which_o the_o apostle_n preach_v you_o must_v come_v to_o christ_n believe_v on_o christ_n as_o sinner_n as_o ungodly_a one_o and_o not_o as_o righteous_a not_o as_o saint_n and_o holy_a person_n the_o whole_a need_v not_o a_o physician_n but_o they_o that_o be_v sick_a the_o thief_n on_o the_o cross_n as_o a_o sinner_n cry_v out_o lord_n remember_v i_o etc._n etc._n and_o the_o jailor_n as_o a_o sinner_n cry_v out_o sir_n what_o must_v i_o do_v to_o be_v save_v so_o much_o as_o to_o the_o explanation_n of_o the_o term_n of_o the_o text_n in_o which_o you_o have_v three_o part_n 1._o a_o negative_a proposition_n but_o to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o 2._o a_o affirmative_a proposition_n but_o believe_v on_o he_o that_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a 3._o the_o conclusion_n from_o hence_o his_o faith_n be_v count_v or_o impute_v for_o righteousness_n the_o observation_n i_o shall_v take_v notice_n of_o from_o the_o word_n shall_v be_v but_o two_o 1_o doct._n that_o all_o work_v do_v by_o the_o creature_n be_v quite_o exclude_v in_o point_n of_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n 2._o doct._n that_o justification_n be_v whole_o of_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n through_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n i_o purpose_v to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o point_n of_o doctrine_n and_o then_o come_v to_o speak_v to_o the_o second_o 1._o but_o before_o i_o proceed_v i_o shall_v show_v you_o divers_a false_a and_o erroneous_a principle_n which_o man_n have_v suck_v in_o in_o and_o about_o the_o great_a doctrine_n of_o justification_n 2._o i_o shall_v then_o prove_v the_o point_n viz._n that_o all_o work_v do_v by_o the_o creature_n be_v quite_o exclude_v in_o point_n of_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n in_o god_n sight_n 1._o i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o papist_n who_o hold_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o inherent_a righteousness_n by_o good_a work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o affirm_v good_a work_n to_o be_v meritorious_a or_o that_o man_n thereby_o deserve_v eternal_a life_n nay_o ●hat_n a_o man_n may_v perfect_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n though_o he_o can_v live_v without_o sin_n but_o to_o mend_v the_o matter_n bellarmine_n argument_n be_v that_o venial_a sin_n of_o which_o he_o deny_v not_o that_o all_o be_v guilty_a yet_o they_o do_v not_o hinder_v a_o man_n from_o ●eeping_v the_o law_n perfect_o the_o foolishness_n of_o which_o distinction_n be_v easy_o discern_v for_o if_o they_o be_v sin_n which_o he_o call_v venial_a than_o they_o be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n and_o he_o that_o transgress_v the_o law_n do_v not_o keep_v it_o perfect_o but_o contrariwise_o break_v it_o and_o so_o be_v accurse_v cast_v and_o condemn_v by_o 〈◊〉_d but_o they_o affirm_v that_o a_o man_n may_v not_o only_o by_o his_o good_a work_n merit_n for_o himself_o but_o also_o may_v do_v more_o than_o be_v command_v or_o may_v do_v work_n of_o supererogation_n or_o do_v more_o than_o his_o duty_n 2._o the_o second_o sort_n i_o shall_v mention_v be_v the_o socinian_o who_o deny_v the_o deity_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o from_o hence_o deny_v also_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n because_o the_o latter_a depend_v upon_o the_o former_a it_o be_v from_o the_o dignity_n and_o excellency_n of_o christ_n person_n he_o be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n that_o his_o sacrifice_n ●ad_v such_o infinite_a value_n and_o worth_n in_o it_o that_o by_o one_o single_a payment_n as_o i_o may_v 〈◊〉_d say_v he_o make_v such_o a_o full_a compensation_n to_o the_o law_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n but_o ●●ey_n err_v in_o those_o two_o grand_a point_n of_o christian_a religion_n run_v into_o the_o ●hird_n and_o deny_v the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n personal_a righteousness_n to_o we_o in_o ●ustification_n and_o indeed_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o this_o sort_n of_o man_n assert_v that_o justification_n of_o the_o sinner_n be_v nothing_o more_o than_o god_n pardon_v he_o free_o by_o ●is_n mercy_n and_o that_o only_o as_o a_o simple_a act_n of_o his_o own_o mercy_n and_o grace_n without_o ●espect_n have_v to_o the_o satisfaction_n make_v for_o our_o sin_n by_o jesus_n christ_n by_o which_o act_n of_o god_n pardon_v grace_n they_o affirm_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n