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.

although_o repentance_n go_v before_o that_o act_n of_o faith_n whereby_o a_o man_n believe_v that_o his_o sin_n be_v pardon_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v hereupon_o that_o it_o go_v before_o all_o faith_n in_o general_n no_o nor_o yet_o before_o justify_v and_o save_v faith_n for_o if_o i_o shall_v speak_v logical_o and_o proper_o there_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v no_o less_o than_o four_o several_a act_n of_o faith_n but_o i_o do_v make_v choice_n rather_o to_o speak_v popular_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v contract_v two_o of_o they_o into_o one_o the_o first_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n be_v true_a or_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v more_o particular_o to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n it_o be_v for_o he_o to_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v send_v of_o his_o father_n have_v perfect_o wrought_v and_o accomplish_v our_o salvation_n and_o that_o he_o do_v offer_v this_o salvation_n unto_o all_o those_o who_o do_v repent_v and_o believe_v in_o he_o this_o act_n of_o faith_n do_v not_o only_o go_v before_o repentance_n but_o before_o all_o other_o act_n of_o faith_n also_o for_o if_o a_o man_n do_v not_o believe_v both_o that_o christ_n have_v absolute_o and_o perfect_o accomplish_v our_o redemption_n and_o salvation_n and_o that_o he_o do_v also_o offer_v the_o salvation_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v unto_o all_o that_o do_v repent_v and_o believe_v in_o he_o he_o will_v have_v no_o encouragement_n neither_o will_v it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o either_o to_o repent_v or_o believe_v &_o to_o rest_n and_o rely_v on_o christ_n for_o salvation_n this_o be_v that_o faith_n which_o be_v common_o call_v fides_fw-la dogmatica_fw-la vel_fw-la historica_fw-la doctrinal_a or_o historical_a faith_n because_o it_o go_v not_o beyond_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o doctrine_n or_o of_o the_o history_n of_o the_o bible_n now_o this_o though_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a unto_o salvation_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o save_v faith_n because_o it_o justifi_v no_o man_n nor_o give_v to_o any_o man_n any_o interest_n or_o right_a unto_o salvation_n 2._o the_o second_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v that_o a_o man_n do_v not_o despair_v though_o his_o sin_n be_v never_o so_o many_o or_o never_o so_o great_a but_o believe_v or_o persuade_v himself_o that_o god_n of_o his_o mercy_n through_o christ_n will_v pardon_v they_o and_o so_o cast_v himself_o upon_o christ_n or_o that_o he_o do_v trust_v upon_o christ_n for_o salvation_n according_a to_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o be_v save_v faith_n or_o it_o be_v that_o act_n of_o faith_n whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v as_o st._n paul_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v in_o those_o word_n of_o he_o which_o i_o have_v already_o allege_v rom._n 3.23_o 24_o 25._o all_o have_v sin_v and_o come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n through_o the_o redemption_n that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n behold_v it_o be_v faith_n in_o christ_n blood_n that_o be_v in_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n whereby_o god_n become_v propitious_a that_o be_v gracious_a and_o merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o consequent_o whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v now_o this_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v in_o nature_n before_o repentance_n though_o in_o time_n it_o go_v with_o it_o i_o will_v make_v this_o plain_a by_o a_o familiar_a comparison_n sol_fw-la est_fw-la natura_fw-la prio_fw-la

that_o true_a justify_v faith_n can_v be_v separate_v from_o repentance_n no_o more_o than_o save_v repentance_n can_v be_v without_o such_o a_o true_a faith_n and_o this_o as_o i_o take_v it_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o salvation_n be_v in_o some_o place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n attribute_v to_o repentance_n and_o in_o some_o other_o to_o say_v to_o wit_n because_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v as_o it_o be_v twist_v and_o enfold_v the_o one_o in_o the_o other_o for_o neither_o can_v a_o man_n repent_v without_o faith_n nor_o can_v he_o believe_v in_o christ_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n unless_o his_o faith_n do_v stir_v up_o repentance_n in_o he_o and_o a_o settle_a purpose_n to_o forsake_v all_o sin_n for_o as_o long_o as_o a_o man_n live_v in_o sin_n he_o have_v no_o promise_n from_o god_n to_o ground_v his_o faith_n upon_o the_o true_a christian_a therefore_o in_o believe_v repent_v and_o in_o repent_v believe_v these_o be_v two_o

that_o his_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o salvation_n but_o i_o answer_v answ_n that_o they_o do_v deceive_v both_o themselves_o and_o other_o fallacia_fw-la
