Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
The fourth point is the construction of the words; and that is two ways. The first is thus, The just by faith, shall live: the words by faith, being joined upon the word lust. And then the sense is ⟨p. 6⟩this: He that is just by his faith, shall live, or have eternal life. The second is thus; The just, shall live by his faith: the words by faith, being joined to the words shall live: & then the sense is this: The just while he lives in this world, he shall live by his faith. This latter construction and sense, I rather choose and embrace, because Paul,1 cuē in this sense brings this text to prove that life eternal, and consequently justification comes not by working according to the law, but by believing, and he makes an exposition between living by faith, and living by works.
The fourth point is the construction of the wordes; and that is two waies. The first is thus, The iust by faith, shall liue: the words by faith, being ioyned vpon the word lust. And then the sense is ⟨p. 6⟩this: He that is iust by his faith, shall liue, or haue eternall life. The second is thus; The iust, shall liue by his faith: the words by faith, being ioyned to the words shall liue: & then the sense is this: The iust while he liues in this world, he shall liue by his faith. This latter construction and sense, I rather choose and imbrace, because Paul,1 cuē in this sense brings this text to prooue that life eternall, and consequently iustification comes not by working according to the law, but by beleeuing, and he makes an exposition betweene liuing by faith, and liuing by workes.