that_o bind_v the_o sinner_n ●ver_o to_o punishment_n be_v take_v off_o and_o so_o he_o be_v acquit_v and_o deliver_v from_o eternal_a wrath_n but_o can_v this_o be_v admit_v which_o they_o affirm_v why_o shall_v god_n ●end_n his_o belove_a son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n for_o can_v not_o god_n without_o that_o glorious_a fruit_n of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n have_v pardon_v and_o acquit_v we_o and_o never_o have_v suffer_v his_o son_n to_o have_v undergo_v such_o pain_n and_o ●orrow_n for_o we_o which_o indeed_o he_o do_v 3._o another_o sort_n there_o be_v which_o be_v those_o call_v arminian_n of_o which_o ●here_o be_v many_o of_o late_a time_n i_o find_v one_o of_o they_o do_v affirm_v that_o though_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v exclude_v from_o justify_v the_o sinner_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n yet_o gospel_n work_n be_v not_o so_o that_o they_o ●nclude_v love_n to_o god_n act_n of_o mercy_n and_o other_o gospel_n duty_n and_o obedience_n in_o ●oint_n of_o justification_n as_o well_o as_o faith_n or_o join_v good_a work_n do_v under_o the_o gospel_n and_o faith_n together_o and_o this_o plain_o appear_v by_o what_o mr._n william_n allen_n have_v write_v in_o his_o book_n call_v a_o glass_n of_o justification_n see_v p._n 18._o these_o be_v his_o word_n viz._n it_o be_v no_o where_o neither_o in_o word_n nor_o sense_n say_v but_o he_o that_o ●oveth_v not_o but_o believe_v on_o he_o that_o justify_v 〈◊〉_d ungodly_a his_o faith_n be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n sure_o this_o man_n forget_v that_o love_n to_o god_n be_v one_o great_a thing_n the_o law_n command_v be_v not_o the_o israelite_n or_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n under_o the_o law_n to_o do_v all_o they_o do_v in_o love_n to_o god_n thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o strength_n etc._n etc._n he_o proceed_v to_o blame_v our_o protestant_a writer_n in_o assert_v justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o without_o work_n brethren_n although_o we_o do_v not_o oppose_v faith_n to_o love_n as_o if_o faith_n that_o be_v of_o the_o right_n kind_a can_v be_v without_o love_n to_o god_n yet_o we_o say_v it_o be_v faith_n and_o not_o work_n not_o love_n nor_o deed_n of_o mercy_n nor_o any_o other_o gospel_n duty_n or_o obedience_n that_o be_v count_v to_o we_o for_o righteousness_n and_o why_o to_o faith_n only_o because_o that_o grace_n only_o carry_v we_o out_o of_o ourselves_o to_o another_o for_o righteousness_n i._n e._n to_o jesus_n christ_n 4._o the_o same_o sort_n affirm_v faith_n do_v justify_v the_o sinner_n as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v gather_v as_o it_o be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o creature_n god_n accept_v of_o that_o internal_a act_n of_o the_o soul_n according_a to_o his_o good_a pleasure_n to_o justification_n not_o have_v respect_n so_o to_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n as_o that_o the_o matter_n thereof_o be_v christ_n perfect_a righteousness_n and_o the_o form_n or_o formal_a cause_n of_o it_o the_o imputation_n thereof_o to_o such_o who_o believe_v in_o jesus_n but_o that_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o appoint_v or_o ordain_v faith_n in_o respect_n of_o itself_o to_o that_o end_n and_o purpose_n namely_o to_o justify_v the_o sinner_n of_o this_o sort_n be_v the_o dutch_a arminian_n in_o pursuance_n of_o their_o main_a doctrine_n of_o free_a will_n they_o exalt_v man_n work_n and_o therefore_o affirm_v that_o he_o be_v justify_v not_o by_o christ_n righteousness_n but_o by_o his_o own_o faith_n god_n have_v require_v of_o he_o instead_o of_o full_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o work_n that_o now_o he_o shall_v believe_v on_o his_o son_n and_o that_o for_o so_o do_v he_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o save_v as_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v before_o for_o perfect_a obedience_n so_o that_o with_o this_o sort_n as_o one_o observe_v faith_n be_v that_o righteousness_n for_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n moreover_n they_o tell_v we_o that_o faith_n be_v a_o belief_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o as_o to_o live_v according_a to_o it_o thus_o it_o include_v and_o not_o exclude_v work_n and_o that_o faith_n and_o work_n or_o obedience_n to_o the_o gospel_n be_v our_o righteousness_n for_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o
