then_o be_v but_o both_o we_o ourselves_o and_o all_o we_o do_n i_o say_v say_n thought_n and_o counsel_n be_v due_a unto_o god_n wherefore_o our_o merit_n do_v utter_o perish_v moreover_o those_o work_n whereby_o we_o shall_v merit_v aught_o to_o be_v of_o ourselves_o which_o can_v be_v affirm_v for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v god_n which_o work_v in_o we_o both_o to_o will_v &_o to_o

crow_v his_o gift_n in_o us._n and_o in_o his_o .100_o epistle_n ad_fw-la sixtus_n presbiterum_fw-la paul_n say_v he_o when_o he_o have_v say_v the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n do_v not_o straightway_o add_v contrary_o the_o reward_n of_o righteousness_n be_v everlasting_a life_n but_o grace_n say_v he_o be_v eternal_a life_n for_o that_o be_v not_o render_v to_o our_o merit_n but_o be_v give_v free_o he_o may_v in_o deed_n have_v write_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n if_o he_o will_v for_o the_o holy_a scripture_n sometime_o so_o speak_v but_o for_o that_o he_o be_v a_o defender_n of_o grace_n he_o will_v not_o geve_v occasion_n unto_o his_o enemy_n to_o impugn_v it_o far_o our_o work_v how_o holy_a so_o ever_o they_o appear_v be_v nevertheless_o unpure_a and_o imperfect_a wherefore_o they_o be_v woorthye_a rather_o of_o punishment_n then_o that_o they_o shall_v deserve_v any_o good_a and_o without_o doubt_n they_o shall_v be_v punish_v be_v not_o the_o redemption_n and_o justification_n which_o we_o have_v by_o christ_n our_o lord_n there_o ought_v also_o to_o be_v some_o anallogy_n or_o proportion_n between_o merit_n and_o reward_n whereof_o there_o be_v none_o between_o our_o work_n and_o eternal_a life_n for_o as_o paul_n say_v the_o suffering_n of_o this_o time_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o the_o glory_n to_o come_v which_o shall_v be_v reveal_v in_o us._n this_o be_v to_o be_v add_v that_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v not_o where_o find_v the_o name_n of_o merit_n some_o in_o deed_n be_v wont_a to_o bring_v the_o xvi_o chap._n of_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la and_o there_o they_o say_v it_o be_v write_v all_o mercy_n shall_v make_v place_n unto_o every_o one_o according_a to_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o work_n but_o they_o which_o object_n this_o thing_n let_v he_o look_v upon_o the_o greek_a text_n wherein_o it_o be_v thus_o write_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o be_v in_o latin_a deus_fw-la omni_fw-la misericordiae_fw-la faciet_fw-la locum_fw-la &_o cuique_fw-la iuxta_fw-la opera_fw-la sva_fw-la inveniet_fw-la which_o in_o englyshe_a signify_v god_n will_v make_v place_n unto_o all_o mercy_n and_o every_o man_n shall_v find_v according_a unto_o he_o work_v but_o in_o these_o word_n there_o be_v no_o mention_v make_v of_o merit_n only_o this_o be_v write_v that_o who_o work_v be_v good_a they_o shall_v be_v in_o good_a case_n but_o yet_o their_o work_v be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v merit_n or_o cause_n of_o reward_n i_o will_v not_o speak_v how_o that_o book_n be_v not_o in_o the_o canon_n because_o paul_n and_o the_o gospel_n use_v the_o same_o form_n of_o speak_v but_o of_o that_o which_o be_v write_v unto_o the_o hebrew_n by_o such_o sacrifice_n god_n be_v well_o please_v i_o have_v before_o speak_v now_o with_o one_o word_n only_o will_v i_o brief_o touch_v the_o thing_n this_o word_n of_o deserve_v be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o greek_a in_o greek_a be_v read_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d by_o which_o word_n be_v only_o signify_v that_o the_o good_a work_v of_o the_o faithful_a be_v grateful_a and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n reward_n of_o the_o word_n reward_n but_o as_o touch_v this_o word_n reward_n which_o some_o because_o they_o do_v not_o well_o understand_v it_o do_v take_v for_o merit_n we_o must_v divide_v it_o two_o manner_n of_o way_n for_o that_o be_v sometime_o call_v a_o reward_n which_o be_v give_v free_o but_o yet_o be_v promise_v by_o add_v of_o some_o work_n whereby_o man_n shall_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o do_v well_o so_o eternal_a life_n may_v be_v call_v a_o reward_n not_z that_o we_o deserve_v the_o same_o by_o our_o work_v but_o because_o by_o a_o certain_a order_n appoint_v of_o god_n it_o follow_v our_o good_a work_n but_o sometime_o a_o reward_n be_v that_o which_o be_v due_a unto_o good_a dede_n reward_n whither_o eternal_a life_n may_v be_v