of_o thing_n and_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v easy_o be_v convince_v what_o be_v the_o term_n 1._o there_o be_v the_o same_o term_n and_o condition_n of_o justification_n and_o of_o salvation_n whatsoever_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o one_o be_v also_o of_o the_o other_o for_o the_o apostle_n argue_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n against_o salvation_n by_o work_n as_o justification_n by_o work_n yea_o it_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n for_o justification_n passive_o take_v as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o right_a to_o salvation_n and_o we_o need_v no_o more_o for_o heaven_n than_o right_a to_o it_o do_v but_o get_v and_o keep_v right_a to_o heaven_n which_o be_v justification_n and_o we_o need_v no_o more_o on_o our_o part_n as_o for_o possession_n that_o be_v god_n work_n by_o his_o angel_n carry_v away_o soul_n raise_v body_n many_o worthy_a man_n have_v say_v that_o repentance_n sincere_a obedience_n be_v only_o for_o possession_n and_o not_o for_o right_o but_o we_o be_v not_o to_o work_v for_o possession_n at_o all_o we_o need_v not_o get_v upon_o a_o hill_n when_o about_o to_o die_v to_o save_v the_o angel_n a_o labour_n of_o carry_v our_o soul_n too_o far_o do_v but_o get_v and_o keep_v right_o and_o to_o deny_v possession_n to_o we_o if_o we_o have_v right_a to_o it_o by_o promise_n will_v be_v unfaithfulness_n in_o god_n which_o we_o need_v not_o to_o fear_v therefore_o if_o you_o will_v grant_v that_o all_o the_o thing_n i_o have_v speak_v of_o be_v require_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n than_o they_o be_v also_o to_o justification_n only_o still_o it_o be_v here_o as_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n of_o like_a nature_n consent_n hearty_a consent_n to_o the_o gospel-term_n immediate_o instate_v we_o in_o justification_n and_o right_a to_o heaven_n but_o if_o we_o will_v have_v continuance_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o right_a to_o heaven_n we_o must_v continue_v to_o consent_v to_o those_o term_n as_o to_o the_o sincerity_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o endeavour_n else_o we_o shall_v lose_v our_o justification_n and_o right_a to_o heaven_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v justify_v be_v because_o god_n keep_v we_o from_o depart_v from_o he_o by_o keep_v in_o we_o care_n and_o watchfulness_n thus_o we_o see_v whatsoever_o we_o may_v lawful_o do_v for_o salvation_n the_o same_o we_o may_v lawful_o do_v for_o justification_n 2._o whatsoever_o duty_n there_o be_v that_o if_o we_o do_v not_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o right_n to_o salvation_n or_o justification_n that_o be_v a_o condition_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o justification_n it_o be_v too_o common_a a_o say_n and_o a_o great_a upholder_n of_o the_o antinomian_a way_n do_v but_o believe_v say_v some_o and_o by_o believe_v they_o do_v not_o mean_v as_o i_o do_v the_o whole_a of_o christianity_n but_o some_o one_o act_n as_o believe_v my_o sin_n be_v pardon_v or_o reliance_n or_o accept_v christ_n for_o my_o saviour_n and_o such_o act_n as_o accept_v christ_n for_o lord_n and_o sincere_a obedience_n will_v follow_v but_o they_o be_v not_o condition_n of_o justification_n and_o salvation_n but_o put_v that_o one_o act_n and_o they_o will_v natural_o and_o inevitable_o follow_v but_o ask_v they_o suppose_v they_o do_v not_o follow_v they_o will_v answer_v you_o must_v not_o suppose_v it_o they_o will_v for_o they_o dare_v not_o ordinary_o say_v that_o if_o they_o do_v not_o follow_v it_o you_o will_v yet_o have_v right_a to_o heaven_n i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o vanity_n of_o such_o talk_n this_o be_v