former_a proposition_n and_o mean_v it_o in_o the_o very_a same_o latitude_n that_o thereit_n have_v be_v use_v for_o the_o entire_a not_o partial_a or_o first_o or_o one_o part_n of_o justification_n to_o let_v this_o pass_v when_o you_o have_v take_v notice_n of_o it_o be_v not_o a_o act_n of_o charity_n but_o justice_n in_o you_o yet_o that_o whirh_n will_v have_v be_v very_o welcome_a to_o i_o many_o time_n for_o just_a from_o as_o true_a or_o solid_a ground_n as_o this_o have_v many_o of_o your_o other_o exception_n spring_v up_o and_o have_v not_o so_o candid_o be_v lay_v down_o by_o you_o to_o your_o next_o question_n which_o you_o profess_v to_o ask_v that_o mistake_n may_v be_v prevent_v upon_o that_o account_n i_o profess_v to_o answer_v most_o cheerful_o for_o i_o see_v how_o wearisome_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o have_v be_v mistake_v to_o your_o first_o quaere_fw-la why_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o justify_v etc._n etc._n do_v not_o extend_v to_o every_o man_n for_o who_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v i_o answer_v clear_o because_o christ_n satisfaction_n be_v not_o absolute_o for_o all_o or_o that_o they_o may_v be_v pardon_v whatever_o they_o do_v how_o infidel_n or_o impenitent_a soever_o they_o continue_v but_o conditional_o for_o all_o and_o thereupon_o that_o grace_n of_o justification_n extend_v to_o none_o but_o those_o who_o perform_v the_o condition_n for_o your_o second_n it_o be_v very_o nice_a and_o may_v sure_o have_v be_v spare_v in_o this_o business_n that_o because_o god_n have_v be_v affirm_v by_o i_o to_o require_v regeneration_n as_o a_o condition_n to_o justification_n therefore_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o what_o condition_n god_n require_v unregenerate_a person_n to_o perform_v that_o they_o may_v attain_v unto_o regeneration_n to_o question_v thus_o be_v infinite_a and_o to_o this_o matter_n of_o justification_n utter_o unnecessary_a but_o yet_o i_o shall_v not_o fail_v you_o in_o any_o thing_n i_o will_v satisfy_v you_o in_o that_o also_o god_n require_v in_o the_o unregenerate_a man_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o the_o ancient_n express_v it_o a_o readiness_n to_o obey_v his_o call_n not_o to_o resist_v but_o

god_n enable_v he_o to_o do_v as_o for_o your_o demand_n of_o i_o by_o way_n of_o retribution_n that_o i_o must_v grant_v that_o god_n do_v justify_v the_o ungodly_a i._n e._n the_o man_n that_o be_v guilty_a of_o many_o sin_n i_o make_v no_o question_n of_o that_o if_o he_o be_v a_o penitent_a and_o so_o may_v he_o be_v and_o yet_o be_v call_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d still_o in_o the_o

have_v nor_o do_v perform_v exact_a perfect_a legal_a obedience_n which_o be_v very_o reconcileable_a if_o not_o the_o same_o with_o what_o you_o confess_v that_o god_n never_o justify_v a_o impenitent_a infidel_n in_o sensu_fw-la composito_fw-la i._n e._n never_o any_o that_o be_v then_o infidel_n or_o remain_v impenitent_a to_o your_o three_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o condition_n which_o do_v so_o qualify_v the_o subject_n that_o i_o can_v say_v by_o it_o and_o only_o by_o it_o i_o be_o justify_v i._n e._n by_o it_o only_o as_o a_o condition_n not_o include_v any_o causality_n in_o it_o and_o if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o that_o condition_n be_v you_o have_v be_v oft_o tell_v already_o and_o i_o now_o tell_v you_o faith_n in_o the_o nation_n wherein_o it_o signify_v a_o receive_v the_o whole_a christ_n and_o contain_v in_o it_o a_o resolution_n of_o obey_v christ_n command_n as_o well_o as_o of_o depend_v on_o he_o for_o mercy_n and_o on_o supposition_n or_o condition_n that_o you_o grant_v that_o and_o so_o speak_v of_o faith_n as_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d i_o will_v speak_v with_o you_o in_o the_o dialect_n of_o the_o first_o sort_n of_o the_o man_n you_o mention_v and_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v require_v to_o receive_v the_o object_n of_o justification_n christ_n etc._n etc._n but_o withal_o add_v that_o it_o be_v require_v as_o a_o condition_n too_o to_o dispose_v or_o qualify_v the_o subject_n and_o that_o without_o this_o condition_n no_o man_n live_a shall_v be_v justify_v which_o be_v

