〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d good_a work_n but_o that_o whereby_o he_o love_v we_o §_o v._o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o word_n which_o follow_v which_o as_o cornelius_n à_fw-fr follow_v lapide_fw-la

be_v both_o manifest_v and_o assure_v unto_o we_o it_o be_v manifest_v by_o this_o verse_n 6._o that_n when_o we_o be_v of_o no_o strength_n yea_o dead_a in_o our_o sin_n the_o son_n of_o god_n die_v for_o we_o for_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n eph._n 2._o 4_o 5._o god_n who_o be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n for_o his_o great_a love_n wherewith_o he_o love_v we_o even_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a in_o our_o sin_n have_v quicken_v we_o together_o with_o christ_n by_o who_o grace_n we_o be_v save_v which_o wonderful_o set_v forth_o the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o for_o scarce_o as_o it_o be_v vers_n 7._o for_o a_o righteous_a man_n will_v one_o die_v and_o great_a love_n no_o man_n have_v than_o this_o that_o a_o man_n lie_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o friend_n joh._n 15._o 13._o but_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n vers_fw-la 8._o commend_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o even_o that_o love_n mention_v verse_n 5._o in_o that_o while_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n and_o by_o our_o sin_n his_o enemy_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o it_o be_v assure_v by_o a_o argument_n from_o the_o 10._o less_o to_o the_o great_a for_o if_o when_o we_o be_v sinner_n we_o be_v redeem_v and_o justify_v by_o the_o

his_o son_n much_o more_o be_v reconcile_v we_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o his_o life_n i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o notwithstanding_o the_o testimony_n of_o augustine_n which_o as_o himself_o 1._o

for_o say_v he_o the_o same_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o same_o spirit_n give_v unto_o we_o say_v you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n of_o son_n by_o which_o we_o cry_v abba_n father_n now_o say_v he_o we_o cry_v abba_n father_n by_o that_o charity_n whereby_o we_o love_v god_n not_o by_o that_o whereby_o he_o love_v we_o which_o reason_n if_o it_o be_v reduce_v into_o a_o syllogism_n will_v not_o conclude_v his_o assertion_n but_o the_o erroneous_a opinion_n of_o lombard_n 17._o the_o master_n of_o sentence_n which_o bellarmine_n 8._o himself_o elsewhere_o confute_v namely_o that_o the_o charity_n whereby_o we_o love_v god_n be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o whereby_o we_o cry_v in_o our_o heart_n abba_n father_n be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o that_o charity_n wherewith_o we_o love_v god_n we_o cry_v in_o our_o heart_n abba_n father_n therefore_o that_o charity_n wherewith_o we_o love_v god_n be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n this_o conclusion_n bellarmine_n know_v to_o be_v false_a therefore_o either_o the_o proposition_n be_v false_a or_o the_o assumption_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o false_a conclusion_n shall_v be_v infer_v from_o true_a

neither_o be_v charity_n that_o fruit_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n whereby_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n cause_v we_o to_o cry_v abba_n father_n but_o faith_n for_o although_o by_o charity_n we_o may_v be_v declare_v or_o know_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n yet_o we_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n not_o by_o charity_n but_o by_o faith_n joh._n 1._o 12._o gal._n 3._o 26._o and_o consequent_o not_o by_o charity_n but_o by_o faith_n wrought_v in_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n testify_v with_o our_o spirit_n that_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o say_a spirit_n make_v we_o to_o cry_v in_o our_o heart_n abba_n father_n §_o vii_o his_o second_o proof_n be_v out_o of_o rom._n 8._o 10._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o 10._o by_o justify_v grace_n we_o

neither_o be_v it_o say_v that_o we_o live_v by_o it_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o by_o justify_v faith_n we_o live_v but_o that_o the_o spirit_n be_v life_n propter_fw-la justificationem_fw-la for_o or_o by_o reason_n of_o righteousness_n and_o further_o it_o be_v well_o say_v that_o our_o spirit_n live_v the_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a life_n by_o the_o gracious_a favour_n of_o god_n

in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o father_n §_o i._o have_v show_v how_o the_o word_n grace_n be_v use_v in_o the_o pelagian_n scripture_n something_o be_v to_o be_v add_v concern_v the_o use_n thereof_o

two_o principal_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n grace_n the_o one_o proper_a signify_v the_o gracious_a favour_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n by_o which_o they_o acknowledge_v we_o to_o be_v elect_v

he_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sound_a proof_n and_o therefore_o be_v fain_o to_o illustrate_v it_o by_o certain_a similitude_n which_o he_o call_v example_n answ._n whether_o we_o have_v any_o sound_a

as_o for_o similitude_n they_o be_v not_o bring_v to_o prove_v the_o point_n but_o to_o illustrate_v and_o to_o make_v it_o more_o plain_a as_o if_o i_o shall_v compare_v a_o regenerate_a soul_n to_o fire_n as_o christ_n do_v john_n baptist_n similitude_n to_o a_o burn_a and_o shine_a lamp_n i_o may_v say_v which_o be_v luther_n rom._n similitude_n as_o in_o fire_n or_o rather_o if_o you_o

in_o the_o regenerate_a soul_n there_o be_v faith_n as_o the_o light_n and_o charity_n as_o the_o heat_n and_o neither_o be_v without_o other_o because_o the_o spirit_n of_o regeneration_n as_o it_o

in_o christ_n inflame_v our_o heart_n with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n the_o beam_n of_o god_n love_v reflect_v from_o our_o soul_n some_o warmth_n of_o love_n towards_o god_n to_o this_o bellarmin●…_n answer_v that_o charity_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v compare_v to_o fire_n etc._n etc._n answ._n so_o it_o may_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o heat_n as_o faith_n also_o may_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o
