_n and_o affliction_n how_o many_o kind_n of_o faith_n be_v there_o 1_o two_o general_n whereby_o i_o believe_v god_n to_o be_v true_a in_o all_o his_o word_n 2_o special_a whereby_o either_o i_o believe_v god_n to_o be_v just_a in_o his_o threaten_n and_o so_o be_o make_v penitent_a or_o else_o whereby_o i_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v merciful_a in_o his_o promise_n and_o so_o come_v to_o repentance_n what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o penitence_n and_o repentance_n penitence_n be_v a_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n wrought_v by_o the_o law._n repentance_n be_v a_o remove_n ourselves_o from_o sin_n wrought_v by_o the_o gospel_n be_v there_o such_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n yea_o they_o differ_v in_o four_o thing_n 1_o the_o law_n reveal_v sin_n rebuke_v we_o for_o it_o and_o leave_v we_o in_o it_o the_o gospel_n reveal_v unto_o we_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o free_v from_o the_o punishment_n belong_v thereunto_o 2_o the_o law_n command_v to_o do_v good_a and_o give_v no_o strength_n but_o the_o gospel_n enable_v we_o to_o do_v good_a the_o holy_a ghost_n write_v the_o law_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o assure_v we_o of_o the_o promise_n 3_o the_o law_n be_v the_o ministry_n of_o wrath_n death_n and_o condemnation_n but_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o ministry_n of_o grace_n justification_n and_o life_n 4_o in_o many_o point_v the_o law_n may_v be_v conceive_v by_o reason_n but_o the_o gospel_n can_v be_v far_o above_o man_n reason_n wherein_o do_v they_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v both_o of_o god_n and_o declare_v one_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n though_o they_o differ_v in_o offer_v it_o unto_o us._n what_o be_v that_o one_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n the_o perfect_a love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o our_o neighbour_n what_o ensue_v hereof_o that_o the_o severe_a law_n pronounce_v all_o the_o faithful_a righteous_a because_o they_o
