can_v have_v answer_v and_o thorough_o satisfy_v the_o perfect_a law_n of_o god_n unto_o the_o uttermost_a title_n thereof_o it_o can_v not_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o paul_n will_v never_o have_v

speak_v there_o which_o be_v most_o true_a 2._o glory_n honour_n and_o peace_n be_v unto_o every_o one_o that_o work_v righteousness_n to_o the_o jew_n aswell_o as_o to_o the_o gentile_n etc._n etc._n but_o now_o when_o as_o he_o foresee_v that_o the_o jew_n do_v swell_v with_o a_o certain_a pharisaical_a opinion_n of_o their_o work_n and_o proud_o vaunt_v themselves_o upon_o they_o disdayneful_o dete_v all_o other_o as_o heathenish_a ungodly_a in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o neither_o seém_v to_o stand_v in_o any_o ne_v of_o the_o mediator_n therefore_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v shake_v away_o from_o they_o that_o pestilent_a persuasion_n of_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o force_v they_o to_o seek_v succour_n at_o christ_n hereupon_o he_o do_v utter_o despoil_v all_o work_n of_o ability_n to_o justify_v that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o so_o take_v away_o all_o affiance_n of_o our_o work_n be_v of_o all_o part_n unperfect_a because_o he_o may_v ascribe_v it_o whole_o to_o

copulative_a which_o you_o do_v so_o intricate_o entangle_v and_o miserable_o choke_v up_o with_o obscure_a speech_n first_o of_o all_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n have_v a_o double_a understanding_n law_n for_o after_o one_o sort_n christ_n do_v observe_v the_o law_n of_o his_o father_n but_o mortal_a man_n observe_v it_o after_o a_o other_o sort_n christ_n most_o perfect_o and_o absolute_o but_o we_o weak_o and_o raw_o yea_o i_o know_v not_o if_o we_o perform_v any_o portion_n thereof_o very_o mean_o whereupon_o arise_v a_o double_a

moreover_o to_o the_o purchase_n of_o that_o first_o and_o sincere_a righteousness_n man_n must_v be_v furnish_v with_o two_o principal_a tallentes_n the_o one_o that_o he_o so_o accomplish_v the_o

that_o break_v the_o least_o of_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o they_o all_o 2._o now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o never_o any_o man_n be_v able_a to_o bring_v that_o thing_n to_o pass_v but_o christ_n only_o it_o be_v out_o of_o all_o controversy_n that_o all_o other_o mortal_a man_n as_o well_o jew_n as_o gentile_n be_v fast_o hold_v under_o the_o curse_n whereupon_o the_o apostle_n after_o long_o debate_v of_o the_o matter_n conclude_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n which_o sentence_n be_v not_o yet_o so_o to_o be_v take_v as_o though_o no_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n be_v sincere_o and_o perfect_o do_v accord_v to_o the_o prescript_n rule_v of_o law_n can_v profit_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o towards_o salvation_n for_o the_o very_a same_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n who_o life_n be_v of_o all_o part_n freé_v altogether_o from_o all_o blemish_n of_o sin_n can_v not_o be_v attaint_v with_o that_o say_n of_o paul_n that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n for_o that_o he_o be_v justify_v through_o his_o own_o work_n especial_o with_o as_o good_a right_n also_o may_v we_o maintain_v our_o like_a challenge_n therein_o if_o our_o infirmity_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v itself_o to_o that_o perfection_n of_o christ._n whereupon_o we_o hear_v the_o apostle_n very_o apt_o argue_v in_o this_o wise_a 3_o if_o that_o law_n say_v he_o have_v be_v deliver_v that_o can_v have_v give_v life_n than_o no_o doubt_n righteousness_n have_v come_v by_o the_o law_n gallat_n 3._o but_o wherefore_o be_v it_o say_v that_o the_o law_n can_v not_o geve_v life_n not_o not_o because_o the_o law_n want_v her_o efficacy_n to_o geve_v life_n but_o because_o we_o be_v destitute_a of_o sufficient_a power_n to_o accomplish_v the_o perfection_n of_o the_o law_n for_o otherwise_o what_o can_v be_v of_o more_o force_n to_o righteousness_n than_o the_o law_n or_o what_o more_o effectual_a to_o eternal_a life_n than_o righteousness_n if_o at_o the_o least_o the_o same_o be_v perfect_a or_o that_o our_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o that_o righteousness_n absolute_o but_o now_o be_v environ_v with_o so_o great_a weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o of_o all_o side_n beset_v with_o sin_n yea_o and_o sell_v under_o sin_n when_o all_o our_o endeavour_n be_v yet_o so_o unperfect_a that_o we_o neither_o perform_v the_o whole_a law_n neither_o comprehend_v any_o small_a portion_n thereof_o with_o dutiful_a and_o exact_a righteousness_n therefore_o that_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n may_v righte_o be_v apply_v unto_o we_o wherein_o he_o affirm_v that_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n paul_n for_o as_o to_o that_o which_o osorius_n with_o his_o crooked_a conveyaunce_n do_v wrest_v these_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n to_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v altogether_o fond_a frivolous_a and_o worthy_a to_o be_v scorn_v as_o be_v overthrow_v with_o many_o sound_n reason_n first_o beside_o that_o it_o do_v manifest_o appear_v by_o the_o whole_a discourse_n and_o phrase_n of_o that_o epistle_n itself_o that_o paul_n treat_v there_o of_o none_o other_o law_n than_o the_o moral_a law_n it_o be_v to_o be_v approve_v chief_o in_o these_o word_n where_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o only_o testify_v himself_o of_o what_o law_n he_o make_v mention_n in_o that_o place_n but_o also_o of_o what_o part_n of_o the_o law_n he_o do_v reason_n in_o this_o wise_a of_o the_o self_n same_o law_n for_o that_o which_o the_o law_n can_v not_o bring_v to_o pass_v even_o in_o that_o part_n wherein_o it_o be_v weak_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o part_n sure_o consist_v not_o in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o in_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o the_o ten_o table_n whereupon_o we_o do_v argue_v against_o osorius_n in_o this_o wise_a no_o man_n be_v bereave_v of_o righteousness_n