causality_n to_o this_o qualification_n or_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o of_o be_v a_o condition_n by_o which_o he_o be_v justify_v i._n e._n be_v not_o jnstify_v without_o it_o and_o so_o this_o be_v as_o plain_a as_o i_o can_v devise_v too_o and_o i_o think_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o mistake_n for_o in_o the_o sense_n wherein_o i_o have_v now_o express_v myself_o i_o do_v again_o consent_v to_o your_o conclusion_n that_o god_n do_v by_o his_o free_a and_o effectual_a grace_n work_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o elect_a to_o receive_v christ_n that_o be_v the_o whole_a christ_n that_o they_o may_v be_v justify_v not_o by_o their_o own_o obedience_n or_o vow_v of_o obedience_n as_o by_o a_o cause_n but_o by_o obedience_n of_o christ_n alone_o free_o impute_v by_o god_n and_o rest_v on_o by_o faith_n only_o it_o be_v one_o act_n of_o that_o faith_n by_o which_o the_o just_a do_v live_v to_o have_v affiance_n or_o rest_n on_o christ._n in_o your_o moreover_o it_n may_v also_o be_v true_a that_o there_o may_v be_v some_o difference_n between_o dispose_v the_o subject_n to_o salvation_n and_o to_o justification_n as_o the_o cordial_a habit_n of_o faith_n and_o sincere_a vow_n may_v dispose_v to_o justification_n and_o in_o case_n of_o live_v to_o occasion_n and_o opportunity_n the_o act_n of_o faith_n and_o actual_a performance_n will_v be_v require_v yet_o so_o that_o

that_o there_o be_v faith_n require_v to_o receive_v the_o object_n christ_n jehova_n our_o righteousness_n and_o grace_v prerequire_v to_o enable_v thus_o to_o believe_v and_o obedience_n to_o or_o

therefore_o faith_n concur_v so_o with_o such_o a_o vow_n or_o with_o faithful_a action_n can_v justify_v we_o this_o i_o write_v out_o of_o your_o paper_n as_o fast_o as_o i_o can_v drive_v and_o by_o the_o way_n you_o see_v some_o difference_n between_o our_o temper_n i_o consent_v to_o as_o much_o of_o you_o as_o possible_o i_o can_v and_o labour_n to_o take_v as_o few_o exception_n you_o on_o the_o contrary_n have_v another_o method_n in_o read_v they_o that_o you_o be_v not_o kind_a to_o and_o consent_v to_o it_o most_o full_o at_o first_o sight_n and_o never_o remember_v to_o have_v doubt_v of_o it_o since_o i_o consider_v divinity_n but_o for_o your_o addition_n of_o faith_n justify_v relative_o you_o must_v give_v i_o leave_v not_o to_o take_v that_o into_o my_o form_n of_o doctrine_n be_v not_o very_o intelligible_a but_o to_o use_v my_o own_o expression_n as_o conceive_v they_o more_o perspicuous_a and_o commodious_a to_o the_o notion_n i_o have_v of_o this_o matter_n viz._n thus_o that_o christ_n only_o justify_v faith_n receive_v christ_n but_o yet_o still_o by_o no_o way_n of_o causality_n justify_v be_v causal_n indeed_o in_o receive_v christ_n but_o only_o the_o condition_n in_o justify_v because_o though_o receive_v be_v a_o act_n of_o we_o and_o in_o we_o yet_o justification_n be_v a_o act_n only_o of_o god_n upon_o we_o and_o concern_v we_o which_o in_o effect_n you_o yield_v also_o when_o you_o say_v that_o faith_n can_v pardon_v sin_n or_o accept_v for_o than_o it_o can_v justify_v at_o this_o time_n i_o think_v we_o be_v excellent_o well_o
