god_n by_o the_o mean_a of_o jesus_n christ._n 6._o oh_o wonderful_a glory_n of_o the_o christian_n to_o who_o it_o be_v grant_v through_o faith_n to_o possess_v the_o unspeakable_a benefit_n which_o the_o angel_n long_o to_o behold_v by_o this_o present_a discourse_n a_o man_n may_v plain_o perceive_v the_o difference_n that_o be_v betwixt_o we_o and_o they_o that_o defend_v y_fw-mi justification_n by_o faith_n and_o ●_z together_o herein_o we_o agree_v with_o they_o that_o we_o establish_v work_n affirm_v that_o the_o faith_n which_o justify_v can_v be_v without_o good_a work_n and_o that_o those_o which_o be_v become_v righteous_a be_v they_o that_o do_v the_o good_a work_n that_o may_v right_o be_v call_v good_a work_n 2_o but_o we_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o this_o that_o we_o say_v that_o faith_n make_v man_n righteous_a without_o the_o help_n of_o work_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v ready_a namely_o because_o that_o by_o faith_n we_o put_v on_o christ_n 3_n and_o make_v his_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n to_o be_v we_o and_o sing_v the_o case_n so_o stand_v that_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v give_v we_o by_o faith_n we_o can_v be_v so_o thankless_a blind_a and_o unhappy_a as_o not_o to_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v of_o sufficient_a ability_n to_o make_v we_o acceptable_a and_o righteous_a before_o god_n let_v we_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n 9_o if_o the_o blood_n of_o ox_n and_o goat_n and_o the_o ash_n of_o a_o cow_n sprinkle_a cleanse_v the_o unclean_a as_o touch_v in_o clenze_a of_o y_fw-es flesh_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o by_o the_o everlasting_a spirit_n offer_v himself_o undefiled_a unto_o god_n cleanse_v our_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n to_o serve_v the_o live_a god_n i_o

the_o benefit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n &_o pull_v down_o the_o pride_n of_o man_n which_o will_v exalt_v his_o own_o work_n against_o christ_n glory_n or_o the_o other_o which_o by_o affirm_v that_o faith_n of_o itself_o justifi_v not_o deface_v the_o glory_n and_o benefit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o puff_v up_o the_o pride_n of_o man_n who_o can_v abide_v to_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n without_o some_o merit_n of_o his_o own_o but_o say_v they_o it_o be_v a_o great_a quicken_n up_o to_o good_a work_n to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n make_v himself_o righteous_a before_o good_a by_o mean_n of_o they_o i_o answer_v that_o we_o also_o confess_v that_o good_a work_n be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n &_o that_o he_o of_o his_o mere_a grace_n and_o free_a liberality_n recompense_v they_o in_o paradise_n but_o we_o say_v moreover_o that_o no_o work_n be_v good_a save_v those_o y_fw-fr as_o s._n austin_n say_v be_v do_v by_o they_o that_o be_v become_v righteous_a

forasmuch_o as_o they_o know_v themselves_o to_o be_v righteous_a through_o god_n righteousness_n purchase_v by_o christ_n make_v no_o bargain_v with_o god_o for_o their_o work_n as_o though_o they_o
