A97232	Chonoyterion he Sion. The refinement of Zion: or, The old orthodox Protestant doctrine justified, and defended against several exceptions of the Antinomians, methodically digested into questions, wherein many weighty and important cases of conscience are handled, concerning the nature of faith and repentance, or conversion to God: of his eternal love, and beholding of sin in his dearest children: of justification from eternity, of of [sic] preparations to the acceptance of Christ, of prayer for pardon of sin, and turning to God: of the gospel covenant, aud [sic] tenders of salvation, on the termes of faith and repentance. For the establishment of the scrupulous, conviction of the erroneous, and consolation of distressed consciences. By Anthony Warton, minister of the word at Breamore in Hampshire.

scripture_n have_v therefore_o of_o late_o meet_v with_o a_o book_n of_o very_o high_a esteem_n with_o many_o entitle_v the_o exaltation_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o t.c._n and_o find_v that_o the_o author_n thereof_o do_v teach_v that_o man_n be_v not_o at_o all_o prepare_v for_o christ_n and_o faith_n in_o he_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o hear_v of_o the_o gospel_n only_o i_o have_v think_v good_a therefore_o not_o to_o pass_v over_o in_o silence_n but_o to_o examine_v those_o thing_n he_o deliver_v and_o the_o rather_o because_o his_o reason_n and_o allegation_n do_v differ_v from_o those_o which_o i_o have_v before_o meet_v with_o 3_o exalt_v of_o christ_n pag._n 216._o edit_fw-la 3_o first_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o though_o all_o be_v under_o the_o law_n by_o nature_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o discover_v it_o that_o be_v as_o he_o after_o explain_v himself_o that_o discover_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o be_v under_o the_o curse_n and_o condemnation_n of_o the_o law_n 112._o see_v also_o before_o pag._n 112._o and_o so_o most_o miserable_a creature_n he_o teach_v therefore_o that_o a_o man_n must_v first_o in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n see_v christ_n and_o then_o by_o reflect_v upon_o himself_o see_v his_o own_o misery_n which_o otherwise_o be_v not_o to_o be_v see_v and_o discern_v by_o the_o law_n but_o in_o this_o he_o contradict_v st._n paul_n for_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o by_o the_o law_n come_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n and_o he_o instance_v in_o himself_o 7.7_o rom._n 3.20_o rom._n 7.7_o and_o say_v i_o have_v not_o know_v sin_n but_o by_o the_o law_n for_o i_o have_v not_o know_v lust_n except_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v thus_o the_o law_n show_v we_o our_o sin_n yea_o and_o the_o punishment_n also_o 3.10_o deut._n 27.26_o gal._n 3.10_o that_o by_o they_o we_o have_v deserve_v when_o it_o say_v curse_v be_v every_o one_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v they_o 3.7.9_o 2_o cor._n 3.7.9_o and_o hereupon_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o the_o ministration_n of_o death_n and_o of_o condemnation_n for_o as_o the_o law_n at_o the_o promulgation_n and_o publish_v thereof_o upon_o mount_n sinai_n be_v deliver_v with_o great_a terror_n so_o it_o still_o of_o itself_o terrifi_v and_o astonish_v the_o conscience_n of_o sinner_n accuse_v they_o when_o they_o do_v evil_a as_o both_o st._n paul_n 2.15_o rom._n 2.15_o and_o every_o man_n own_o experience_n teach_v but_o let_v we_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o argument_n of_o mr._n c._n whereby_o he_o endeavour_v to_o make_v good_a that_o which_o he_o have_v teach_v object_n first_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o a_o man_n never_o save_o see_v his_o evil_a condition_n without_o christ_n and_o again_o that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o discover_v sin_n unto_o he_o now_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n bring_v not_o this_o spirit_n but_o the_o hear_n of_o faith_n as_o witness_v st._n paul_n gal._n 3.2_o but_o here_o first_o i_o will_v know_v of_o he_o why_o he_o say_v answ_n a_o man_n never_o save_o know_v his_o evil_a condition_n without_o christ_n for_o our_o salvation_n consist_v not_o in_o know_v of_o our_o evil_a condition_n but_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n john_n 17.3_o isa_n 53.11_o for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v his_o evil_a condition_n by_o sin_n be_v to_o know_v that_o damnation_n be_v due_a unto_o he_o for_o his_o sin_n now_o many_o a_o man_n have_v attain_v to_o this_o knowledge_n who_o be_v never_o save_v salvation_n therefore_o do_v not_o at_o all_o consist_v in_o this_o but_o in_o a_o man_n fly_v unto_o christ_n and_o lay_v hold_n of_o he_o when_o he_o see_v how_o miserable_a his_o condition_n be_v become_v through_o sin_n now_o whereas_o he_o allege_v the_o apostle_n word_n gal._n 3.2_o to_o prove_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o bring_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n but_o of_o faith_n to_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o spirit_n without_o which_o he_o can_v see_v his_o miserable_a condition_n by_o sin_n i_o answer_v he_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v there_o partly_o of_o the_o miraculous_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v by_o god_n bestow_v on_o none_o but_o those_o that_o have_v hear_v the_o gospel_n and_o make_v profession_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o partly_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n which_o also_o be_v peculiar_a to_o believer_n now_o thus_o indeed_o we_o do_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n but_o otherwise_o 8.15_o rom._n 8.15_o as_o the_o same_o apostle_n give_v we_o elsewhere_o to_o understand_v we_o do_v by_o the_o law_n receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n to_o fear_v his_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o we_o receive_v from_o he_o illightning_n our_o mind_n with_o the_o true_a knowledge_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o law_n do_v fill_v our_o heart_n with_o fear_n and_o terror_n and_o so_o do_v put_v we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o bondage_n at_o or_o before_o our_o conversion_n unto_o faith_n in_o christ_n we_o have_v need_v therefore_o of_o the_o illumination_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o we_o may_v thorough_o understand_v the_o law_n for_o as_o long_o as_o man_n be_v leave_v to_o themselves_o their_o very_a knowledge_n of_o the_o law_n be_v but_o shallow_a and_o superficial_a as_o it_o to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o pharisee_n and_o in_o all_o those_o who_o be_v only_o civil_o honest_a which_o sort_n of_o man_n be_v either_o not_o at_o all_o or_o but_o a_o little_a trouble_v in_o their_o soul_n and_o conscience_n with_o the_o fear_n of_o their_o sin_n or_o of_o hell_n and_o damnation_n whereas_o then_o mr._n c._n say_v the_o apostle_n be_v once_o alive_a without_o the_o law_n that_o be_v without_o the_o spiritual_a understanding_n of_o the_o law_n but_o when_o the_o commandment_n come_v sin_n revive_v and_o he_o die_v that_o be_v when_o christ_n have_v open_v his_o eye_n to_o see_v into_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o law_n the_o spiritual_a sense_n thereof_o i_o trow_v he_o mean_v in_o all_o this_o i_o do_v agree_v with_o he_o but_o not_o in_o that_o which_o follow_v when_o he_o add_v that_o we_o come_v thus_o to_o know_v the_o spiritual_a understanding_n of_o the_o law_n only_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v the_o contrary_a to_o wit_n that_o when_o the_o law_n be_v preach_v man_n come_v to_o understand_v it_o by_o the_o illumination_n of_o the_o spirit_n open_v their_o mind_n to_o see_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o several_a precept_n thereof_o object_n but_o mr._n c_o think_v by_o instance_v in_o
