by_o the_o iiij_o chapter_n evident_o disprove_v for_o it_o be_v there_o plain_a that_o all_o the_o work_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n be_v as_o direct_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n as_o death_n unto_o life_n darkness_n unto_o light_n or_o cold_a unto_o heat_n and_o yet_o out_o of_o that_o hateful_a hoard_v must_v they_o of_o force_n take_v their_o counterfeit_a store_n see_v they_o will_v needs_o have_v work_n to_o justify_v for_o that_o enfer_v that_o those_o work_n must_v go_v before_o justification_n and_o so_o be_v wrought_v before_o the_o man_n be_v righteous_a which_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o the_o fruit_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n for_o until_o he_o be_v righteous_a he_o be_v wicked_a and_o by_o their_o doctrine_n he_o can_v not_o be_v righteous_a until_o the_o work_n have_v

of_o righteousness_n which_o fruit_n be_v in_o you_o by_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o the_o glory_n &_o praise_v of_o god._n here_o in_o these_o word_n of_o paul_n we_o may_v learn_v the_o efficient_a cause_n the_o formal_a cause_n the_o material_a cause_n and_o the_o final_a cause_n of_o good_a work_n by_o which_o cause_n it_o do_v evident_o appear_v that_o before_o justification_n no_o good_a work_n can_v be_v wrought_v and_o that_o the_o end_n of_o good_a work_v be_v not_o to_o justify_v the_o doer_n of_o they_o but_o only_o to_o the_o glory_n and_o praise_n of_o god_n wherefore_o let_v we_o consider_v his_o word_n first_o in_o that_o he_o say_v that_o you_o may_v be_v pure_a and_o without_o offence_n he_o show_v what_o be_v the_o office_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n namely_o to_o labour_v for_o such_o pure_a and_o unspotted_a conversation_n as_o no_o offence_n may_v just_o be_v gather_v by_o the_o same_o he_o say_v moreover_o until_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n to_o show_v that_o the_o endeavour_n towards_o goodness_n must_v have_v continuance_n through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o the_o life_n have_v thus_o show_v both_o the_o office_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n and_o the_o term_n of_o his_o continuance_n in_o the_o execution_n thereof_o he_o go_v forward_o to_o show_v what_o furniture_n be_v necessary_a in_o he_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o office_n in_o say_v fill_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n here_o he_o show_v wherewith_o he_o must_v be_v fill_v that_o must_v be_v pure_a and_o without_o offence_n namely_o with_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n that_o be_v with_o good_a work_n and_o as_o he_o teach_v in_o these_o word_n that_o good_a work_n be_v the_o furniture_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n so_o do_v he_o also_o teach_v in_o the_o same_o word_n both_o the_o formal_a cause_n &_o the_o material_a cause_n of_o good_a work_v for_o in_o that_o he_o say_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n he_o show_v that_o righteousness_n or_o justification_n be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o they_o which_o as_o a_o good_a tree_n bring_v forth_o her_o good_a fruit_n he_o also_o show_v that_o the_o material_a cause_n of_o any_o good_a work_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n whereby_o it_o be_v clear_a than_o the_o sun_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n until_o the_o bringer_n forth_o thereof_o be_v transform_v into_o a_o tree_n of_o righteousness_n neither_o can_v the_o material_a cause_n have_v she_o be_v until_o first_o the_o formal_a cause_n be_v generate_v for_o the_o tree_n must_v be_v before_o the_o fruit_n and_o in_o this_o place_n do_v paul_n open_v the_o word_n of_o isaiah_n in_o the._n 61._o chapter_n where_o he_o say_v they_o shall_v be_v call_v tree_n of_o righteousness_n which_o cause_n paul_n do_v insinuate_v by_o express_v the_o effect_n in_o that_o he_o say_v fill_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n which_o employ_v that_o the_o bringer_n forth_o of_o those_o fruit_n must_v needs_o be_v tréee_n of_o righteousness_n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o work_v be_v good_a but_o that_o which_o be_v bring_v forth_o by_o a_o righteous_a man_n see_v that_o it_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n but_o none_o be_v a_o righteous_a man_n until_o he_o be_v justify_v therefore_o can_v none_o bring_v forth_o good_a work_n but_o such_o as_o be_v already_o justify_v whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o before_o justification_n no_o good_a work_v can_v be_v wrought_v paul_n go_v forward_o and_o say_v which_o fruit_n be_v in_o you_o by_o jesus_n chryst_n here_o do_v he_o evident_o declare_v what_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o good_a work_v namely_o jesus_n chryst_n so_o that_o where_o before_o he_o have_v teach_v justification_n or_o righteousness_n to_o be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o good_a work_v and_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o to_o be_v the_o material_a cause_n for_o that_o he_o will_v leave_v no_o doubt_n

