have_v recite_v these_o word_n the_o more_o full_o that_o you_o may_v clear_o see_v what_o be_v the_o doctrine_n and_o language_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o this_o i_o hope_v we_o all_o take_v to_o be_v good_a doctrine_n for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v it_o be_v i_o may_v add_v if_o it_o be_v necessary_a a_o great_a deal_n more_o as_o that_o where_o it_o tell_v we_o that_o man_n can_v make_v himself_o righteous_a by_o his_o own_o work_n neither_o in_o part_n nor_o in_o whole_a for_o that_o be_v the_o great_a arrogancy_n and_o presumption_n of_o man_n that_o antichrist_n can_v set_v up_o against_o god_n to_o affirm_v that_o a_o man_n may_v by_o his_o own_o work_n take_v away_o and_o purge_v his_o own_o sin_n and_o so_o justify_v himself_o but_o justification_n be_v the_o office_n of_o god_n only_o and_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n which_o we_o render_v unto_o he_o but_o which_o we_o receive_v of_o he_o by_o his_o free_a mercy_n and_o by_o the_o only_a merit_n of_o his_o most_o dear_o belove_v son_n and_o our_o only_a redeemer_n saviour_n and_o justifier_n jesus_n christ._n but_o i_o leave_v those_o who_o will_v see_v more_o of_o it_o to_o seek_v it_o in_o the_o first_o second_o and_o three_o part_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o salvation_n the_o first_o second_o and_o three_o part_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o first_o second_o and_o three_o part_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o good_a work_n and_o indeed_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n will_v not_o bear_v it_o that_o any_o work_n of_o our_o own_o shall_v even_o in_o part_n justify_v we_o for_o justification_n be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n remit_v our_o sin_n for_o the_o ransom_n and_o satisfaction_n make_v to_o his_o justice_n it_o can_v be_v that_o any_o thing_n which_o we_o can_v now_o do_v can_v be_v any_o part_n of_o such_o ransom_n or_o satisfaction_n for_o all_o that_o we_o can_v do_v be_v but_o part_n of_o what_o be_v due_a for_o the_o present_a 17.10_o as_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n we_o have_v do_v but_o what_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v and_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o surplusage_n which_o may_v accrue_v towards_o satisfaction_n for_o what_o be_v past_a like_a as_o a_o tenant_n who_o be_v run_v deep_a in_o arrear_n of_o rent_n can_v by_o pay_v part_n of_o the_o grow_v rend_v for_o the_o future_a make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o arrear_n already_o incur_v for_o this_o grow_a rent_n be_v due_a also_o if_o it_o be_v say_v as_o perhaps_o it_o may_v that_o on_o this_o account_n we_o must_v renounce_v our_o faith_n also_o for_o neither_o do_v faith_n satisfy_v god_n justice_n or_o deserve_v our_o justification_n i_o say_v so_o too_o that_o faith_n as_o a_o grace_n or_o faith_n as_o a_o work_n do_v not_o justify_v we_o but_o only_o as_o by_o it_o we_o embrace_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o righteousness_n alone_o so_o embrace_v we_o can_v be_v justify_v and_o i_o say_v so_o the_o rather_o because_o our_o church_n say_v so_o too_o in_o these_o word_n the_o true_a understanding_n of_o this_o doctrine_n we_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o faith_n without_o work_n or_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n only_o be_v not_o that_o this_o our_o own_o act_n to_o believe_v in_o christ_n or_o this_o our_o faith_n in_o christ_n which_o be_v within_o we_o do_v justify_v we_o for_o that_o be_v to_o count_v ourselves_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o some_o act_n or_o virtue_n that_o be_v within_o ourselves_o but_o the_o true_a meaning_n thereof_o be_v that_o although_o we_o hear_v god_n word_n and_o believe_v it_o although_o we_o have_v faith_n hope_n charity_n repentance_n dread_a and_o fear_v of_o god_n within_o we_o and_o do_v never_o so_o many_o work_v thereunto_o yet_o we_o must_v renounce_v the_o merit_n of_o all_o our_o say_a virtue_n of_o faith_n hope_n charity_n and_o all_o other_o virtue_n and_o good_a deed_n which_o we_o either_o have_v do_v shall_v do_v or_o can_v do_v as_o thing_n that_o be_v far_o too_o weak_a and_o insufficient_a and_o unperfect_a to_o deserve_v remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o our_o justification_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v trust_v only_o in_o god_n mercy_n and_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o our_o highpriest_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n once_o offer_v for_o we_o on_o the_o cross_n to_o obtain_v thereby_o god_n