of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o of_o work_n jest_n any_o man_n shall_v boast_n himself_o for_o we_o be_v the_o workmanship_n of_o god_n create_v in_o christ_n jesus_n into_o

paul_n for_o these_o testimony_n be_v more_o clear_a than_o the_o noon_n day_n and_o do_v most_o evident_o testify_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o any_o work_n but_o reverend_a brethren_n in_o the_o work_n lord_n good_a work_n here_o come_v into_o no_o jeopardy_n to_o be_v little_o set_v by_o because_o of_o this_o doctrine_n which_o teach_v that_o faith_n alone_o do_v justify_v thus_o do_v the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n teach_v why_o then_o shall_v not_o we_o teach_v so_o too_o as_o for_o they_o that_o think_v this_o doctrine_n whereby_o we_o do_v constant_o affirm_v that_o faith_n alone_o without_o work_n do_v justify_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o religion_n let_v they_o blame_v the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n &_o not_o find_v fault_n with_o we_o moreover_o whereas_o justify_v we_o say_v that_o the_o faithful_a be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o or_o else_o by_o faith_n without_o work_n we_o do_v not_o say_v as_o many_o think_v we_o do_v that_o faith_n be_v post_o alone_o or_o utter_o destitute_a of_o good_a work_n for_o where_o soever_o faith_n be_v there_o also_o it_o show_v itself_o by_o good_a work_n because_o the_o righteous_a can_v not_o but_o work_v righteousness_n but_o before_o he_o do_v work_v righteousness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v good_a work_n he_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v righteous_a therefore_o the_o righteous_a do_v not_o attain_v to_o righteousness_n that_o go_v before_o by_o work_n that_o follow_v after_o wherefore_o that_o righteousness_n be_v attribute_v to_o grace_n for_o the_o faithful_a be_v free_o by_o grace_n

and_o tread_v under_o foot_n when_o we_o join_v our_o merit_n and_o work_n to_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o take_v hold_v on_o christ_n for_o what_o can_v be_v more_o manifest_a than_o this_o say_n of_o the_o bless_a apostle_n if_o we_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n than_o not_o now_o work_v for_o than_o grace_n be_v no_o more_o grace_n but_o if_o we_o be_v

therefore_o lest_o we_o shall_v overthrow_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o wicked_o deny_v the_o fruit_n of_o christ_n his_o passion_n we_o do_v attribute_v justification_n unto_o faith_n only_o

but_o yet_o because_o the_o flesh_n do_v strive_v with_o the_o spirit_n so_o long_o as_o life_n remain_v on_o the_o earth_n therefore_o the_o godly_a have_v need_n with_o faith_n and_o the_o holy_a

have_v hitherto_o justify_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n touch_v the_o true_a original_a cause_n of_o 1_o good_a work_n we_o may_v easy_o understand_v how_o and_o after_o what_o manner_n the_o scripture_n do_v attribute_v righteousness_n unto_o our_o merit_n for_o i_o have_v in_o another_o place_n sufficient_o declare_v and_o will_v again_o say_v somewhat_o when_o i_o come_v to_o the_o treatise_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o faith_n not_o work_v do_v justify_v we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o especial_a point_n and_o chief_a foundation_n of_o the_o

of_o faith_n or_o grace_n now_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n or_o the_o flesh_n do_v not_o justify_v but_o condemn_v we_o because_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n but_o the_o

former_a sermon_n by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n say_v he_o shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v but_o if_o we_o beat_v out_o and_o examine_v 3_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o faith_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o both_o be_v and_o have_v be_v do_v by_o faithful_a and_o just_a man_n whereupon_o it_o be_v manifest_v that_o justification_n do_v always_o go_v before_o the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n for_o the_o just_a man_n do_v work_v righteousness_n so_o the_o righteousness_n be_v the_o fruit_n that_o the_o just_o do_v bring_v forth_o man_n very_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o

believe_v be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_v of_o grace_n and_o of_o faith_n he_o live_v 430_o year_n before_o the_o law_n he_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o by_o true_a faith_n do_v most_o excellent_a work_n and_o yet_o by_o those_o his_o work_v of_o faith_n he_o be_v not_o justify_v for_o paul_n do_v plain_o argue_v thus_o if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n than_o have_v he_o wherein_o to_o boast_v but_o not_o before_o god_n for_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v count_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n to_o he_o that_o work_v be_v

conclusion_n not_o upon_o our_o own_o mind_n but_o upon_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n who_o say_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o write_v for_o he_o only_o that_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o

six_o sermon_n of_o the_o first_o decade_n i_o very_o be_o persuade_v that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o evangelist_n ought_v to_o be_v lay_v up_o in_o the_o bottom_n of_o every_o faithful_a heart_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n not_o by_o merit_n through_o faith_n &_o not_o through_o work_n but_o while_o we_o urge_v and_o repeat_v 〈…〉_o this_o

will_v not_o have_v the_o power_n to_o justify_v or_o to_o merit_v life_n everlasting_a to_o be_v simple_o attribute_v unto_o they_o for_o by_o that_o mean_v christ_n shall_v wax_v vile_a and_o

