touch_v justification_n for_o the_o learned_a agree_v in_o many_o thing_n which_o in_o the_o beginning_n they_o have_v in_o great_a disputation_n all_o do_v now_o confess_v and_o maintain_v that_o

melancthon_n do_v suppose_v that_o there_o be_v very_o many_o man_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o they_o count_v learned_a that_o be_v not_o of_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o council_n of_o

in_o word_n we_o have_v say_v in_o the_o question_n precedent_n that_o the_o latin_n and_o the_o reform_a agree_v upon_o the_o point_n of_o free_a will_n if_o all_o the_o latin_n will_v confess_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o elect_n be_v a_o full_a assurance_n we_o say_v the_o very_a same_o in_o this_o point_n of_o justification_n but_o to_o show_v where_o the_o difference_n be_v we_o ought_v not_o to_o use_v the_o word_n faith_n or_o justification_n without_o distinguish_v of_o what_o faith_n or_o what_o justification_n we_o speak_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n say_v four_o

the_o begin_n of_o man_n salvation_n and_o that_o this_o faith_n come_v from_o god_n the_o protestant_n do_v acknowledge_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v necessary_a first_o that_o one_o believe_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o true_a history_n and_o then_o that_o one_o can_v believe_v perfecty_n and_o as_o he_o ought_v without_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o the_o same_o council_n say_v second_o that_o this_o historical_a faith_n be_v the_o beginning_n and_o root_n of_o justification_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o it_o bring_v forth_o good_a work_n which_o god_n do_v approve_v and_o for_o which_o god_n justify_v a_o man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o hold_v and_o declare_v he_o just_a the_o protestant_n say_v that_o this_o faith_n may_v bring_v forth_o a_o certain_a inherent_a justice_n through_o the_o which_o a_o man_n be_v christ_n justify_v secondum_fw-la quid_fw-la that_o be_v in_o a_o sort_n but_o not_o absolute_o for_o a_o man_n that_o do_v one_o good_a work_n do_v a_o thousand_o bad_a work_n which_o do_v make_v he_o unjust_a so_o that_o the_o same_o man_n be_v good_a and_o bad_a just_a and_o unjust_a approve_v of_o

in_o the_o three_o place_n the_o council_n say_v that_o through_o this_o historical_a faith_n a_o man_n be_v not_o absolve_v of_o his_o former_a sin_n the_o protestant_n do_v confess_v as_o much_o and_o add_v withal_o that_o no_o more_o be_v he_o through_o good_a work_n which_o proceed_v from_o thence_o which_o say_v they_o be_v not_o good_a but_o for_o humane_a society_n sake_n in_o the_o four_o place_n the_o council_n say_v that_o saint_n paul_n and_o s._n james_n speak_v of_o this_o faith_n in_o the_o example_n which_o they_o allege_v of_o abraham_n the_o which_o say_v the_o council_n be_v justify_v that_o be_v to_o say_v find_v just_a in_o that_o he_o believe_v god_n but_o plain_o justify_v that_o be_v to_o say_v hold_v just_a of_o all_o when_o he_o effect_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n the_o church_n of_o the_o east_n do_v approve_v this_o opinion_n but_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a to_o debate_v much_o touch_v the_o intention_n and_o meaning_n of_o s._n paul_n the_o scripture_n may_v receive_v diverse_a exposition_n and_o all_o orthodox_a it_o be_v certain_a that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v in_o that_o he_o believe_v and_o more_o just_a in_o that_o he_o lay_v his_o hand_n to_o the_o work_n but_o there_o be_v two_o conclusion_n wherein_o the_o apostolic_a church_n and_o the_o reform_a church_n be_v contrary_a in_o the_o say_a council_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o say_a council_n do_v hold_v that_o through_o the_o work_n which_o proceed_v of_o this_o historical_a faith_n a_o man_n obtain_v other_o say_v a_o man_n merit_v that_o god_n shall_v pardon_v his_o former_a sin_n in_o impute_v unto_o they_o that_o do_v those_o good_a work_n the_o merit_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o our_o saviour_n the_o protestant_n on_o the_o contrary_a side_n say_v that_o such_o work_n proceed_v from_o such_o historical_a faith_n serve_v not_o to_o salvation_n hereunto_o the_o church_n of_o the_o east_n do_v agree_v who_o say_v that_o the_o work_n which_o proceed_v from_o a_o true_a faith_n be_v true_o good_a and_o they_o call_v this_o faith_n confidence_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v note_v to_o the_o end_n that_o none_o shall_v doubt_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o history_n for_o they_o declare_v sufficient_o that_o they_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a that_o a_o repentant_a man_n shall_v doubt_v of_o his_o salvation_n that_o be_v also_o see_v more_o plain_o in_o that_o that_o they_o of_o the_o east_n have_v write_v before_o to_o the_o protestant_n of_o germany_n who_o press_v very_o hard_a this_o point_n of_o confidence_n wherein_o they_o of_o the_o east_n do_v approve_v and_o confirm_v their_o say_n the_o second_o difference_n be_v in_o that_o the_o protestant_n say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v absolve_v they_o call_v it_o justify_v at_o that_o instant_n that_o he_o receive_v this_o confidence_n by_o divine_a inspiration_n and_o that_o without_o any_o consideration_n of_o precedent_a work_n otherwise_o grace_n shall_v be_v no_o grace_n as_o also_o without_o consideration_n of_o any_o future_a work_n for_o it_o happen_v sometime_o as_o it_o do_v to_o the_o good_a thief_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v no_o time_n to_o do_v good_a work_n and_o if_o the_o faith_n of_o confidence_n suffice_v as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v in_o fused_a yea_o and_o suffice_v as_o a_o instrumental_a cause_n to_o put_v a_o man_n in_o possession_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o absolution_n it_o follow_v that_o during_o all_o the_o term_n of_o a_o man_n life_n he_o need_v not_o seek_v any_o other_o instrumental_a cause_n of_o this_o application_n for_o when_o our_o saviour_n heal_v the_o sick_a he_o say_v not_o unto_o they_o love_v thou_o i_o although_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v love_v he_o but_o he_o say_v to_o they_o believe_v thou_o for_o by_o this_o belief_n they_o be_v heal_v and_o that_o the_o church_n of_o the_o east_n do_v believe_v that_o this_o confidence_n put_v a_o man_n in_o possession_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n they_o show_v in_o that_o which_o their_o patriarch_n say_v that_o his_o confidence_n unit_v thing_n separate_v and_o that_o distrust_n do_v disunite_a and_o separate_v they_o for_o what_o union_n can_v there_o be_v with_o god_n without_o remission_n of_o sin_n moreover_o the_o grecian_n confess_v that_o god_n inspire_v this_o confidence_n if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o follow_v that_o at_o that_o very_a instant_n a_o man_n obtain_v pardon_v otherwise_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o author_n of_o deceitful_a and_o vain_a confidence_n but_o some_o will_v then_o demand_v to_o what_o end_n serve_v good_a work_n the_o grecian_n and_o the_o protestant_n with_o one_o consent_n do_v answer_v that_o

