good_a work_n worthy_a of_o that_o glory_n second_o condign_a merit_n be_v such_o that_o eternal_a life_n be_v due_a unto_o they_o by_o right_a insomuch_o as_o god_n shall_v seem_v to_o do_v wrong_a if_o he_o do_v not_o bestow_v it_o as_o the_o papist_n most_o presumptuous_o teach_v but_o our_o good_a work_n be_v not_o such_o as_o bernard_n here_o plain_o testify_v therefore_o our_o good_a work_n be_v not_o condign_a merit_n of_o eternal_a life_n three_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n do_v not_o merit_v of_o god_n yea_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o merit_v at_o the_o

all_o this_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a colourable_a pretence_n for_o as_o they_o exclude_v from_o justification_n the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n by_o which_o only_o we_o have_v