god_n in_o we_o here_o be_v the_o show_n of_o a_o goodly_a substance_n but_o launch_v it_o a_o little_a and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o nothing_o else_o but_o a_o empty_a bladder_n puff_v with_o wind_n only_o mark_v who_o be_v the_o work_v which_o here_o they_o answer_n allege_v be_v they_o not_o the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o we_o do_v they_o not_o imagine_v god_n to_o work_v in_o we_o but_o as_o have_v be_v before_o evident_o show_v god_n work_v unto_o salvation_n in_o none_o but_o in_o those_o that_o be_v his_o child_n that_o be_v to_o say_v justify_v for_o they_o that_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n that_o be_v justify_v why_o if_o they_o be_v his_o child_n already_o the_o question_n be_v end_v for_o those_o work_n that_o come_v after_o they_o be_v his_o child_n can_v not_o be_v the_o purchaser_n of_o that_o estate_n whereof_o the_o doer_n be_v possess_v before_o they_o be_v wrought_v wherefore_o those_o work_v do_v not_o justify_v he_o that_o work_n be_v justify_v before_o ever_o he_o wrought_v they_o for_o he_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n before_o he_o wrought_v they_o for_o they_o confess_v god_n to_o dwell_v in_o he_o and_o work_v in_o he_o but_o god_n dwell_v and_o work_v justify_v in_o none_o unto_o salvation_n but_o in_o his_o child_n that_o be_v in_o the_o justify_v as_o it_o be_v say_v before_o wherefore_o gentle_a reader_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v able_a to_o unfold_v all_o the_o subtle_a shift_n of_o the_o deceitful_a adversary_n intricate_a snare_n of_o this_o kind_n keep_v this_o for_o a_o general_a and_o sure_a rule_n which_o can_v never_o fail_v thou_o mark_v diligent_o whether_o in_o that_o work_n whereby_o they_o will_v have_v justification_n obtain_v they_o avouch_v god_n to_o be_v any_o worker_n or_o no._n if_o they_o avouch_v he_o to_o be_v no_o worker_n then_o by_o the._n 4._o and_o 5._o chapter_n thou_o evident_o see_v that_o the_o work_n be_v abominable_a unto_o he_o if_o they_o avouch_v he_o to_o be_v a_o worker_n as_o in_o this_o argument_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o must_v needs_o do_v they_o say_v unto_o they_o see_v god_n work_v in_o they_o to_o salvation_n they_o be_v child_n before_o hand_n the_o child_n of_o god_n that_o be_v justify_v already_o for_o the_o scripture_n affirm_v that_o they_o that_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n but_o none_o be_v his_o child_n till_o they_o be_v justify_v and_o therefore_o these_o work_n which_o they_o avouch_v be_v the_o work_v of_o such_o as_o be_v alredyiustify_v which_o be_v not_o in_o question_n for_o those_o work_v can_v be_v no_o help_n to_o obtain_v he_o that_o estate_n whereof_o he_o be_v possess_v before_o they_o be_v wrought_v and_o without_o the_o possession_n whereof_o they_o can_v never_o have_v be_v wrought_v wherefore_o if_o they_o will_v have_v work_v to_o justify_v they_o must_v allege_v such_o work_v as_o god_n be_v no_o worker_n in_o for_o god_n work_v in_o none_o unto_o salvation_n faith_n but_o in_o such_o as_o be_v already_o justify_v for_o whosoever_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n he_o be_v already_o justify_v for_o he_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o i_o say_v before_o now_o touch_v these_o scripture_n which_o i_o put_v in_o the_o last_o sort_n name_o where_o the_o righteous_a challenge_n and_o crave_v of_o god_n the_o reward_n of_o their_o innocency_n and_o righteousness_n and_o as_o it_o be_v offer_v the_o same_o to_o be_v examine_v before_o his_o justice_n of_o which_o example_n there_o be_v principal_o in_o the_o psalm_n whereof_o i_o will_v 7._o rehearse_v one_o or_o two_o first_o david_n in_o the._n 7._o psalm_n judge_v i_o oh_o lord_n accord_v to_o my_o innocency_n and_o according_a to_o the_o cleanness_n of_o my_o hand_n in_o thy_o sight_n and_o
