by_o what_o i_o have_v say_v it_o may_v evident_o appear_v that_o these_o word_n do_v not_o express_v the_o way_n how_o we_o be_v justify_v but_o they_o only_o declare_v what_o manner_n of_o man_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v who_o be_v justify_v and_o have_v obtain_v a_o right_a to_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n by_o faith_n and_o free_a grace_n another_o argument_n the_o foolish_a virgin_n be_v

of_o the_o house_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o the_o inheritance_n must_v needs_o be_v due_a to_o he_o that_o faithful_o and_o diligent_o perform_v his_o duty_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v give_v to_o faith_n not_o to_o duty_n by_o way_n of_o gift_n not_o by_o way_n of_o bargain_n not_o for_o merit_n but_o free_o and_o though_o faith_n in_o the_o mean_a while_o be_v not_o idle_a but_o diligent_o exercise_v itself_o in_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n yet_o the_o possession_n of_o this_o great_a benefit_n shall_v not_o therefore_o be_v attribute_v unto_o work_n suppose_v a_o adopt_a son_n in_o manage_v well_o his_o father_n good_n show_v himself_o a_o faithful_a steward_n in_o his_o father_n house_n be_v not_o his_o father_n inheritance_n bestow_v upon_o

be_v a_o reward_n give_v according_a to_o work_n the_o judgement_n of_o god_n reward_v according_a to_o work_v therefore_o there_o be_v no_o justification_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n without_o
