as_o you_o do_v yourself_o you_o use_v a_o similitude_n of_o the_o son_n and_o fire_n which_o manner_n of_o teach_v christ_n use_v much_o by_o thing_n corporal_a and_o visible_a to_o make_v some_o explication_n of_o thing_n invisible_a and_o incorporal_a and_o so_o to_o induce_v man_n to_o the_o understanding_n of_o they_o which_o for_o my_o part_n i_o much_o allow_v and_o only_o find_v this_o fault_n in_o some_o of_o your_o sort_n that_o albeit_o in_o you_o teaching_n similitude_n be_v necessary_a to_o plain_a teaching_n they_o allow_v and_o approve_v similitude_n for_o corroboration_n of_o your_o doctrine_n yet_o when_o your_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v impugn_a they_o can_v not_o abide_v similitude_n but_o they_o say_v straight_o as_o they_o here_o of_o they_o fie_o on_o they_o blind_a not_o i_o say_v he_o by_o similitude_n but_o come_v to_o the_o plain_a matter_n and_o yet_o sometime_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o dark_a as_o it_o can_v not_o be_v perceive_v without_o the_o spectacle_n of_o a_o similitude_n or_o parable_n and_o anon_o the_o similitude_n well_o consider_v the_o matter_n that_o be_v dark_a be_v see_v by_o and_o by_o for_o a_o similitude_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o speech_n of_o the_o word_n &_o thing_n together_o for_o both_o the_o thing_n resemble_v and_o the_o word_n also_o speak_v at_o one_o but_o now_o to_o your_o similitude_n whereby_o you_o intend_v to_o make_v man_n perceyve_v how_o it_o may_v be_v that_o two_o thing_n conjoin_v together_o may_v have_v dyverse_a effect_n and_o so_o each_o one_o of_o they_o to_o work_v his_o effect_n apart_o without_o confusion_n for_o so_o you_o say_v do_v faith_n and_o charity_n the_o son_n and_o fire_n you_o say_v have_v each_o one_o of_o they_o heat_n &_o brightness_n and_o the_o heat_n warmethe_fw-mi and_o the_o brightness_n shine_v so_o as_o by_o this_o similitude_n we_o may_v understande_v that_o from_o god_n who_o you_o signify_v by_o the_o son_n or_o fire_n be_v give_v to_o man_n before_o he_o be_v justify_v two_o virtue_n faith_n and_o charity_n whereof_o faith_n shine_v and_o charity_n warm_v and_o in_o deed_n the_o effect_n of_o faith_n be_v proper_o to_o illuminate_v the_o understanding_n and_o of_o charity_n to_o warm_v and_o kindle_v man_n cold_a and_o earthly_a affection_n now_o if_o the_o justification_n of_o man_n imply_v only_o the_o expulsion_n of_o darkness_n from_o man_n understanding_n theffecte_n of_o faith_n will_v suffice_v but_o seinge_v god_n in_o justification_n move_v man_n hart_n and_o kindle_v love_n in_o it_o why_o may_v not_o these_o two_o virtue_n with_o their_o two_o effect_n by_o god_n work_n concur_v in_o man_n justification_n your_o similitude_n let_v it_o not_o but_o rather_o confirm_v it_o as_o for_o saint_n paul_n declare_v plain_o that_o albeit_o he_o speak_v sometime_o of_o faith_n without_o mention_v of_o charite_n yet_o he_o mean_v not_o faith_n as_o a_o bare_a foundation_n but_o faith_n with_o charity_n and_o as_o every_o foundacyon_n corporal_a be_v first_o in_o priority_n of_o tyme._n so_o be_v every_o foundation_n intellectual_a first_o in_o priority_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o because_o noman_n love_v that_o he_o know_v not_o before_o faith_n that_o bring_v knowledge_n must_v needs_o pcede_v and_o faith_n that_o have_v not_o charity_n be_v dead_a so_o as_o by_o these_o ii_o virtue_n god_n resuscitate_v man_n in_o justification_n from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o life_n justificatiâ—_n justificatiâ—_n gyvethe_v the_o gift_n of_o knowledge_n and_o love_n that_o be_v to_o say_v faith_n and_o charytye_n be_v god_n only_o the_o officer_n himself_o that_o justifi_v and_o to_o he_o you_o may_v put_v only_o and_o only_o for_o he_o be_v the_o justifier_n and_o require_v only_o of_o man_n