grace_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n original_a and_o actual_a and_o as_o great_a and_o as_o godly_a a_o virtue_n as_o the_o lively_a faith_n be_v yet_o it_o put_v we_o from_o itself_o and_o remit_v or_o appoint_v we_o unto_o christ_n for_o to_o have_v only_o by_o he_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n so_o that_o our_o faith_n in_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o thus_o it_o be_v not_o i_o that_o take_v away_o your_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v christ_n only_o and_o to_o he_o only_o i_o send_v you_o for_o that_o purpose_n forsake_v therein_o all_o your_o good_a virtue_n word_n thought_n and_o work_n and_o only_o put_v your_o trust_n in_o christ._n nevertheless_o because_o faith_n do_v direct_o send_v we_o to_o christ_n for_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o by_o faith_n give_v we_o of_o god_n we_o embrace_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n which_o thing_n no_o other_o of_o our_o virtue_n or_o work_n proper_o do_v therefore_o scripture_n use_v to_o say_v that_o faith_n without_o work_n do_v justify_v so_o that_o according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n neither_o our_o other_o work_n and_o grace_n nor_o even_o faith_n itself_o as_o a_o work_n or_o as_o a_o habit_n or_o grace_n in_o we_o do_v justify_v we_o but_o only_o as_o it_o accept_v and_o embrace_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n for_o which_o alone_o our_o sin_n be_v remit_v and_o we_o justify_v not_o for_o any_o thing_n do_v by_o we_o which_o accept_n or_o embrace_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o salvation_n by_o christ_n therein_o offer_v be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n assent_v to_o a_o truth_n for_o thus_o the_o devil_n believe_v and_o wicked_a man_n as_o a_o act_n of_o the_o will_n accept_n of_o it_o and_o consent_v to_o it_o and_o trust_v in_o it_o which_o the_o devil_n and_o wicked_a man_n have_v not_o this_o be_v the_o language_n of_o our_o church_n i_o will_v not_o willing_o depart_v from_o it_o or_o gratify_v the_o papist_n so_o far_a as_o to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o reproach_v our_o church_n as_o decry_v good_a work_n because_o we_o say_v we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o they_o if_o any_o shall_v yet_o say_v that_o when_o they_o affirm_v we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o faith_n only_o but_o by_o work_n also_o they_o mean_v not_o that_o either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o do_v merit_n god_n favour_n and_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o only_o that_o both_o faith_n and_o work_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o party_n justify_v and_o that_o by_o justification_n they_o mean_v all_o that_o be_v require_v to_o make_v one_o a_o good_a man_n and_o one_o qualify_v for_o heaven_n and_o salvation_n which_o can_v be_v without_o these_o i_o say_v the_o meaning_n be_v good_a but_o so_o to_o speak_v be_v not_o to_o speak_v distinct_o and_o like_o a_o scholar_n but_o to_o speak_v confuse_o and_o to_o jumble_v together_o those_o thing_n which_o in_o themselves_o be_v very_o distinct._n for_o in_o order_n to_o salvation_n there_o be_v many_o other_o thing_n necessary_a beside_o justification_n there_o be_v election_n regeneration_n justification_n adoption_n sanctification_n and_o as_o the_o fruit_n hereof_o a_o holy_a life_n with_o perseverance_n therein_o to_o the_o end_n of_o which_o divine_n use_v to_o speak_v distinct_o and_o consider_v separately_z what_o belong_v to_o each_o election_n be_v the_o act_n of_o god_n which_o we_o be_v not_o curious_o to_o pry_v into_o nor_o can_v we_o know_v it_o otherwise_o than_o as_o the_o effect_n discover_v it_o in_o time_n justification_n be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n also_o and_o as_o to_o a_o person_n peccant_a it_o be_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n upon_o which_o we_o be_v in_o god_n account_n repute_v as_o just_a or_o innocent_a and_o this_o only_a for_o the_o satisfaction_n which_o christ_n have_v make_v not_o for_o any_o work_n of_o we_o and_o this_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n be_v by_o we_o embrace_v by_o faith_n accept_v this_o salvation_n offer_v by_o christ_n not_o by_o any_o other_o grace_n adoption_n be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n likewise_o whereby_o he_o repute_v we_o his_o child_n and_o heir_n of_o his_o kingdom_n which_o be_v for_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n purchase_v heaven_n