therefore_o that_o paul_n speak_v not_o there_o of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o table_n moreover_o whereas_o paul_n do_v discourse_n of_o that_o law_n which_o

serve_v the_o letter_n only_o but_o that_o most_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a part_n of_o the_o law_n also_o indifferent_o whereof_o he_o make_v his_o whole_a discourse_n in_o that_o epistle_n the_o which_o also_o he_o do_v note_n by_o name_n to_o be_v spiritual_a and_o say_v that_o it_o procure_v wrath_n which_o be_v common_a to_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n all_o alike_o even_o the_o same_o

that_o part_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o precept_n of_o manner_n we_o can_v never_o otherwise_o interpret_v the_o sense_n &_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n then_o by_o such_o

and_o innocence_n of_o life_n and_o yet_o that_o those_o deed_n of_o godliness_n do_v nothing_o avayle_v they_o to_o attain_v righteousness_n and_o so_o have_v conclude_v afterwards_o that_o they_o be_v not_o justify_v through_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n the_o matter_n will_v then_o have_v open_v itself_o that_o by_o the_o name_n of_o work_n he_o do_v mean_v the_o best_a action_n and_o

but_o this_o say_v he_o be_v not_o find_v in_o that_o whole_a discourse_n of_o paul_n nay_o rather_o he_o do_v condemn_v they_o as_o guilty_a of_o all_o wickedness_n and_o cruelty_n this_o groundwork_n be_v this_o lay_v it_o remain_v that_o we_o ram_n fast_o this_o build_n up_o with_o some_o good_a mortar_n which_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o conclusion_n be_v apply_v in_o this_o wise_a therefore_o paul_n do_v right_o conclude_v that_o where_o he_o affirm_v no_o man_n to_o be_v justify_v through_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n he_o mean_v that_o the_o ceremony_n shadow_n and_o

of_o in_o the_o premise_n yet_o either_o pardon_v or_o wynk_v at_o this_o escape_n let_v we_o examine_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o first_o proposition_n if_o paul_n quoth_v he_o have_v perceave_v the_o life_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o have_v be_v undefiled_a and_o all_o the_o endevoure_v and_o work_v of_o their_o life_n sincere_a and_o perfect_a and_o then_o have_v conclude_v that_o no_o man_n
