just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n alone_o now_o to_o believe_v true_o in_o god_n according_a to_o the_o receive_a use_n of_o scripture_n be_v to_o adhere_v to_o he_o by_o love_n and_o this_o our_o

25.21_o psal_n 25.21_o no_o flesh_n live_a can_v be_v justify_v for_o he_o say_v in_o another_o psalm_n let_v integrity_n and_o uprightness_n preserve_v i_o for_o i_o wait_v on_o thou_o last_o of_o all_o to_o what_o you_o urge_v so_o hard_o out_o of_o s._n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n s._n paul_n himself_o answer_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o next_o chapter_n there_o be_v therefore_o now_o no_o

it_o with_o a_o syllogism_n i_o profess_v i_o know_v not_o whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o false_a in_o the_o form_n but_o one_o proposition_n i_o be_o sure_a be_v false_a first_o that_o we_o have_v

that_o i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o i_o have_v sufficient_o in_o my_o reply_n restore_v that_o sacrament_n both_o in_o whole_a and_o in_o its_o part_n so_o shall_v insist_v upon_o it_o no_o

of_o saint_n paul_n who_o have_v no_o power_n to_o make_v a_o sacrament_n neither_o etc._n etc._n i_o concur_v with_o you_o that_o saint_n paul_n have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o to_o constitute_v a_o sacrament_n nor_o any_o but_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o constitute_v it_o a_o sacrament_n i_o shall_v prove_v ●non_o as_o for_o the_o mistake_a word_n in_o which_o you_o pretend_v sacrament_n for_o mystery_n i_o do_v confess_v that_o matrimony_n be_v a_o mystery_n but_o how_o dare_v you_o therefore_o infer_v that_o it_o be_v no_o sacrament_n when_o we_o know_v that_o all_o sacrament_n be_v mystery_n and_o so_o the_o greek_n as_o i_o be_o inform_v do_v general_o call_v all_o the_o seven_o then_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sacrament_n in_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v ever_o the_o less_o a_o sacrament_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o apostle_n here_o explain_v how_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n that_o be_v how_o it_o come_v to_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o a_o holy_a thing_n and_o that_o not_o of_o grace_n only_o as_o all_o the_o other_o be_v but_o of_o something_o more_o that_o be_v of_o the_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n so_o upon_o the_o matter_n it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v no_o sacrament_n that_o it_o may_v be_v well_o repute_v as_o a_o double_a one_o with_o reverence_n be_v it_o speak_v to_o the_o five_o whereas_o you_o say_v we_o have_v a_o less_o pretence_n for_o our_o extreme_a unction_n to_o make_v it_o a_o sacrament_n i_o do_v in_o one_o sense_n submit_v to_o it_o for_o it_o be_v not_o so_o literal_o constitute_v a_o sacrament_n by_o our_o bless_a saviour_n as_o the_o other_o be_v but_o yet_o it_o be_v of_o his_o own_o

and_o possess_v with_o his_o full_a authority_n shall_v have_v the_o power_n to_o institute_v a_o sacrament_n but_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o our_o saviour_n do_v institute_v it_o and_o saint_n james_n only_o publish_v and_o declare_v it_o and_o though_o it_o be_v at_o s●me_a time_n doubt_v whether_o that_o epistle_n be_v write_v by_o any_o body_n else_o beside_o saint_n james_n yet_o it_o be_v

any_o other_o apostle_n now_o because_o you_o seem_v to_o take_v for_o grant_v that_o our_o sacrament_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n humane_a constitution_n and_o it_o be_v of_o faith_n that_o
