have_v a_o necessity_n depend_v of_o good_a work_n as_o necessary_o as_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o body_n and_o the_o fruit_n to_o the_o tree_n and_o that_o this_o faith_n declare_v itself_o to_o be_v plentiful_a in_o good_a action_n the_o fruit_n of_o a_o live_a faith_n we_o may_v then_o with_o saint_n james_n conclude_v against_o they_o for_o he_o do_v not_o as_o they_o do_v disinable_a all_o faith_n in_o the_o work_n of_o justification_n but_o only_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v dead_a note_n note_n and_o without_o work_n so_o both_o opinion_n imply_v a_o necessity_n of_o work_n the_o one_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o justification_n and_o the_o other_o as_o a_o effect_n in_o they_o justify_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v large_a in_o number_v authority_n and_o in_o report_v such_o

with_o that_o faith_n which_o justifi_v be_v inseparable_o unite_v unto_o it_o but_o that_o only_a faith_n and_o not_o charity_n be_v the_o mean_n by_o which_o we_o embrace_v jesus_n christ_n our_o

testimony_n of_o good_a work_n because_o there_o be_v a_o inevitable_a necessity_n of_o consequence_n and_o necessary_a dependence_n between_o faith_n and_o work_v they_o be_v as_o inseparable_a as_o

good_a work_n therefore_o we_o have_v also_o the_o cause_n of_o work_n true_a faith_n and_o that_o therefore_o this_o faith_n thus_o work_v be_v a_o tree_n of_o god_n own_o plant_n this_o be_v that_o

but_o thus_o let_v we_o therefore_o avoid_v and_o abolish_v that_o dangerous_a opinion_n of_o merit_v by_o work_n because_o it_o be_v far_o better_a to_o want_v honour_n then_o to_o force_v it_o from_o god_n by_o violence_n nay_o let_v we_o rather_o disgrace_v ourselves_o then_o to_o dis-inable_a our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n for_o if_o righteousness_n be_v from_o ourselves_o it_o be_v
