four_o certain_a point_n and_o that_o more_o to_o reveal_v the_o slender_a edification_n that_o their_o reader_n may_v hope_v for_o of_o such_o lesson_n than_o to_o encumber_v ourselves_o with_o the_o

well_o enough_o at_o this_o day_n that_o every_o one_o have_v get_v a_o good_a lump_n of_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o corruption_n of_o adam_n and_o the_o original_a sin_n as_o they_o call_v it_o and_o your_o write_n show_v that_o you_o have_v have_v your_o part_n thereof_o and_o i_o believe_v as_o you_o say_v that_o man_n now_o a_o day_n have_v not_o any_o free_a will_n see_v it_o may_v be_v further_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o that_o have_v slender_a sense_n and_o well_o worse_a understanding_n as_o be_v altogether_o rule_v and_o carry_v over_o by_o their_o

question_n you_o use_v therein_o search_v curious_o the_o house_n wherein_o christ_n dwell_v item_n what_o make_v we_o of_o ascension_n or_o the_o signification_n of_o this_o word_n heaven_n or_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n so_o that_o you_o will_v teach_v we_o the_o true_a mean_a to_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n into_o ourselves_o see_v it_o please_v he_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o

take_v as_o of_o a_o hand_n the_o benefit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o obtain_v justification_n regeneration_n and_o health_n the_o which_o indeed_o be_v true_a but_o immediate_o after_o you_o say_v that_o by_o the_o sacrament_n be_v impute_v and_o apply_v to_o we_o the_o justice_n and_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n b._n 4._o item_n in_o the_o same_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n you_o say_v it_o be_v a_o most_o hard_a question_n to_o know_v what_o be_v that_o true_a justice_n which_o make_v we_o just_a and_o agreeable_a to_o god_n with_o atteinment_n of_o eternal_a life_n but_o i_o

by_o what_o mean_v she_o be_v give_v to_o we_o b._n 5._o in_o the_o tractate_n of_o good_a work_n you_o say_v that_o the_o work_n which_o man_n ought_v to_o call_v good_a be_v those_o which_o god_n

it_o well_o and_o conclude_v upon_o your_o say_n that_o who_o have_v not_o zeal_n love_n charity_n who_o suffer_v not_o all_o thing_n with_o patience_n take_v every_o thing_n in_o the_o best_a part_n cover_v the_o fault_n of_o his_o neighbour_n and_o labour_v not_o to_o put_v peace_n in_o place_n of_o dissension_n can_v not_o have_v regeneration_n and_o touch_v the_o rest_n of_o your_o question_n whether_o good_a work_n concur_v in_o justification_n as_o a_o cause_n formal_a or_o efficient_a the_o simple_a people_n have_v not_o to_o do_v content_v themselves_o with_o this_o belief_n that_o regeneration_n and_o faith_n without_o good_a work_n be_v a_o mere_a hypocrisy_n &_o thing_n dead_a and_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o our_o new_a obedience_n serve_v as_o witness_v of_o our_o reconciliation_n and_o justification_n now_o dear_a brethren_n as_o i_o be_o void_a of_o intent_n herein_o either_o to_o examine_v or_o exaggerate_v the_o newness_n of_o your_o confession_n and_o much_o less_o to_o confute_v it_o by_o argument_n so_o i_o will_v leave_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o reader_n your_o excuse_n in_o cut_v off_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o live_a god_n under_o pretext_n of_o certain_a gloss_n and_o distinction_n unworthy_a to_o be_v utter_v for_o here_o we_o do_v not_o dispute_v whether_o the_o commandment_n not_o to_o make_v any_o image_n of_o

that_o it_o contain_v but_o ten_o commandment_n the_o which_o if_o god_n will_v have_v abridge_v he_o know_v better_o how_o to_o do_v it_o than_o we_o and_o therefore_o such_o as_o undertake_v to_o
