please_v god_n but_o yet_o true_a glory_n we_o may_v lawful_o desire_v &_o seek_v for_o according_a to_o that_o mat._n 5.16_o let_v your_o light_n so_o shine_v before_o man_n that_o they_o may_v see_v your_o good_a work_v by_o these_o former_a condition_n all_o these_o work_v be_v exclude_v 1_o which_o be_v sin_n in_o themselves_o and_o repugnant_a unto_o god_n law_n and_o his_o will_n revel_v in_o the_o word_n 2_o which_o be_v not_o repugnant_a unto_o the_o law_n neither_o in_o themselves_o good_a or_o evil_n but_o which_o may_v yet_o by_o a_o accident_n be_v make_v good_a or_o evil_a work_v not_o repugnant_a unto_o the_o law_n be_v make_v evil_a or_o sin_n by_o a_o accident_n when_o as_o they_o be_v not_o command_v of_o god_n but_o impose_v by_o man_n be_v do_v with_o a_o opinion_n of_o worship_v god_n therein_o 3_o which_o be_v good_a in_o themselves_o and_o command_v by_o god_n but_o yet_o be_v make_v sin_n by_o a_o accident_n in_o that_o they_o be_v unlawful_o do_v as_o not_o arise_v from_o those_o lawful_a cause_n by_o which_o the_o doer_n of_o they_o shall_v be_v move_v to_o do_v they_o and_o which_o in_o do_v they_o they_o shall_v respect_v that_o be_v they_o be_v not_o do_v by_o faith_n neither_o to_o this_o end_n chief_o that_o god_n may_v therein_o be_v honour_v 2_o the_o work_v of_o the_o regenerate_a and_o unregenerate_a differ_v because_o the_o work_n of_o the_o unregenerate_a first_o proceed_v not_o of_o faith_n second_o be_v not_o join_v with_o a_o inward_a obedience_n and_o therefore_o be_v do_v dissemble_o and_o be_v mere_a hypocrisy_n three_o as_o they_o proceed_v not_o of_o the_o right_a cause_n so_o be_v they_o not_o refer_v to_o the_o chief_a end_n which_o be_v god_n glory_n 3_o this_o difference_n which_o appear_v in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o godly_a &_o the_o wicked_a confirm_v also_o that_o the_o very_a moral_a work_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v sin_n though_o yet_o not_o such_o sin_n as_o those_o be_v which_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v repugnant_a unto_o god_n law_n for_o these_o be_v sin_n by_o themselves_o and_o in_o their_o own_o kind_n but_o those_o either_o be_v sin_n only_o by_o a_o accident_n namely_o by_o reason_n of_o defect_n because_o neither_o they_o come_v of_o faith_n neither_o be_v do_v for_o god_n glory_n wherefore_o this_o consequence_n be_v not_o of_o force_n all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o of_o paynim_n be_v sin_n therefore_o they_o be_v all_o to_o be_v eschew_v for_o the_o defect_n only_o be_v to_o be_v eschew_v not_o the_o work_n 2_o how_o good_a work_n may_v be_v do_v good_a work_n may_v be_v do_v through_o the_o grace_n or_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n only_o and_o that_o by_o the_o regenerate_a only_o who_o heart_n be_v regenerate_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o their_o first_o conversion_n and_o regeneration_n but_o also_o by_o the_o perpetual_a and_o continual_a government_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o both_o work_v in_o they_o a_o acknoweledgement_n of_o sin_n faith_n &_o new_a obedience_n and_o also_o do_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o increase_n and_o confirm_v the_o same_o gift_n in_o they_o unto_o this_o doctrine_n saint_n jerome_n also_o consent_v let_v he_o be_v accurse_v say_v he_o who_o affirm_v the_o law_n to_o be_v possible_a without_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n wherefore_o out_o of_o this_o doctrine_n we_o learn_v that_o man_n not_o as_o yet_o regenerate_v be_v able_a to_o do_v no_o good_a and_o that_o even_o the_o holy_a man_n sin_n also_o except_o the_o benefit_n and_o blessing_n of_o regeneration_n be_v continue_v this_o we_o may_v see_v in_o peter_n and_o david_n without_o regeneration_n no_o one_o part_n of_o a_o good_a work_n can_v be_v so_o much_o as_o begin_v because_o all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o the_o cloth_n of_o a_o menstruous_a woman_n in_o which_o say_v also_o the_o prophet_n comprehend_v himself_o and_o even_o the_o holy_a among_o man_n if_o in_o the_o saint_n themselves_o nought_o else_o be_v find_v before_o god_n what_o then_o in_o the_o unregenerate_a what_o these_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v we_o see_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n in_o the_o two_o first_o chapter_n now_o as_o by_o ourselves_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o begin_v good_a work_n so_o neither_o be_v we_o ourselves_o able_a to_o accomplish_v any_o good_a work_n for_o it_o be_v god_n which_o work_v in_o you_o both_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n even_o of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n without_o impute_a righteousness_n we_o be_v all_o in_o the_o sight_n god_n abomination_n filth_n and_o dung_n but_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o impute_v unto_o we_o before_o our_o conversion_n therefore_o it_o be_v unpossible_a before_o our_o conversion_n that_o either_o ourselves_o or_o our_o work_n shall_v please_v god_n faith_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o good_a work_v faith_n come_v from_o god_n therefore_o the_o effect_n also_o shall_v come_v from_o god_n neither_o shall_v it_o go_v before_o the_o cause_n &_o therefore_o good_a work_n can_v be_v before_o conversion_n 3_o whether_o the_o work_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v perfect_o good_a the_o work_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v not_o perfect_o good_a or_o pure_a 1._o because_o the_o saint_n which_o do_v good_a work_n do_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v sin_n in_o themselves_o for_o which_o they_o deserve_v to_o be_v cast_v out_o into_o everlasting_a pain_n curse_a be_v he_o that_o abide_v not_o in_o al._n 27.26_o deut._n 27.26_o yea_o the_o holy_a man_n do_v many_o evil_a work_n commit_v many_o sin_n and_o act_n which_o be_v evil_a in_o themselves_o such_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o peter_n thrice_o deny_v christ_n and_o of_o david_n murder_v urias_n commit_v adultery_n willing_a to_o cover_v it_o and_o number_v the_o people_n 2._o because_o there_o be_v not_o that_o degree_n of_o goodness_n in_o those_o good_a work_v that_o proceed_v from_o the_o saint_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v for_o their_o good_a work_n be_v not_o so_o pure_a and_o good_a as_o god_n require_v yea_o when_o the_o saint_n perform_v most_o holy_a work_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o perfect_a but_o have_v always_o in_o this_o life_n defect_n and_o be_v stain_v with_o sin_n for_o faith_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n whence_o good_a work_v flow_v be_v imperfect_a in_o we_o in_o this_o life_n the_o effect_n than_o shall_v not_o be_v perfect_a because_o the_o cause_n be_v not_o perfect_a for_o we_o do_v not_o perfect_o know_v and_o love_n