answer_v this_o objection_n that_o he_o refer_v our_o work_n unto_o the_o grace_n of_o god._n for_o in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr gratia_fw-la et_fw-la libero_fw-la arbitrio_fw-la the_o eight_o chapter_n he_o write_v if_o eternal_a life_n be_v of_o duty_n give_v to_o good_a work_n as_o the_o scripture_n do_v most_o plain_o testify_v say_v because_o god_n will_v reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n then_o how_o be_v eternal_a life_n of_o grace_n consider_v that_o grace_n be_v not_o give_v as_o due_a to_o work_n but_o free_o and_o without_o desert_n as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v say_v to_o he_o that_o work_v the_o reward_n be_v not_o reckon_v of_o grace_n but_o of_o duty_n and_o again_o the_o remnant_n say_v he_o be_v save_v by_o the_o election_n of_o grace_n and_o

by_o work_n a_o gift_n or_o else_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o everlasting_a life_n be_v a_o gift_n yes_o very_o he_o say_v it_o so_o plain_o that_o we_o can_v deny_v it_o neither_o be_v his_o word_n so_o obscure_a that_o they_o require_v a_o sharp_a understander_n but_o a_o attentive_a hearer_n for_o when_o he_o have_v say_v the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n he_o add_v straightways_o but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v life_n everlasting_a in_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n i_o think_v therefore_o that_o this_o question_n can_v be_v none_o otherwise_o resolve_v unless_o we_o understand_v that_o even_o our_o good_a work_n to_o which_o eternal_a life_n be_v give_v must_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o grace_n and_o gift_n of_o god_n because_o the_o lord_n jesus_n say_v without_o i_o you_o can_v do_v nothing_o and_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o have_v say_v you_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n through_o faith_n do_v present_o add_v and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v thus_o much_o hitherto_o out_o of_o saint_n augustine_n now_o although_o this_o answer_n of_o saint_n augustine_n

under_o the_o name_n and_o colour_n of_o very_a sound_n argument_n and_o first_o of_o all_o there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o foolish_a if_o he_o have_v read_v the_o doctrine_n of_o saint_n paul_n but_o

this_o grace_n do_v not_o justify_v but_o do_v engender_v the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n in_o they_o that_o be_v justify_v therefore_o we_o confess_v and_o grant_v that_o good_a work_v belong_v

that_o this_o salvation_n be_v common_a both_o to_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n say_v be_v he_o the_o god_n of_o the_o jew_n only_o be_v he_o not_o also_o of_o the_o gentile_n yes_o even_o also_o of_o

or_o rather_o of_o justification_n by_o work_n be_v wont_a to_o object_n if_o faith_n alone_o in_o christ_n do_v justify_v then_o be_v the_o law_n or_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n altogether_o unprofitable_a for_o to_o what_o end_n be_v we_o command_v to_o do_v good_a work_v if_o good_a work_n do_v not_o justify_v the_o apostle_n answer_v that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o abolish_v by_o faith_n

be_v not_o destroy_v or_o darken_v but_o confirm_v and_o make_v light_n by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n the_o apostle_n go_v on_o in_o his_o confirmation_n and_o say_v what_o shall_v we_o iustiâ—â—â—d_v say_v then_o that_o abraham_n our_o father_n as_o pertain_v to_o the_o flesh_n do_v find_v for_o if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_v then_o have_v he_o wherein_o to_o boast_v but_o not_o before_o god_n for_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v count_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n there_o be_v very_o many_o example_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n but_o among_o all_o the_o rest_n the_o apostle_n choose_v out_o this_o of_o abraham_n to_o handle_v it_o at_o large_a for_o he_o in_o the_o scripture_n be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o they_o that_o do_v believe_v whereupon_o it_o be_v assure_o certain_a that_o the_o child_n shall_v be_v justify_v after_o the_o same_o sort_n that_o their_o father_n be_v as_o the_o apostle_n have_v in_o express_a word_n teach_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o four_o chapter_n moreover_o abraham_n be_v famous_a for_o good_a work_n above_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n therefore_o if_o any_o other_o can_v have_v be_v justify_v by_o his_o good_a work_v or_o merit_v much_o more_o might_n abraham_n before_o all_o the_o rest_n but_o forbecause_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o

live_v 430_o year_n before_o the_o law_n be_v reveal_v by_o moses_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o his_o work_v not_o be_v call_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n by_o they_o that_o be_v the_o denier_n of_o the_o justification_n by_o faith_n without_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o work_n that_o he_o do_v he_o do_v they_o of_o faith_n and_o his_o work_v be_v the_o work_n of_o faith_n and_o yet_o be_v he_o not_o justify_v by_o they_o but_o by_o faith_n therefore_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o justification_n of_o faith_n remain_v sound_o unspotted_a and_o unmingled_a with_o any_o thing_n else_o what_o

justify_v they_o that_o be_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o end_n that_o his_o grace_n may_v be_v always_o praise_v but_o paul_n himself_o by_o bring_v in_o a_o place_n of_o

who_o soever_o do_v with_o his_o work_v deserve_v any_o thing_n to_o he_o the_o reward_n be_v give_v as_o a_o thing_n of_o duty_n due_a unto_o he_o and_o not_o impute_v free_o as_o though_o it_o be_v no_o debt_n but_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o abraham_n unto_o righteousness_n therefore_o he_o receive_v righteousness_n not_o as_o a_o reward_n of_o duty_n ought_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o a_o gift_n