marry_o that_o he_o will_v have_v do_v to_o receyve_v and_o use_v these_o virtue_n as_o he_o give_v they_o and_o this_o be_v the_o plain_a teach_n and_o agreeable_a with_o scripture_n which_o must_v be_v so_o understand_v as_o one_o part_n may_v be_v consonante_n to_o the_o other_o without_o such_o hack_n as_o you_o make_v of_o it_o god_n give_v abraham_n faith_n wherewith_o to_o believe_v he_o and_o charity_n wherewith_o to_o love_v he_o and_o abraham_n as_o he_o beleve_v god_n so_o he_o love_v he_o both_o together_o and_o if_o i_o shall_v return_v to_o your_o similitude_n when_o man_n say_v that_o they_o shall_v plant_v their_o vine_n where_o the_o son_n may_v shine_v on_o they_o do_v they_o affirm_v that_o the_o brightness_n and_o light_n of_o the_o son_n give_v the_o comfort_n to_o the_o vine_n or_o rather_o the_o heat_n the_o speech_n be_v of_o the_o brightness_n as_o a_o part_n may_v signify_v the_o hole_n but_o in_o the_o heat_n be_v theffect_n you_o dalye_v in_o the_o matter_n to_o triumph_n over_o i_o &_o take_v upon_o you_o the_o part_n of_o a_o mediator_n between_o the_o two_o sister_n faith_n and_o charity_n and_o you_o commend_v charity_n for_o many_o good_a property_n forsooth_o but_o you_o say_v the_o elder_a sister_n faith_n have_v the_o justification_n by_o scripture_n be_v not_o this_o proper_o handle_v in_o so_o serious_a a_o matter_n but_o you_o require_v scripture_n of_o i_o while_o you_o daily_o &_o talk_v yourself_o without_o scripture_n as_o for_o scripture_n this_o i_o say_v to_o you_o that_o and_o you_o note_v scripture_n you_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o it_o that_o as_o the_o promysse_o of_o god_n be_v knit_v to_o faith_n so_o it_o be_v knit_v to_o love_n as_o life_n be_v promise_v to_o man_n beleve_v so_o it_o be_v promise_v to_o man_n love_a and_o as_o often_o as_o saint_n paul_n name_v faith_n not_o speak_v of_o love_n so_o often_o and_o often_o do_v saint_n john_n in_o his_o epistle_n speak_v of_o charytye_n without_o mention_v of_o faith_n and_o declare_v plain_o that_o he_o that_o love_v not_o be_v in_o death_n and_o he_o that_o love_v not_o know_v not_o god_n and_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o hebrews_n he_o that_o come_v to_o god_n must_v believe_v so_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o gospel_n of_o saint_n john_n no_o man_n he_o say_v come_v to_o i_o without_o my_o father_n draw_v he_o the_o sense_n whereof_o be_v but_o by_o love_n wherewith_o saint_n austin_n say_v god_n draw_v we_o accord_v as_o god_n by_o moses_n signify_v to_o we_o that_o he_o show_v his_o mercy_n to_o they_o that_o love_v he_o it_o be_v true_a we_o can_v not_o love_v god_n unless_o he_o prepare_v our_o heart_n and_o geve_v we_o that_o grace_n no_o more_o can_v we_o believe_v god_n onlesse_a he_o give_v we_o the_o gift_n of_o belefe_v and_o so_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o our_o wealth_n and_o our_o helper_n that_o we_o may_v work_v with_o he_o and_o he_o be_v the_o only_a justifier_n justifier_n god_n the_o onâ—_n justifier_n the_o only_a saviour_n and_o only_a mediator_n and_o as_o for_o the_o speech_n of_o only_a faith_n justifi_v the_o scripture_n have_v not_o &_o yet_o have_v be_v speak_v by_o some_o learned_a man_n to_o exclude_v the_o work_n of_o moses_n law_n wherein_o s._n paul_n labour_v in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n where_o s._n paul_n speak_v not_o of_o the_o adverbe_n only_o nor_o he_o have_v not_o this_o fasshyon_n of_o speech_n faith_n justifi_v but_o in_o this_o wise_a we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o attribute_v the_o act_n of_o justification_n to_o god_n and_o s._n augustine_n say_v plain_o that_o for_o the_o more_o plain_a understand_v of_o s._n paul_n god_n inspire_v s._n james_n to_o write_v his_o epystle_n and_o further_a saint_n austen_n say_v