unless_o they_o be_v see_v by_o man_n in_o those_o that_o make_v a_o profession_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v very_o evident_a that_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o they_o profess_v be_v in_o reality_n no_o

the_o eye_n of_o man_n out_o of_o which_o as_o out_o of_o a_o live_a root_n the_o blossom_n and_o flower_n of_o godly_a work_n do_v not_o grow_v but_o do_v not_o faith_n therefore_o justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n without_o work_n because_o it_o be_v not_o evidence_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o good_a deed_n join_v therewith_o but_o suppose_v that_o good_a work_n be_v join_v with_o

i_o ask_v wherefore_o do_v faith_n justify_v before_o god_n because_o of_o the_o work_n that_o appear_v unto_o man_n or_o be_v the_o work_v rather_o acceptable_a because_o of_o faith_n but_o how_o

different_a nature_n what_o man_n look_v upon_o the_o live_v of_o the_o pharisee_n their_o long_a prayer_n frequent_a fast_n and_o wash_n their_o holy-like_a deportment_n and_o all_o their_o outward_a

they_o what_o man_n be_v there_o at_o this_o day_n who_o look_v upon_o the_o order_n of_o the_o monk_n their_o vow_n fast_n rule_n austerity_n and_o rigour_n of_o discipline_n but_o will_v reckon_v
