A50426	St. Paul's travailing pangs, with his legal-Galatians, or, A treatise of justification wherein these two dissertions are chiefly evinced viz. 1. That justification is not by the law, but by faith, 2. That yet men are generally prone to seek justification by the law : together with several characters assigned of a legal and evangical spirit : to which is added (by way of appendix) the manner of transferring justification from the law to faith / by Zach.

assoil_n of_o this_o difficulty_n i_o shall_v now_o address_v myself_o that_o be_v to_o the_o proof_n of_o my_o second_o assertion_n which_o be_v this_o what_o be_v do_v by_o christ_n viz._n

justification_n by_o faith_n which_o the_o apostle_n paul_n contend_v to_o have_v be_v the_o only_a way_n of_o justification_n in_o all_o age_n and_o for_o proof_n of_o this_o i_o offer_v these_o thing_n to_o consideration_n 1._o the_o saines_n in_o all_o age_n before_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n have_v this_o way_n of_o grace_n then_o as_o well_o as_o we_o have_v it_o now_o that_o i_o have_v

continue_v why_o be_v the_o vouchsafement_n of_o god_n grace_n in_o pardon_n of_o two_o such_o quite_o different_a kind_n so_o as_o to_o save_v his_o people_n for_o 4000_o year_n without_o a_o saviour_n and_o the_o rest_n by_o a_o saviour_n nay_o to_o save_v they_o without_o a_o saviour_n who_o yet_o he_o have_v by_o multitude_n of_o promise_n prophecy_n and_o prefiguration_n make_v to_o

his_o surety_n and_o that_o the_o law_n will_v be_v so_o well_o enough_o content_v and_o satisfy_v why_o will_v the_o lord_n put_v our_o saviour_n to_o so_o much_o trouble_n in_o suffer_v a_o death_n which_o he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v escape_v and_o which_o he_o so_o earnest_o desire_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o he_o may_v escape_v and_o all_o this_o to_o take_v off_o the_o law_n from_o

wit_n but_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v easy_a in_o itself_o to_o move_v a_o singer_n then_o to_o remove_v a_o mountain_n the_o last_o objection_n be_v this_o but_o than_o you_o substitute_v

shall_v prevent_v myself_o in_o what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v in_o the_o follow_a part_n of_o this_o treatise_n if_o i_o shall_v answer_v it_o at_o large_a in_o this_o place_n yet_o to_o give_v some_o taste_n of_o a_o answer_n here_o i_o make_v this_o distinction_n that_o there_o be_v indeed_o two_o way_n of_o run_v upon_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n either_o in_o whole_a or_o in_o part_n work_n two_o way_n of_o run_v upon_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n 1._o either_o upon_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n pure_o and_o strict_o so_o none_o dare_v touch_v or_o meddle_v with_o it_o 2._o upon_o it_o in_o part_n so_o as_o to_o mix_v it_o with_o the_o gospel_n a._n now_o i_o answer_v therefore_o that_o indeed_o our_o great_a care_n be_v to_o be_v lay_v out_o about_o avoid_v of_o these_o mixture_n of_o legality_n in_o our_o treat_v with_o god_n for_o justification_n and_o that_o be_v the_o great_a design_n of_o this_o treatise_n to_o caveat_n we_o against_o these_o mixture_n which_o we_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o be_v saulty_a in_o as_o i_o hope_v they_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o sequel_n of_o my_o discourse_n that_o please_v to_o go_v on_o in_o it_o hitherto_o we_o have_v see_v that_o there_o be_v gospel_n in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o what_o this_o gospel_n in_o the_o law_n be_v as_o also_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v deliver_v by_o moses_n can_v be_v no_o other_o but_o to_o put_v his_o disciple_n upon_o the_o way_n of_o believe_v for_o justification_n there_o be_v many_o other_o place_n in_o moses_n especial_o in_o the_o book_n of_o deut._n that_o have_v much_o gospel_n in_o they_o i_o shall_v only_o add_v one_o allegorical_a or_o typical_a argument_n which_o yet_o i_o think_v have_v much_o evidence_n in_o it_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n

that_o the_o law_n of_o our_o creation_n be_v natural_o a_o covenat_n of_o work_n faith_n the_o objection_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o gentile_n against_o justification_n by_o faith_n and_o that_o the_o

can_v not_o be_v justify_v at_o all_o or_o they_o must_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n i_o answer_v 1._o all_o be_v not_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o heathen_n be_v in_o a_o justifiable_a condition_n till_o christ_n be_v explicit_o and_o plain_o preach_v to_o they_o and_o for_o those_o that_o be_v not_o of_o it_o they_o will_v meet_v with_o no_o difficulty_n in_o this_o objection_n

can_v be_v make_v appear_v that_o the_o heathen_n without_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o scripture_n ture_n of_o the_o old-testament_n can_v not_o discover_v so_o much_o of_o the_o goodness_n

i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o if_o the_o heathen_n be_v any_o of_o they_o save_v or_o in_o a_o possibility_n to_o be_v save_v and_o justify_v it_o must_v be_v by_o their_o treat_v of_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o believe_v for_o that_o the_o law_n be_v render_v utter_o weak_a and_o unable_a to_o ●ustifie_v so_o much_o as_o one_o sinner_n now_o because_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o convenient_a in_o this_o place_n to_o engage_v in_o that_o controversy_n whether_o or_o no_o the_o gentile_n be_v in_o a_o salvable_a condition_n i_o shall_v neither_o produce_v the_o scripture_n which_o seem_v