for_o we_o whereby_o we_o be_v entitle_v to_o that_o purchase_v possession_n 1.14_o and_o this_o by_o we_o be_v accept_v by_o faith_n also_o and_o all_o those_o be_v relative_n act_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o rather_o then_o work_v wrought_v in_o we_o but_o regeneration_n and_o sanctification_n be_v work_n of_o god_n wrought_v in_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o produce_v not_o one_o a_o relative_n but_o a_o real_a change_n whereby_o be_v wrought_v in_o we_o a_o new_a nature_n or_o as_o the_o scripture_n call_v it_o the_o new_a man_n 4.24_o or_o the_o new_a creature_n whereby_o holiness_n 6.15_o and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v begin_v and_o increase_v gradual_o till_o we_o come_v to_o that_o of_o the_o perfect_a man_n 4.13_o to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o stature_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n to_o that_o perfection_n which_o we_o shall_v attain_v in_o glory_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o holiness_n and_o a_o godly_a life_n towards_o god_n and_o towards_o man_n be_v the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o such_o holiness_n and_o sanctification_n and_o necessary_a also_o to_o salvation_n so_o that_o holiness_n and_o a_o good_a life_n with_o the_o work_n of_o piety_n charity_n and_o other_o good_a deed_n be_v indeed_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o belong_v proper_o to_o sanctification_n rather_o than_o to_o justification_n and_o i_o will_v ask_v those_o man_n who_o choose_v to_o speak_v otherwise_o whether_o they_o think_v that_o beside_o justification_n there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o sanctification_n the_o papist_n if_o he_o will_v speak_v out_o must_v say_v roundly_o there_o be_v not_o for_o when_o they_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o inherent_a righteousness_n that_o be_v by_o holiness_n they_o leave_v nothing_o for_o sanctification_n but_o we_o who_o think_v that_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n though_o of_o the_o same_o person_n be_v different_a notion_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o rather_o refer_v sanctify_v to_o sanctification_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o justify_v and_o the_o sanctify_a person_n be_v the_o same_o and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o so_o nice_o distinguish_v between_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n i_o say_v it_o be_v true_a the_o person_n be_v the_o same_o but_o the_o notion_n be_v different_a and_o though_o we_o may_v true_o say_v justus_n est_fw-fr

justification_n be_v sanctification_n and_o a_o little_a logic_n will_v teach_v a_o freshman_n that_o concretes_n may_v be_v predicate_v one_o of_o another_o when_o the_o abstract_n may_v not_o we_o may_v say_v that_o homo_fw-la est_fw-la animal_n but_o not_o that_o humanitas_fw-la est_fw-la animalitas_fw-la or_o that_o homo_fw-la est_fw-la albus_n but_o not_o humanitas_fw-la est_fw-la albedo_n if_o last_o it_o be_v think_v advantageous_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o holiness_n and_o a_o godly_a life_n to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o it_o i_o say_v neither_o be_v this_o necessary_a for_o this_o be_v as_o well_o do_v by_o preach_v the_o necessity_n of_o regeneration_n and_o sanctification_n as_o without_o which_o we_o can_v hope_v for_o salvation_n and_o then_o the_o exercise_n of_o holiness_n and_o a_o godly_a life_n come_v in_o proper_o in_o its_o own_o place_n as_o the_o necessary_a effect_n of_o sanctification_n and_o in_o this_o capacity_n it_o be_v that_o our_o church_n without_o derogate_a any_o thing_n from_o the_o necessity_n of_o they_o do_v place_n good_a work_n as_o the_o necessary_a fruit_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o justify_v and_o a_o pretence_n of_o faith_n without_o these_o she_o esteem_v to_o be_v not_o faith_n but_o fancy_n and_o therefore_o though_o she_o exclude_v they_o as_o have_v be_v say_v from_o the_o office_n of_o justify_v yet_o think_v they_o necessary_a to_o be_v join_v with_o faith_n in_o every_o person_n that_o be_v justify_v and_o make_v it_o the_o office_n and_o duty_n of_o every_o christian_a man_n unto_o god_n not_o to_o pass_v the_o time_n of_o this_o present_a life_n unfruitful_o and_o idle_o not_o care_v how_o few_o good_a work_n we_o do_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o profit_n of_o our_o

not_o a_o right_a pure_a and_o lively_a faith_n but_o a_o dead_a devilish_a counterfeit_a and_o feign_a faith_n as_o s._n paul_n and_o s._n james_n call_v it_o for_o even_o the_o devil_n know_v and_o

follow_v a_o love_a heart_n to_o obey_v his_o commandment_n and_o this_o true_a christian_a faith_n neither_o any_o devil_n have_v nor_o yet_o any_o man_n which_o in_o the_o outward_a profession_n
