with_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ_n as_o of_o a_o lamb_n undefiled_a and_o without_o spot_n and_o in_o his_o latter_a epistle_n after_o the_o rehearsal_n of_o certain_a virtue_n he_o add_v

we_o as_o a_o reproach_n 5._o even_o so_o be_v it_o in_o the_o time_n of_o paul_n the_o apostle_n when_o many_o object_v &_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n teach_v man_n to_o do_v evil_a the_o good_a

yet_o the_o apostle_n continue_v most_o constant_o and_o earnest_o in_o teach_v that_o doctrine_n neither_o do_v they_o inhybite_v the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n because_o the_o some_o man_n

for_o so_o it_o be_v the_o 2._o will_n of_o god_n that_o with_o well_o do_v you_o may_v stop_v the_o ignorance_n of_o foolish_a man_n as_o free_v and_o not_o as_o have_v the_o liberty_n for_o a_o

preacher_n and_o writer_n can_v choose_v but_o light_o please_v god_n and_o good_a man_n that_o press_v the_o world_n to_o wear_v their_o badge_n and_o to_o show_v forth_o as_o it_o be_v their_o

the_o rather_o for_o that_o i_o say_v before_o that_o work_n do_v not_o deserve_v neither_o merit_n justification_n nor_o salvation_n whereby_o my_o reader_n may_v happy_o be_v discorrage_v from_o

our_o doctrine_n be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o lycencyousnes_n and_o liberty_n what_o we_o teach_v and_o think_v of_o good_a work_n those_o homily_n write_v in_o our_o english_a tongue_n of_o salvation_n

of_o a_o absolute_a discourse_n in_o this_o matter_n as_o for_o the_o reproachful_a speech_n of_o the_o papist_n who_o cry_v out_o and_o say_v that_o the_o position_n only_a faith_n justify_v be_v

what_o all_o godly_a man_n think_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o first_o where_o as_o many_o take_v offence_n with_o this_o proposition_n which_o we_o preach_v and_o teach_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v expound_v by_o faith_n only_o in_o christ_n it_o be_v because_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v our_o doctrine_n in_o that_o behalf_n for_o we_o mean_v nothing_o less_o then_o to_o reject_v or_o take_v away_o good_a work_n and_o honest_a action_n but_o we_o only_o exclude_v confidence_n and_o trust_v in_o man_n work_n which_o have_v no_o place_n at_o all_o in_o justification_n and_o reject_v that_o dignity_n be_v ascribe_v to_o faith_n because_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o instrument_n to_o apprehend_v christ_n and_o be_v much_o like_o a_o coundyte_n pipe_n whereby_o as_o by_o a_o mean_a the_o

make_v the_o child_n of_o god_n faith_n by_o her_o own_o dignity_n and_o worthiness_n do_v justification_n not_o demeryte_v justice_n and_o righteousness_n but_o receive_v and_o embrace_v the_o same_o offer_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n so_o that_o in_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_o and_o merit_n of_o christ_n who_o in_o sheedding_n of_o his_o precious_a blood_n have_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n we_o ought_v to_o repose_v all_o our_o trust_n and_o confidence_n but_o our_o adversary_n object_n say_v if_o you_o do_v not_o exclude_v the_o promise_n why_o do_v you_o say_v that_o faith_n only_o justify_v and_o they_o add_v let_v faith_n justify_v in_o adversary_n god_n name_n so_o that_o you_o say_v not_o faith_n only_o justify_v whereunto_o we_o
