next_o quotation_n be_v from_o bellarmine_n who_o tell_v we_o say_v he_o 17._o de_fw-fr justif_a lib_n 5._o c._n 17._o that_o our_o good_a work_n do_v merit_v eternal_a life_n condign_o not_o by_o reason_n of_o god_n covenant_n and_o acceptation_n but_o also_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o work_n itself_o the_o title_n indeed_o of_o that_o chapter_n be_v something_o towards_o that_o sense_n for_o

the_o chapter_n itself_o we_o shall_v see_v his_o sense_n and_o that_o he_o only_o hold_v a_o scholastic_a opinion_n as_o most_o probable_a and_o one_o not_o so_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n as_o he_o will_v have_v it_o nor_o so_o erroneous_a as_o that_o it_o need_v a_o index_n expurgatorius_fw-la he_o tell_v we_o first_o there_o be_v three_o way_n by_o which_o good_a work_n may_v be_v condign_o meritorious_a either_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o covenant_n alone_o or_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o work_n alone_o or_o upon_o account_n of_o they_o both_o together_o then_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o several_a author_n have_v hold_v some_o one_o and_o some_o another_o of_o these_o way_n but_o he_o himself_o will_v keep_v the_o middle_n as_o most_o probable_a and_o show_v that_o the_o good_a work_n of_o the_o just_o be_v condign_o meritorious_a of_o eternal_a life_n not_o only_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o also_o of_o the_o work_n together_o with_o it_o and_o in_o prove_v this_o assertion_n he_o explicate_v his_o meaning_n and_o show_v first_o that_o the_o good_a work_n of_o the_o just_a take_v of_o themselves_o alone_o without_o that_o covenant_n be_v not_o condign_o or_o so_o rigorous_o meritorious_a of_o eternal_a life_n that_o god_n can_v not_o without_o a_o injustice_n refuse_v such_o a_o reward_n and_o second_o that_o in_o good_a work_n proceed_v from_o grace_n there_o be_v a_o certain_a proportion_n and_o equality_n to_o the_o reward_n of_o eternal_a life_n because_o eternal_a life_n be_v 1.16_o john_n 1.16_o as_o st._n john_n tell_v we_o grace._n for_o grace._n that_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o a_o reward_n for_o the_o grace_n of_o merit_n because_o grace_n be_v semen_n gloriae_fw-la the_o seed_n of_o glory_n and_o because_o our_o merit_n depend_v upon_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n both_o in_o this_o that_o he_o have_v merit_v for_o we_o the_o virtue_n of_o merit_v and_o in_o this_o that_o we_o merit_v as_o the_o live_a member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o a_o influence_n which_o we_o receive_v from_o he_o as_o from_o our_o head_n so_o that_o he_o conclude_v from_o these_o and_o several_a other_o reason_n bring_v by_o he_o all_o of_o which_o show_v he_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o either_o our_o work_n can_v be_v call_v good_a or_o we_o be_v esteem_v just_o without_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o say_v from_o these_o he_o conclude_v that_o it_o will_v be_v to_o detract_v from_o the_o glory_n of_o christ_n that_o our_o merit_n which_o receive_v all_o their_o value_n from_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o imperfect_a as_o not_o to_o be_v condign_o meritorious_a unless_o it_o be_v pure_o by_o reason_n of_o god_n acceptance_n now_o let_v any_o impartial_a man_n be_v judge_n whether_o this_o doctrine_n require_v so_o severe_a a_o censure_n as_o he_o will_v have_v the_o church_n to_o give_v upon_o it_o then_o he_o bring_v in_o vasquez_n alibi_fw-la in_o d._n th._n 1._o
