that_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o justification_n of_o the_o gentile_n that_o abraham_n and_o the_o godly_a jew_n themselves_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o it_o but_o by_o faith_n and_o that_o by_o the_o work_n of_o it_o and_o consequent_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o covenant_n of_o innocency_n which_o no_o man_n ever_o keep_v no_o man_n can_v ever_o be_v justify_v and_o therefore_o that_o they_o be_v to_o look_v for_o justification_n by_o christ_n alone_o and_o by_o faith_n in_o he_o or_o by_o mere_a christianity_n which_o

as_o peter_n tell_v we_o 2_o pet._n 2._o and_o it_o seem_v by_o the_o epistle_n of_o james_n that_o this_o be_v part_n of_o it_o for_o he_o be_v fain_o there_o earnest_o to_o dispute_v against_o some_o who_o think_v that_o faith_n without_o christian_a work_n themselves_o will_v justify_v and_o flat_o affirm_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o that_o be_v

that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v judge_v that_o be_v justify_v or_o condemn_v according_a to_o their_o work_n but_o it_o be_v not_o this_o controversy_n between_o faith_n and_o work_n which_o i_o be_o
