19_o be_v then_o very_a god_n and_o very_a man_n of_o two_o diverse_a nature_n the_o one_o divine_a and_o the_o other_o human_a which_o be_v conjoin_v and_o unite_v together_o inseparable_o without_o

against_o which_o no_o other_o thing_n can_v resist_v it_o be_v write_v that_o alexander_n have_v conceive_v a_o great_a hatred_n against_o the_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n 8._o be_v full_o resolve_v

that_o may_v enable_v we_o to_o appear_v and_o answer_v there_o it_o remain_v now_o that_o we_o declare_v upon_o what_o matter_n it_o work_v and_o where_o it_o rest_v &_o dwell_v how_o it_o may_v be_v

notwithstanding_o all_o this_o we_o be_v hold_v and_o repute_v for_o righteous_a before_o god_n and_o be_v allow_v and_o receive_v of_o he_o for_o his_o child_n and_o heir_n when_o we_o be_v provide_v of_o this_o righteousness_n and_o when_o we_o be_v clothe_v with_o it_o he_o give_v we_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o lead_v we_o and_o conduct_v we_o as_o a_o schoolmaster_n do_v his_o child_n and_o for_o to_o sanctify_v instruct_v and_o strengthen_v we_o in_o all_o his_o way_n and_o that_o this_o be_v true_a s._n paul_n write_v 22._o not_o only_o that_o it_o be_v say_v of_o abraham_n that_o his_o faith_n be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n but_o also_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v account_v righteous_a before_o god_n as_o he_o be_v if_o we_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n also_o

the_o corinthian_n he_o say_v to_o they_o speak_v of_o their_o life_n that_o they_o have_v be_v altogether_o lead_v in_o wickedness_n and_o be_v dissolute_a in_o all_o kind_n of_o mischief_n but_o that_o they_o be_v now_o wash_v 11._o justify_v and_o sanctify_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o through_o the_o spirit_n of_o god._n now_o if_o we_o will_v know_v by_o what_o mean_v

the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n point_n and_o of_o the_o quality_n of_o faith_n that_o apprehend_v the_o same_o it_o remain_v yet_o that_o we_o speak_v of_o three_o thing_n the_o first_o whether_o

christ_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o ever_o we_o can_v attain_v it_o in_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o a_o mortal_a body_n which_o be_v so_o gross_a and_o so_o slavish_a and_o which_o fight_v without_o cease_v against_o the_o spirit_n when_o it_o will_v lift_v up_o itself_o into_o any_o heavenly_a meditation_n moreover_o have_v such_o a_o heap_n of_o darkness_n and_o false_a opinion_n in_o our_o sense_n and_o understanding_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o ever_o we_o shall_v have_v any_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o god_n what_o diligence_n pain_n or_o travel_v so_o ever_o we_o take_v to_o get_v it_o have_v in_o like_a manner_n a_o heart_n entangle_v with_o so_o great_a passion_n and_o lust_n which_o drive_v we_o hither_o and_o thither_o to_o all_o vain_a affection_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o by_o reason_n hereof_o we_o can_v not_o love_n god_n perfect_o and_o so_o consequent_o have_v any_o perfect_a confidence_n in_o he_o because_o confidence_n follow_v love_n even_o like_a as_o love_n follow_v knowledge_n the_o knowledge_n therefore_o and_o confidence_n that_o we_o have_v of_o god_n be_v imperfect_a which_o be_v the_o two_o part_n of_o faith_n it_o follow_v hereof_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v perfect_a &_o that_o we_o have_v need_v continual_o to_o beg_v at_o god_n hand_n that_o

faith._n and_o whereto_o serve_v exhortation_n prayer_n sacrament_n and_o such_o other_o exercise_n if_o our_o faith_n can_v be_v perfect_a here_o see_v that_o all_o these_o be_v not_o ordain_v &_o

second_o point_n vice_n see_v that_o our_o faith_n be_v never_o perfect_a in_o this_o world_n but_o be_v always_o mingle_v with_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o infirmity_n which_o always_o remain_v in_o we_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o there_o be_v none_o can_v say_v his_o heart_n be_v clean_o from_o all_o sin_n and_o that_o we_o have_v need_n in_o respect_n of_o this_o to_o beg_v of_o god_n in_o

that_o as_o yet_o our_o faith_n be_v very_o weak_a &_o defile_v with_o many_o imperfection_n nevertheless_o it_o cease_v not_o to_o lay_v hold_v upon_o that_o that_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o bestow_v upon_o it_o no_o otherwise_o for_o example_n sake_n they_o as_o a_o little_a child_n who_o with_o his_o little_a hand_n faith._n or_o a_o poor_a man_n with_o his_o rugged_a and_o scabby_a

to_o take_v it_o even_o so_o also_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o far_o of_o that_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o faith_n shall_v keep_v we_o from_o embrace_v righteousness_n and_o the_o other_o benefit_n

to_o be_v righteous_a that_o he_o come_v not_o for_o their_o sake_n but_o to_o call_v sinner_n add_v the_o reason_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o that_o be_v sick_a have_v need_n of_o the_o physician_n and_o even_o like_a as_o our_o disease_n and_o infirmity_n let_v not_o but_o that_o our_o faith_n be_v it_o never_o so_o weak_a be_v yet_o capable_a of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n &_o of_o all_o the_o
