a

man
there
is
neceífarily
required
as
well
breathing
which
is
an ae
&ion
or
effc&
oflife,
as
the
foule which
is
the
caufe thereof,
and
fo

man
there

good

faith
which
is
the
inflrumental

faith
and works
are
neuer feuered
in
the
fttbie&
or
party iuflified,
although.they
are
difioyned
in
the
a&
of
iuílifying.So the eie
onely
feeth
and
not
the
forehead;but
yet the
eie feuered
from
the
forehead
feeth
not,
becaufe
it
is
buta
dead
eie
;the
hand
writeth
and
not the body,but
the hand feuered from
the
bo-
dy
writeth not,
becaufe
it
is
a
dead hand.The
foot goeth
and
not
the head or
heart,but
the foot
which
is
feuered from
the
head
or
heart
goeth
not
;
and
fo
faith only iuflifieth, and
not
hope,
not
charitie,
not workes, but
the faith
that
is
feuered
fromhope,
charitie
and
workes,
iuflifieth
not,
becaufe
it is
but
adead
faith:as therefore when we
fay
the
eie
only
feeth,
the
hand
onely
writetli,the foote
only
walketh,our meaning
is
not
that-thefe parts
being alone,
and feuered from
the
ref},
fee,
write,
-and
walke
;
but
thatamong{l
all
other
parts, the
a6lion
ór-
funelion:of
Peeing
belongeth
peculiarly
vnto
the
eie,writing to the hand,walking
to the foot:
fo
when
we fay
that
onely faith iuflifieth, our meaning
is
not that the faith
which
is
alone,
and
feuered
from other
graces,
and the fruits
ofthem good
workes,
iuflifieth
;
but
that
among{}
all
other
graces this
ac-
of
iuflifying
peculiarly and
properlie
be-
longeth
vnto
faith,
and
not
to
any
other
grace, vertue,
of
workes.
Novi,"
that that
faith
alone,
in
this
fence
vnderflood,
iuí}i-
fieth, appeareth plainelie,
both
by teflimonies
of
Scripture
.and
apparant reafons. For the
fir[},
it
is
manifefl,Rom.3.28,
where
after
long
difputation concerning this
point,
the
Ab
poflfe
expreflieconcludeth
thus.
Therefore
tre
v
conclude,
that
a man
is
i:sflifedby
faith
without the
wores
ofthe
law.
And
chap.4.verf.5°.
Yo
him
that
tborketh not,
but
beleeneth
in him
that
iuflifieth
the
vnxrodly,his
faith
is
counted
for
righteoufneffe.
SoGal.2.i6.

that
a
man
is
not
iufiifiedby the,
market
of
the laiv,but
by
the
faith of
