that_o man_n can_v allege_v too_o bind_v god_n withal_o as_o though_o they_o be_v able_a to_o become_v righteouse_a of_o themselves_o for_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o although_o we_o be_v

furthermore_o s._n paul_n debate_v of_o the_o case_n of_o ceremony_n be_v because_o these_o hypocrite_n which_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o match_v themselves_o with_o god_n and_o too_o have_v the_o

then_o all_o these_o hypocrite_n which_o will_v needs_o become_v righteous_a by_o their_o own_o work_n have_v nothing_o but_o gewgaw_n and_o dotage_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o think_v

have_v good_a reason_n to_o hold_v they_o so_o at_o the_o staff_n end_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nor_o any_o such_o promise_n what_o will_v come_v of_o it_o we_o know_v that_o the_o

and_o look_v upon_o he_o single_o in_o his_o faith_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o god_n justify_v of_o we_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o his_o own_o mere_a and_o alone_a goodness_n and_o that_o thereupon_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o rest_v in_o his_o promise_n by_o the_o virtue_n whereof_o he_o allow_v and_o accept_v we_o yea_o and_o our_o work_n also_o not_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o come_v of_o ourselves_o but_o for_o that_o we_o do_v they_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o do_v he_o accept_v they_o and_o allow_v they_o as_o righteous_a yea_o even_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o to_o reward_v they_o as_o the_o whole_a scripture_n do_v plentiful_o witness_v and_o yet_o do_v all_o this_o also_o proceed_v of_o faith_n for_o when_o we_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v too_o say_v accept_v for_o righteous_a before_o god_n then_o also_o be_v our_o work_n justify_v that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n accept_v they_o for_o rightful_a although_o there_o be_v not_o any_o worthiness_n in_o they_o nor_o any_o cause_n at_o all_o why_o he_o shall_v receive_v they_o then_o like_a as_o we_o ourselves_o be_v justify_v by_o god_n only_o free_a goodness_n when_o we_o receyve_v his_o promise_n by_o faith_n even_o so_o be_v our_o work_n justify_v by_o the_o self_n same_o mean_a after_o that_o manner_n be_v abraham_n justify_v in_o his_o person_n and_o then_o likewise_o be_v his_o work_n also_o justify_v before_o god_n but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v if_o you_o consider_v the_o original_a cause_n and_o wellspring_n of_o all_o you_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o nothing_o else_o be_v make_v account_n of_o but_o only_a faith_n for_o have_v god_n list_v to_o sift_v abraham_n life_n he_o have_v be_v condemn_v as_o all_o other_o mortal_a man_n be_v but_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o take_v he_o for_o his_o own_o and_o nothing_o persuade_v or_o move_v he_o thereunto_o but_o his_o own_o mere_a mercy_n also_o abraham_n have_v his_o eye_n shut_v against_o all_o vain_a trust_v wherewith_o man_n deceyve_v themselves_o he_o know_v there_o be_v nothing_o able_a to_o bring_v he_o to_o life_n save_o the_o only_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o be_v short_a like_a as_o abraham_n have_v no_o regard_n but_o of_o god_n mere_a mercy_n so_o god_n have_v no_o regard_n but_o only_o of_o abraham_n faith_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v he_o justify_v so_o then_o let_v we_o leave_v all_o thing_n that_o man_n imagine_v to_o bring_v themselves_o in_o favour_n with_o god_n by_o mingle_v this_o and_o that_o with_o faith_n for_o they_o be_v all_o but_o falshod_n and_o illusion_n of_o satan_n and_o let_v faith_n have_v such_o foundation_n as_o this_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o with_o all_o humility_n we_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v then_o righteous_a when_o god_n forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o by_o the_o same_o mean_v our_o work_n also_o be_v reckon_v for_o good_a and_o righteous_a because_o god_n list_v not_o to_o sift_v they_o narrow_o but_o take_v they_o in_o good_a worth_n of_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v upon_o that_o text_n now_o that_o the_o blessedness_n of_o abraham_n belong_v unto_o we_o and_o be_v mean_v unto_o we_o it_o appear_v by_o that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o and_o by_o that_o s._n paul_n avouch_v that_o all_o

but_o leaudnesse_n filthiness_n and_o unclennesse_n and_o that_o all_o the_o virtue_n which_o we_o dream_v upon_o be_v but_o vanity_n &_o lease_n yet_o can_v he_o not_o compass_v to_o humble_v we_o till_o we_o ourselves_o perceive_v our_o own_o need_n and_o have_v it_o prove_v to_o our_o face_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o the_o reason_n which_o s._n paul_n add_v here_o to_o draw_v we_o to_o the_o pure_a faith_n and_o to_o turn_v we_o away_o from_o all_o the_o vain_a trust_v which_o we_o can_v have_v in_o our_o own_o deserve_n all_o they_o say_v he_o that_o

when_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o all_o they_o which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n be_v curse_v he_o mean_v that_o so_o long_o as_o man_n rest_n and_o muse_v upon_o their_o own_o work_n and_o think_v to_o obtain_v grace_n by_o that_o mean_a before_o god_n they_o be_v curse_v for_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o like_o as_o he_o that_o forsake_v himself_o and_o renounce_v all_o that_o he_o