call_v a_o reward_n &_o be_v render_v unto_o they_o of_o duty_n after_o this_o manner_n eternal_a life_n can_v be_v call_v the_o reward_n of_o our_o work_n wherefore_o paul_n to_o the_o roman_n say_v abraham_n beleve_v god_n &_o it_o be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n but_o unto_o he_o which_o woork_v reward_n be_v not_o impute_v according_a to_o grace_n but_o according_a to_o debt_n wherefore_o eternal_a life_n for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v not_o of_o right_a dew_n can_v be_v a_o reward_n if_o the_o word_n be_v take_v in_o that_o signification_n but_o when_o they_o thus_o reason_n there_o be_v a_o reward_n give_v ergo_fw-la there_o be_v a_o merit_n the_o argument_n be_v not_o firm_a species_n a_o genere_fw-la ad_fw-la species_n because_o in_o affirm_v we_o may_v not_o descend_v from_o the_o general_a word_n to_o the_o species_n neither_o do_v he_o right_o conclude_v which_o say_v it_o be_v a_o live_a creature_n ergo_fw-la it_o be_v a_o man_n this_o general_a word_n reward_n have_v two_o species_n therefore_o this_o argument_n be_v not_o firm_a if_o we_o say_v it_o be_v a_o reward_n ergo_fw-la it_o be_v plain_a that_o it_o must_v be_v give_v of_o duty_n this_o say_n also_o of_o jeremy_n be_v to_o be_v add_v curse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o put_v his_o hope_n in_o man_n and_o call_v flesh_n his_o strength_n but_o all_o our_o thing_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v be_v not_o without_o flesh_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o put_v confidence_n in_o they_o jerome_n jerome_n and_o jerome_n write_v upon_o that_o place_n have_v very_o well_o bring_v in_o many_o thing_n whereby_o may_v be_v understand_v that_o in_o our_o work_n there_o be_v no_o regard_n of_o merit_n yea_o and_o the_o papist_n also_o themselves_o which_o be_v the_o patroness_n of_o merit_n be_v sometime_o compel_v to_o confess_v that_o our_o merit_n be_v nothing_o at_o all_o for_o on_o the_o 2._o sunday_n in_o the_o advent_a thus_o they_o pray_v be_v pacefy_v o_o god_n with_o the_o prayer_n of_o our_o humility_n and_o where_o help_n of_o merit_n do_v want_v succour_v we_o with_o the_o aid_n of_o of_o thy_o mercy_n the_o father_n when_o in_o their_o writing_n they_o oftentimes_o inculcate_v this_o word_n of_o merit_v do_v by_o it_o signify_v nothing_o else_o then_o to_o get_v to_o obtain_v and_o to_o attain_v to_o and_o as_o many_o of_o they_o as_o have_v write_v pure_o the_o same_o have_v detest_v the_o consideration_n of_o merit_n whereof_o the_o papist_n so_o much_o boast_v wherefore_o the_o israelite_n be_v not_o hear_v thoroughe_o the_o merit_n of_o their_o tear_n or_o prayer_n but_o because_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n to_o come_v they_o obtain_v forgevenes_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o by_o his_o merit_n only_o they_o return_v into_o favour_n again_o with_o god_n they_o offer_v sacrifice_v have_v what_o profit_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n have_v although_o i_o have_v before_o large_o speak_v of_o the_o sacrifice_n in_o the_o old_a time_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o good_a here_o also_o brief_o to_o touch_v what_o profit_n be_v of_o they_o in_o the_o old_a law_n when_o man_n be_v vex_v with_o calamity_n they_o begin_v to_o think_v upon_o their_o sin_n they_o look_v upon_o the_o law_n where_o when_o they_o behold_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n kindle_v for_o sin_n they_o be_v in_o hart_n deject_a in_o which_o perturbation_n there_o remain_v no_o remedy_n but_o to_o get_v they_o unto_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o sum_n and_o end_n of_o all_o sacrifice_n he_o do_v the_o father_n which_o be_v godly_a embrace_v by_o faith_n but_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n as_o often_o as_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v slay_v so_o often_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n set_v before_o the_o eye_n of_o those_o that_o stand_v by_o by_o who_o death_n the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o sign_n the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o older_n &_o we_o at_o all_o one_o but_o differ_v in_o outward_a simbole_n &_o sign_n wherefore_o they_o have_v after_o this_o manner_n a_o communion_n among_o themselves_o in_o christ_n which_o by_o sundry_a note_n and_o sign_n daily_o signify_v to_o the_o people_n in_o the_o old_a time_n wherhence_o they_o by_o faith_n receive_v unto_o their_o

