after_o what_o sort_n this_o faith_n contain_v holy_a work_n within_o her_o womb_n which_o be_v engender_v of_o the_o fruictefulnes_n of_o she_o now_o let_v we_o see_v the_o faith_n of_o luther_n whether_o it_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v forth_o any_o fruitless_a fruit_n that_o be_v quick_a no_o without_o doubt_n first_o of_o all_o because_o all_o work_n as_o he_o say_v seem_v they_o never_o

maintain_v the_o force_n and_o strength_n of_o inordinate_a lust_n be_v so_o great_a that_o he_o think_v it_o impossible_a to_o withstand_v it_o by_o any_o mean_n in_o the_o world_n see_v then_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n to_o endeavour_n himself_o to_o do_v any_o good_a work_n unless_o he_o do_v first_o destroy_v the_o kingdom_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o sin_n can_v

bestow_v his_o labour_n in_o any_o thing_n in_o vain_a and_o without_o fruit_n last_o of_o all_o because_o luther_n have_v determine_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o justice_n as_o need_v not_o the_o help_v of_o any_o do_v or_o work_n for_o if_o i_o persuade_v myself_o that_o the_o justice_n of_o christ_n be_v apply_v unto_o i_o by_o faith_n no_o less_o then_o if_o it_o be_v i_o own_o justice_n and_o

i_o be_v prick_v forewarde_n to_o do_v any_o good_a work_n forsomuche_o therefore_o as_o luther_n both_o despise_v holy_a work_n and_o cut_v of_o all_o hope_n of_o honesty_n and_o holiness_n and_o by_o this_o faith_n which_o he_o have_v devise_v take_v away_o all_o fear_n of_o punishment_n be_v it_o not_o evident_a that_o he_o be_v the_o overthrower_n of_o holy_a work_n the_o destroyer_n of_o
