liberality_n of_o god_n be_v not_o to_o have_v place_n in_o his_o last_o judgement_n as_o it_o shall_v have_v if_o calvin_n doctrine_n be_v true_a but_o also_o his_o justice●_n and_o therefore_o upon_o this_o it_o follow_v direct_o as_o the_o cardinal_n argue_v very_o well_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v calvin_n doctrine_n in_o this_o behalf_n do_v not_o believe_v the_o article_n of_o the_o

of_o our_o deed_n but_o not_o such_o a_o account_n as_o it_o seem_v here_o the_o cardinal_n will_v make_v who_o i_o think_v will_v not_o appear_v in_o the_o last_o judggement_n with_o this_o his_o

unto_o i_o i_o will_v have_v my_o deed_n examine_v for_o work_n have_v proceed_v from_o i_o which_o do_v not_o deserve_v reproach_n as_o be_v such_o as_o be_v without_o fault_n and_o have_v nothing_o

of_o christ._n but_o if_o this_o be_v so_o they_o will_v constantine_n say_v to_o the_o cardinal_n set_v up_o a_o ladder_n &_o climb_v up_o to_o heaven_n alone_o as_o he_o say_v once_o to_o acetius_n

the_o grace_n fayth_n and_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o will_v appear_v in_o judgement_n without_o these_o and_o there_o make_v ostentation_n of_o his_o work_n as_o be_v full_a pure_a and_o perfect_a without_o all_o kind_n of_o filth_n or_o vice_n thus_o far_o m._n andrew_n 50._o and_o do_v thou_o not_o good_a reader_n see_v how_o he_o descant_v here_o upon_o a_o false_a burden_n of_o his_o own_o amplify_a &_o exaggerate_v his_o own_o malicious_a conceit_n and_o misconstruction_n of_o the_o cardinal_n word_n as_o though_o the_o same_o be_v his_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n

indifferent_a man_n whether_o any_o such_o thing_n as_o here_o malicious_o he_o infer_v can_v be_v just_o gather_v on_o the_o cardinal_n word_n who_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o mean_v to_o confute_v caluin_n pernicious_a doctrine_n which_o draw_v man_n to_o a_o most_o dangerous_a presumption_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o neglect_v of_o his_o justice_n yea_o and_o to_o a_o careless_a contempt_n of_o all_o good_a work_n teach_v all_o to_o be_v sinful_a and_o damnable_a and_o no_o other_o mean_n of_o salvation_n but_o by_o only_a faith_n and_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n justice_n the_o cardinal_n i_o say_v impugn_v this_o as_o well_o by_o express_a scripture_n as_o by_o the_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n do_v urge_v the_o justice_n of_o our_o just_a judge_n as_o well_o in_o the_o reward_n of_o virtue_n and_o good_a work_n as_o in_o the_o punishment_n of_o vice_n &_o sin_n not_o exclude_v his_o mercy_n from_o his_o justice_n which_o can_v never_o be_v

merit_n which_o direct_o overthrow_v calvin_n doctrine_n of_o justification_n by_o only_a faith_n and_o of_o the_o impurity_n of_o good_a work_n 51._o and_o therefore_o for_o as_o much_o as_o m._n andrews_n know_v very_o well_o that_o he_o can_v not_o so_o easy_o delude_v his_o reader_n with_o the_o flourish_n of_o his_o false_a gloss_n if_o he_o shall_v lay_v down_o the_o doctrine_n and_o word_n of_o calvin_n which_o the_o cardinal_n allege_v and_o confute_v he_o resolve_v to_o leave_v they_o quite_o out_o with_o a_o great_a part_n also_o of_o the_o cardinal_n text_n concern_v the_o same_o perhaps_o he_o will_v have_v his_o reader_n to_o imagine_v that_o he_o lack_v place_n and_o paper_n but_o if_o you_o consider_v the_o length_n of_o his_o discourse_n which_o he_o continue_v for_o almost_o three_o whole_a page_n you_o will_v easy_o see_v that_o he_o want_v neither_o paper_n nor_o room_n in_o his_o margin_n to_o set_v down_o all_o the_o cardinal_n text_n if_o he_o have_v think_v it_o will_v have_v be_v for_o his_o purpose_n 52._o but_o true_o that_o which_o seem_v to_o i_o most_o strange_a in_o his_o extravagant_a discourse_n be_v how_o he_o can_v imagine_v that_o the_o cardinal_n take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v judge_n of_o his_o own_o action_n who_o argument_n tend_v to_o prove_v that_o god_n only_o be_v to_o examine_v and_o judge_n all_o man_n work_n and_o not_o that_o every_o man_n or_o yet_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o judge_n and_o determine_v of_o the_o quality_n of_o his_o own_o deed_n for_o so_o shall_v man_n be_v his_o own_o judge_n &_o the_o iugdement_n of_o god_n be_v no_o less_o superfluous_a &_o needle_n than_o it_o shall_v be_v if_o calvin_n doctrine_n which_o the_o cardinal_n impugn_v be_v true_a beside_o that_o the_o

and_o much_o less_o that_o he_o renounce_v the_o mercy_n grace_n faith_n and_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n as_o m._n andrews_n do_v calumniate_v and_o belie_v he_o for_o the_o cardinal_n

the_o cardinal_n who_o to_o show_v that_o the_o protestant_n in_o england_n do_v not_o entire_o hold_v the_o creed_n of_o athanasius_n tertium_fw-la propose_v the_o article_n concern_v the_o day_n

etc._n in_o which_o word_n of_o athanasius_n we_o confess_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o last_o judgement_n wherein_o the_o just_a judge_n will_v render_v to_o every_o one_o according_a to_o the_o quality_n of_o his_o deed_n to_o some_o the_o crown_n of_o justice_n and_o to_o other_o eternal_a punishment_n and_o shame_n for_o if_o life_n everlasting_a shall_v be_v give_v to_o the_o faithful_a not_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o work_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o christ_n righteousness_n merciful_o impute_v unto_o they_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o need_n of_o judgement_n nor_o of_o examination_n of_o deed_n neither_o be_v it_o needful_a that_o there_o shall_v come_v a_o just_a judge_n but_o a_o merciful_a father_n neither_o that_o we_o shall_v render_v any_o reason_n of_o our_o deed_n but_o show_v christ_n justice_n impute_v unto_o we_o and_o apprehend_v by_o faith_n therefore_o the_o king_n can_v believe_v this_o article_n if_o he_o believe_v with_o calvin_n and_o the_o protestant_n that_o all_o the_o work_n of_o just_a man_n be_v sin_n 14._o for_o these_o be_v caluin_n word_n no_o work_n can_v pass_v from_o holy_a man_n which_o do_v not_o deserve_v the_o

and_o deserve_v the_o just_a reward_n of_o reproach_n and_o if_o just_a man_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o give_v account_n of_o their_o deed_n true_o the_o unjust_a shall_v be_v much_o less_o able_a to_o do_v it_o to_o what_o purpose_n then_o shall_v we_o all_o stand_v before_o the_o tribunal_n of_o christ_n to_o render_v account_n of_o our_o own_o action_n but_o perhaps_o they_o will_v say_v that_o all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o just_o be_v unclean_a and_o filthy_a but_o their_o filth_n shall_v be_v cover_v by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o the_o work_v repute_v as_o clean_o to_o
