A45162	Ultimas manus being letters between Mr. John Humphrey, and Mr. Samuel Clark, in reference to the point of justification : written upon the occasion of Mr. Clark's printing his book upon that subject, after Mr. Humfrey's book entituled The righteousness of God, and published for vindication of that doctrine wherein they agree, as found, by shewing the difference of it from that of the Papist, and the mistakes of our common Protestant : in order to an impartial and more full understanding of that great article, by the improvement of that whereto they have attained, or correction of any thing wherein they err, by better judgments : together with animadversions on some late papers between Presbyterian and Independent, in order to reconcile the difference, and fix the Doctrine of Christ's satisfaction.	Humfrey, John, 1621-1719.	1698 (1698)	Wing H3715; ESTC R16520	84,030	95

by_o infusion_n as_o the_o papist_n nor_o by_o non-imputation_n as_o wotton_n but_o by_o imputation_n god_n impute_v our_o faith_n for_o righteousness_n god_n by_o his_o evangelic_n law_n have_v constitute_v faith_n and_o repentance_n to_o be_v a_o righteousness_n to_o serve_v we_o instead_o of_o perfect_a work_n when_o a_o man_n then_o believe_v and_o repent_v he_o be_v thereby_o

by_o this_o he_o be_v still_o unrighteous_a and_o when_o you_o believe_v this_o so_o you_o need_v no_o further_o consideration_n to_o understand_v what_o that_o righteousness_n be_v and_o how_o it_o

to_o myself_o when_o i_o write_v my_o own_o book_n they_o speak_v of_o a_o twofold_a charge_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o the_o gospel_n and_o according_o of_o a_o twofold_a justification_n

when_o they_o have_v make_v and_o hold_v out_o a_o gospel-righteousness_n and_o justification_n according_o must_v have_v a_o legal_a one_o also_o that_o christ_n righteousness_n may_v be_v impute_v