without_o they_o one_o can_v be_v save_v and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o good_a work_n a_o man_n fall_v from_o the_o absolution_n already_o receive_v and_o look_v how_o much_o force_n confidence_n have_v to_o put_v a_o man_n in_o possession_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o much_o evil_a work_n have_v that_o be_v to_o say_v so_o long_o as_o they_o remain_v and_o reign_v in_o the_o soul_n to_o break_v the_o union_n that_o faith_n have_v contract_v in_o like_a manner_n good_a work_n be_v cause_n sine_fw-la quibus_fw-la non_fw-la of_o this_o justification_n or_o else_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v cause_n per_fw-la accidens_fw-la neither_o the_o christian_a church_n of_o this_o time_n nor_o the_o father_n nor_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v set_v down_o the_o order_n of_o every_o one_o of_o these_o cause_n according_a to_o the_o term_n of_o philosopher_n neither_o be_v it_o necessary_a it_o suffice_v that_o every_o one_o have_v faith_n and_o that_o every_o one_o give_v himself_o to_o good_a work_n and_o that_o he_o know_v that_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v necessary_a the_o difference_n between_o the_o foresay_a people_n and_o the_o protestant_n be_v that_o the_o protestant_n see_v that_o the_o latin_n do_v not_o attribute_n enough_o to_o faith_n or_o rather_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v this_o faith_n of_o confidence_n to_o the_o which_o they_o attribute_v so_o much_o can_v endure_v to_o have_v this_o faith_n disgrace_v and_o other_o christian_n hear_v of_o the_o commendation_n of_o this_o faith_n do_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o it_o make_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o good_a work_n for_o which_o cause_n they_o can_v by_o any_o mean_n hold_v their_o peace_n well_o then_o because_o that_o we_o have_v say_v that_o evil_a work_n cause_n man_n to_o fall_v from_o justification_n that_o be_v to_o say_v from_o absolution_n which_o be_v the_o belief_n receive_v without_o any_o contradiction_n in_o all_o time_n and_o by_o all_o christian_a people_n it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o among_o the_o protestant_n there_o be_v some_o find_v for_o all_o do_v not_o so_o as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o confession_n of_o ausburg_n bohemia_n saxony_n and_o wirtenberg_n which_o say_v that_o he_o that_o have_v this_o justify_n faith_n can_v fall_v from_o whence_o it_o follow_v according_a to_o their_o say_n that_o he_o which_o believe_v himself_o to_o be_v justify_v may_v give_v himself_o to_o all_o wickedness_n to_o this_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o those_o which_o hold_v this_o proposition_n either_o do_v not_o explain_v themselves_o well_o or_o else_o their_o explication_n be_v not_o well_o understand_v for_o they_o say_v not_o simple_o that_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v justify_v but_o only_o he_o that_o be_v repentant_a aught_o so_o to_o believe_v also_o that_o repentance_n whereof_o every_o one_o may_v judge_v in_o his_o own_o soul_n show_v whether_o his_o faith_n be_v a_o

to_o say_v that_o none_o can_v have_v this_o confidence_n at_o such_o time_n as_o vice_n and_o sin_n do_v reign_v in_o he_o and_o if_o one_o can_v have_v it_o be_v not_o this_o as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o if_o one_o have_v it_o he_o may_v loose_v it_o in_o give_v himself_o to_o wickedness_n but_o behold_v here_o how_o their_o say_n be_v true_a forsooth_o because_o confidence_n of_o faith_n do_v coutaine_a in_o it_o historical_a faith_n which_o remain_v in_o he_o in_o who_o vice_n do_v reign_v as_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n also_o say_v and_o this_o faith_n if_o he_o be_v elect_v will_v move_v he_o to_o repentance_n which_o end_v not_o in_o despair_n as_o in_o the_o reprobate_n but_o in_o a_o full_a confidence_n and_o all_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n the_o catholic_a conclusion_n be_v that_o a_o man_n receive_v remission_n of_o his_o sin_n at_o the_o very_a instant_n that_o the_o assurance_n of_o faith_n be_v infuse_v into_o his_o soul_n and_o that_o without_o