that_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o faith_n do_v ever_o mean_a such_o a_o faith_n as_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o charite_n with_o it_o whereof_o he_o speak_v to_o the_o galathians_n neque_fw-la circumcisio_fw-la neque_fw-la prepucium_fw-la est_fw-la aliquid_fw-la sed_fw-la fides_fw-la que_fw-la per_fw-la dilectionem_fw-la operatur_fw-la and_o to_o the_o corrinthians_n he_o that_o have_v not_o charite_n be_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o as_o scripture_n testify_v that_o god_n make_v his_o promise_n to_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o so_o it_o testify_v that_o god_n make_v his_o promise_n to_o they_o that_o love_v he_o as_o saint_n james_n write_v and_o by_o the_o wise_a man_n god_n say_v i_o love_v they_o that_o love_v i_o saint_n john_n affirm_v he_o that_o love_v not_o god_n know_v not_o god_n so_o as_o without_o i_o love_v i_o can_v not_o fruteful_o believe_v no_o not_o the_o belefe_v of_o knowledge_n as_o faint_a john_n declare_v whereby_o appear_v that_o the_o young_a sister_n charite_v for_o so_o you_o speak_v of_o she_o have_v office_n to_o help_v her_o elder_a sister_n faith_n in_o justification_n but_o you_o now_o press_v i_o to_o show_v you_o scrypture_n in_o this_o form_n of_o syllable_n charity_n justifi_v and_o yet_o you_o
have_v no_o scripture_n so_o frame_v for_o faith_n as_o to_o say_v faith_n justifi_v nevertheless_o to_o answer_v you_o according_a to_o your_o folysshnes_n and_o to_o stop_v your_o mouth_n who_o begin_v to_o appose_v i_o as_o child_n be_v wont_v each_o one_o another_o in_o their_o primer_n to_o ask_v where_o they_o find_v two_o deus_fw-la &_o never_o a_o meus_fw-la â—lables_n a_o aunsâ—_n meet_v for_o 〈◊〉_d that_o will_v 〈◊〉_d stryve_v for_o â—lables_n thus_o much_o i_o say_v i_o find_v in_o saint_n paul_n deus_fw-la iustificat_fw-la and_o then_o i_o find_v in_o saint_n john_n deus_fw-la est_fw-la charitas_fw-la and_o so_o i_o find_v charitas_fw-la iustificat_fw-la for_o quicquid_fw-la predicatur_fw-la de_fw-la subiecto_fw-la predicatur_fw-la de_fw-la predicato_fw-la and_o so_o if_o deus_fw-la predicatur_fw-la de_fw-la iustificare_fw-la to_o say_v deus_fw-la iustificat_fw-la and_o then_o charitas_fw-la predicatur_fw-la de_fw-la deo_fw-la deus_fw-la est_fw-la charitas_fw-la the_o scripture_n that_o say_v deus_fw-la iustificat_fw-la say_v also_o charitas_fw-la iustificat_fw-la and_o thus_o i_o gyve_v you_o word_n for_o word_n who_o deserve_v none_o other_o for_o else_o i_o know_v that_o charitas_fw-la que_fw-fr de_fw-fr deo_fw-la predicatur_fw-la est_fw-la increata_fw-la and_o so_o differ_v a_o charitate_fw-la qua_fw-la iustificamur_fw-la thus_o for_o my_o recreation_n i_o answer_v you_o as_o you_o be_v worthy_a who_o from_o seriouse_a discussion_n of_o the_o true_a sense_n will_v bring_v the_o matter_n to_o syllable_n and_o yet_o in_o deed_n you_o have_v no_o such_o syllable_n for_o faith_n what_o so_o ever_o you_o say_v as_o you_o will_v have_v i_o find_v to_o serve_v for_o charity_n for_o scripture_n have_v neither_o fides_fw-la iustificat_fw-la nor_o charitas_fw-la iustificat_fw-la in_o syllable_n but_o the_o sense_n of_o both_o be_v contain_v in_o scripture_n as_o before_o be_v declare_v as_o for_o work_n of_o the_o law_n serve_v you_o only_o for_o matter_n to_o talk_v on_o as_o for_o frenes_n in_o justification_n i_o affirm_v all_o to_o be_v of_o gift_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o free_a than_o gift_n i_o speak_v of_o no_o glory_n but_o only_o of_o god_n glory_n in_o who_o we_o shall_v glory_n as_o saint_n paul_n teach_v us._n now_o where_o you_o say_v that_o if_o the_o effect_n of_o christes_fw-fr passion_n shall_v depend_v of_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o work_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v sure_a and_o certain_a