virtual_o to_o say_v god_n never_o make_v promise_n to_o these_o as_o condition_n never_o suspend_v salvation_n on_o they_o but_o they_o will_v follow_v faith_n natural_o this_o be_v to_o say_v godliness_n have_v not_o the_o promise_n of_o this_o life_n or_o however_o not_o of_o that_o to_o come_v else_o it_o will_v be_v a_o condition_n of_o the_o promise_n the_o instance_n that_o be_v usual_o bring_v of_o it_o be_v this_o there_o can_v be_v a_o seeing-eye_n without_o the_o body_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o eye_n that_o only_o see_v so_o faith_n only_o be_v the_o condition_n only_o attain_v right_a but_o can_v be_v without_o work_n now_o i_o will_v bring_v this_o to_o make_v it_o like_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n suppose_v one_o promise_v you_o such_o a_o reward_n if_o you_o bring_v he_o and_o give_v he_o the_o see_a eye_n of_o such_o a_o beast_n we_o be_v sure_a if_o the_o meaning_n be_v according_a to_o the_o word_n you_o will_v have_v right_a to_o the_o reward_n if_o you_o bring_v he_o a_o seeing-eye_n without_o the_o body_n though_o indeed_o you_o can_v yet_o we_o be_v sure_a if_o you_o do_v you_o will_v have_v right_a and_o he_o will_v be_v

seeing-eye_n it_o will_v not_o attain_v right_a without_o the_o body_n then_o we_o be_v equal_o sure_a that_o we_o mistake_v his_o word_n or_o meaning_n he_o speak_v synecdochical_o for_o than_o it_o be_v equal_o a_o condition_n that_o the_o body_n be_v bring_v as_o that_o the_o seeing-eye_n be_v bring_v and_o it_o be_v equal_o influential_a into_o right_n for_o come_v to_o those_o thing_n that_o do_v natural_o and_o universal_o accompany_v and_o follow_v one_o another_o and_o where_o but_o one_o of_o they_o be_v make_v the_o condition_n and_o the_o other_o not_o the_o absence_n of_o that_o which_o be_v not_o a_o condition_n will_v no_o way_n hinder_v right_a and_o so_o not_o right_a to_o justification_n and_o salvation_n if_o a_o man_n become_v a_o christian_a indeed_o it_o natural_o and_o inevitable_o follow_v he_o shall_v be_v hate_v of_o wicked_a man_n but_o god_n never_o suspending_a justification_n and_o salvation_n upon_o it_o never_o make_v this_o a_o condition_n we_o may_v true_o say_v if_o a_o man_n be_v a_o sincere_a christian_a it_o will_v not_o hinder_v his_o justification_n and_o salvation_n though_o the_o wicked_a do_v not_o hate_v he_o so_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v a_o true_a christian_a but_o he_o must_v eat_v drink_v and_o breathe_v these_o be_v natural_a concomitant_n yet_o these_o not_o be_v make_v condition_n though_o he_o do_v never_o eat_v drink_v nor_o breathe_v he_o shall_v be_v save_v if_o you_o can_v say_v of_o any_o grace_n or_o any_o measure_n of_o grace_n as_o assurance_n or_o joy_n that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o justification_n and_o salvation_n then_o only_o you_o may_v say_v they_o be_v not_o condition_n of_o these_o if_o any_o one_o belove_a sin_n know_o and_o wilful_o continue_v in_o will_v hinder_v a_o man_n pardon_n justification_n or_o right_a to_o heaven_n then_o a_o sincere_a desire_n and_o endeavour_v according_a to_o his_o ability_n to_o get_v rid_v of_o that_o belove_a sin_n be_v a_o condition_n of_o his_o pardon_n and_o justification_n 3._o all_o condition_n of_o justification_n and_o salvation_n be_v equal_o condition_n equal_o influential_a into_o right_n if_o only_o a_o accident_n or_o mode_n of_o a_o thing_n be_v make_v a_o condition_n with_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v equal_o a_o condition_n with_o the_o thing_n itself_o if_o one_o promise_v to_o bring_v

a_o horse_n so_o in_o any_o instance_n you_o can_v bring_v either_o in_o fact_n or_o fiction_n if_o i_o promise_v something_o upon_o condition_n you_o bring_v i_o a_o hundred_o and_o you_o bring_v