for_o a_o most_o constant_a rule_n we_o gather_v also_o hereby_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o go_v about_o a_o wife_n by_o just_a way_n and_o mean_n as_o we_o see_v othoniel_n now_o to_o have_v do_v

not_o by_o riches_n not_o by_o power_n or_o nobility_n but_o by_o virtue_n now_o of_o day_n they_o do_v not_o so_o seek_v how_o a_o son_n in_o a_o law_n shall_v be_v seek_v and_o therefore_o the_o

sufficient_a to_o be_v seek_v for_o for_o asmuch_o as_o in_o this_o world_n nothing_o can_v happen_v more_o sweater_n than_o to_o obey_v god_n &_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n to_o be_v join_v unto_o he_o in_o live_v upright_o according_a to_o his_o commandment_n wherefore_o admit_v we_o shall_v obtain_v no_o other_o thing_n yet_o a_o sufficient_a reward_n &_o gain_n shall_v be_v render_v unto_o we_o gift_n why_o god_n set_v forth_o reward_n and_o gift_n if_o we_o may_v have_v a_o quiet_a and_o pacify_v conscience_n and_o be_v inward_o fill_v with_o spiritual_a joy_n but_o god_n such_o

thing_n that_o be_v good_a healthful_a and_o honest_a he_o will_v therefore_o stir_v up_o the_o same_o by_o promise_v manifold_a &_o sundry_a reward_n which_o kind_n of_o remedy_n we_o have_v not_o need_v if_o we_o have_v continue_v perfect_a and_o absolute_a as_o we_o be_v create_v who_o i_o pray_v you_o need_v with_o reward_n to_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o drink_v when_o he_o be_v thirsty_a or_o to_o eat_v when_o he_o be_v hungry_a sure_o no_o body_n wherefore_o neither_o need_n man_n if_o they_o hunger_v and_o thru_v for_o righteousness_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v a_o reward_n to_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o it_o a_o mother_n also_o use_v not_o to_o be_v entice_v with_o reward_n to_o geve_v suck_v to_o feed_v and_o care_n for_o she_o own_o child_n that_o it_o perish_v not_o commandment_n promise_n and_o threatnynge_n be_v add_v in_o the_o law_n to_o the_o commandment_n wherefore_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v therefore_o necessary_a unto_o man_n because_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n have_v wax_v cold_a from_o a_o vehement_a affection_n and_o zeal_n towards_o godly_a and_o holy_a work_n we_o be_v altogether_o dull_a and_o sluggishe_a to_o the_o office_n of_o

be_v find_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n we_o may_v conclude_v without_o doubt_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o than_o be_v that_o which_o we_o do_v to_o be_v allow_v when_o it_o agree_v with_o the_o example_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o rule_v of_o the_o scripture_n or_o else_o with_o the_o excellent_a act_n of_o holy_a man_n sake_n whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o do_v good_a for_o reward_n sake_n but_o now_o must_v we_o see_v whether_o he_o which_o do_v good_a work_n and_o perform_v the_o which_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n aught_o to_o be_v move_v with_o

that_o this_o must_v be_v the_o first_o ground_n that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o only_o appoint_v to_o some_o certain_a end_n when_o as_o god_n do_v nothing_o rash_o or_o by_o chance_n but_o also_o he_o