of_o our_o justification_n for_o all_o our_o work_n be_v unperfite_a and_o foul_a thus_o i_o answer_v you_o that_o what_o sureness_n you_o will_v have_v i_o can_v not_o tell_v but_o of_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o god_n have_v thus_o ordain_v that_o baptysme_n be_v necessary_a to_o attain_v salvation_n and_o yet_o all_o child_n be_v not_o sure_a to_o be_v baptize_v and_o this_o do_v scripture_n tell_v i_o assure_o that_o a_o man_n must_v persevere_v in_o good_a do_v to_o the_o end_n or_o else_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v and_o that_o he_o that_o stand_v in_o virtue_n may_v fall_v and_o be_v cast_v out_o i_o be_o assure_v by_o saint_n paul_n admonition_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n bid_v the_o gentyle_n take_v heed_n that_o he_o fall_v not_o and_o saint_n austen_n say_v if_o we_o continue_v in_o goodness_n we_o may_v be_v assure_v of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v not_o fail_v but_o whether_o we_o shall_v continue_v no_o man_n know_v and_o therefore_o such_o assurance_n as_o you_o speak_v of_o without_o regard_n of_o the_o condition_n and_o observe_v of_o it_o also_o i_o have_v not_o red_a thus_o have_v i_o learn_v in_o scripture_n if_o we_o turn_v when_o god_n turn_v to_o we_o if_o we_o believe_v when_o god_n illuminate_v us._n if_o we_o love_v as_o god_n kyndle_v us._n if_o we_o be_v baptize_v as_o god_n command_v we_o we_o shall_v be_v justify_v salvation_n condition_n require_v in_o scripture_n of_o man_n for_o his_o salvation_n if_o we_o walk_v in_o justification_n as_o god_n by_o christ_n have_v teach_v we_o and_o therein_o persevere_v we_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o glorify_v and_o i_o know_v none_o other_o englyshe_a for_o so_o many_o if_z but_o to_o call_v they_o condition_n and_o work_v also_o to_o be_v do_v by_o we_o which_o work_v be_v unperfite_a in_o we_o that_o be_v ourself_o unperfite_a and_o as_o touchinge_a unperfitenes_n faith_n therein_o differ_v not_o from_o charite_n for_o they_o need_v both_o daily_o increase_v of_o perfection_n and_o therefore_o job_n say_v verebar_fw-la omne_fw-la opera_fw-la mea_fw-la which_o may_v comprehend_v faith_n also_o but_o all_o our_o imperfitnes_n be_v supply_v in_o christes_fw-fr perfitnes_n and_o so_o christ_n suppli_v we_o and_o we_o supply_v not_o christ_n we_o shall_v do_v all_o as_o christe_n do_v for_o he_o be_v our_o example_n to_o follow_v but_o we_o can_v not_o for_o we_o have_v the_o dregs_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o infirmity_n as_o punyshment_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o our_o father_n adam_n so_o as_o the_o power_n of_o our_o soul_n upon_o occasion_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o flessh_n and_o suggestion_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v ready_a to_o rebellion_n and_o herein_o aswell_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o properly_z receyve_v faith_n to_o diffidence_n and_o doubt_v against_o the_o certainty_n of_o godly_a faith_n as_o also_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o receyve_v charity_n to_o contempt_n or_o negligence_n towards_o the_o observation_n of_o god_n pleasure_n with_o some_o confusion_n in_o hope_n also_o as_o adversity_n encombre_n we_o or_o pleasure_n make_v we_o wanton_a for_o although_o the_o guilt_n of_o oryginall_a sin_n be_v take_v away_o in_o baptysme_n yet_o the_o scar_n of_o it_o &_o as_o it_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o it_o do_v remain_v which_o as_o it_o trouble_v and_o let_v man_n perfection_n in_o virtue_n and_o thereby_o be_v maynteyn_v a_o continual_a strife_n and_o debate_n so_o be_v it_o not_o to_o be_v account_v our_o sin_n till_o we_o conceyve_v it_o by_o enbrace_a &_o agre_v to_o such_o carnal_a motion_n and_o therefore_o saint_n