honest_o norishe_v both_o then selue_o &_o they_o no_o man_n will_v count_v that_o for_o a_o vice_n in_o they_o act_n for_o what_o thing_n we_o may_v avoid_v wicked_a act_n for_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v in_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o cor._n who_o go_v on_o warfarre_o at_o his_o own_o cost_n but_o now_o to_o descend_v to_o thing_n more_o particular_a when_o any_o man_n temper_v himself_o from_o any_o grievous_a wicked_a act_n he_o ought_v to_o do_v the_o first_o to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v obey_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v mete_v then_o that_o thereby_o he_o may_v escape_v either_o eternal_a or_o civil_a punishemente_n moreover_o that_o he_o may_v not_o offend_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o brethren_n and_o pluck_v they_o back_o from_o a_o holy_a conversation_n and_o pure_a life_n by_o his_o wicked_a example_n and_o final_o that_o by_o his_o wickedness_n he_o provoke_v not_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n either_o against_o himself_o or_o his_o family_n or_o against_o the_o people_n wherefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o end_n of_o our_o action_n be_v not_o simple_a but_o sundry_a and_o manifold_a and_o this_o be_v thus_o finish_v and_o conclude_v we_o must_v diligent_o take_v heed_n rest_n which_o end_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o rest_n that_o when_o many_o end_n be_v set_v before_o we_o we_o may_v prefer_v that_o

shall_v be_v prefer_v before_o the_o better_a we_o shall_v be_v just_o condemn_v for_o pervert_v the_o order_n of_o thing_n wherefore_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o directe_v not_o god_n himself_o or_o the_o worship_v of_o he_o either_o to_o our_o own_o commodity_n or_o else_o to_o any_o other_o end_n for_o they_o shall_v that_o sure_o happen_v unto_o we_o which_o augustine_n do_v so_o

sore_o detest_v augustine_n augustine_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o fruition_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o only_o ought_v to_o use_v &_o contrariwise_o we_o shall_v use_v those_o thing_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o fruition_n of_o than_o which_o perverseness_n in_o humane_a action_n no_o worse_o thing_n can_v be_v think_v action_n what_o be_v the_o chief_a perverseness_n of_o humane_a action_n wherefore_o when_o it_o be_v demand_v whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o well_o do_v to_o have_v a_o respect_n to_o the_o gain_n or_o reward_v we_o can_v not_o well_o deny_v but_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n himself_o have_v promise_v a_o reward_n to_o they_o which_o live_v godly_a neither_o do_v god_n that_o for_o any_o other_o cause_n than_o by_o

be_v diligent_o to_o be_v take_v heed_n of_o that_o we_o be_v not_o move_v only_o because_o of_o the_o reward_n which_o be_v offer_v us._n neither_o be_v this_o sufficient_a for_o if_o a_o man_n will_v say_v that_o he_o will_v in_o do_v good_a both_o obtain_v the_o reward_n set_v forth_o and_o by_o the_o same_o work_n obey_v god_n he_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o he_o attribute_v not_o the_o chief_a part_n to_o the_o gift_n or_o reward_n because_o always_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o among_o the_o end_n eke_v of_o they_o as_o he_o be_v more_o excellent_a by_o nature_n so_o ought_v it_o to_o be_v prefer_v in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o in_o this_o there_o need_v a_o singular_a diligence_n because_o it_o oftentimes_o happen_v that_o we_o deceive_v ourselves_o false_o suppose_v that_o nothing_o be_v more_o excellent_a or_o dear_a to_o our_o mind_n than_o god_n from_o who_o nevertheless_o we_o be_v by_o little_a and_o little_o withdraw_v and_o pluck_v back_o by_o reason_n of_o to_o much_o desire_n and_o delight_v of_o reward_n or_o gift_n wherefore_o it_o afterward_o happen_v punishemente_n if_o we_o prefer_v other_o thing_n before_o god_n we_o incur_v into_o grievous_a punishemente_n that_o we_o come_v to_o great_a misery_n thereby_o for_o when_o god_n perceave_v that_o we_o more_o esteem_v those_o thing_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v of_o less_o

howbeit_o i_o think_v it_o good_a this_o to_o be_v add_v that_o some_o judge_v that_o prodition_n &_o espial_n do_v not_o much_o differ_v one_o from_o another_o and_o that_o it_o may_v sometime_o
