A79465	Anti-Socinianism, or, A brief explication of some places of holy Scripture, for the confutation of certain gross errours, and Socinian heresies, lately published by William Pynchion, Gent. in a dialogue of his, called, The meritorious price of our redemption, concerning 1. Christ's suffering the wrath of God due to the elect. 2. God's imputation of sin to Christ. 3. The nature of the true mediatorial obedience of Christ. 4. The justification of a sinner. Also a brief description of the lives, and a true relation of the death, of the authors, promoters, propagators, and chief disseminators of this Socinian heresie, how it sprung up, by what means it spread, and when and by whom it was first brought into England, that so we be not deceived by it. / By N. Chewney, M.A. and minister of God's Word.	Chewney, Nicholas, 1609 or 10-1685.	1656 (1656)	Wing C3804; Thomason E888_1; ESTC R207357	149,812	257

this_o be_v a_o mere_a beg_n of_o the_o question_n which_o be_v to_o be_v prove_v and_o we_o deny_v a_o sinner_n therefore_o justify_v till_o it_o shall_v be_v better_o prove_v which_o will_v not_o

abomination_n to_o he_o second_o remission_n of_o sin_n say_v they_o be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o a_o sinner_n justification_n because_o it_o be_v that_o alteration_n and_o change_n which_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o person_n justify_v by_o that_o act_n of_o god_n to_o which_o we_o answer_v 1._o by_o deny_v the_o consequence_n every_o change_n or_o alteration_n in_o the_o person_n cnange_v

ground_v upon_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n whence_o justification_n and_o then_o pardon_v etc._n etc._n 2._o by_o affirm_v that_o justification_n itself_o be_v so_o in_o that_o change_n which_o

justify_v person_n complete_o righteous_a before_o god_n be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n but_o remission_n of_o sin_n make_v a_o justify_v person_n complete_o righteous_a before_o god_n because_o say_v they_o he_o be_v as_o clear_v from_o sin_n and_o the_o guilt_n thereof_o as_o if_o he_o have_v fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o never_o transgress_v any_o part_n or_o

every_o cause_n make_v the_o efficient_a the_o material_a the_o formal_a etc._n etc._n 2._o remission_n of_o sin_n make_v not_o a_o person_n formal_o righteous_a and_o therefore_o we_o deny_v the_o reason_n for_o though_o he_o be_v free_a from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n yea_o so_o righteous_a as_o here_o they_o speak_v of_o yet_o the_o cause_n be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v by_o who_o obedience_n he_o be_v constitute_v just_a again_o they_o argue_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o thus_o that_o righteousness_n which_o need_v not_o fear_v the_o presence_n of_o a_o most_o strict_a judge_n be_v a_o complete_a and_o perfect_a righteousness_n but_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v such_o and_o now_o they_o think_v themselves_o cock_n sure_a for_o this_o say_v they_o will_v hold_v weight_n and_o measure_n but_o let_v they_o take_v our_o answer_n with_o they_o for_o all_o their_o haste_n which_o will_v we_o suppose_v take_v they_o off_o their_o confidence_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o which_o these_o socinian_n be_v to_o prove_v they_o often_o shift_v their_o hand_n of_o and_o will_v have_v we_o take_v for_o grant_v which_o we_o can_v do_v without_o prejudice_n to_o the_o truth_n they_o be_v here_o to_o prove_v that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o complete_a righteousness_n but_o that_o which_o they_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v it_o by_o as_o the_o ingenuous_a reader_n may_v plain_o perceive_v beg_v the_o question_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v righteousness_n for_o every_o thing_n that_o will_v abide_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n be_v not_o by_o and_o by_o righteousness_n much_o less_o complete_a righteousness_n as_o they_o will_v have_v we_o believe_v upon_o their_o bare_a word_n as_o for_o example_n to_o the_o contrary_a in_o love_n there_o be_v no_o fear_n for_o perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n 18._o fear_n 1_o joh._n 4.17_o 18._o yet_o it_o be_v not_o righteousness_n not_o that_o righteousness_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v last_o say_v they_o remission_n of_o sin_n reach_v home_n and_o be_v give_v to_o man_n by_o god_n for_o their_o justification_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o formal_a cause_n thereof_o this_o they_o tell_v we_o be_v evident_a because_o by_o the_o formal_a cause_n they_o mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o passive_a justification_n to_o which_o we_o return_v this_o answer_n 1._o that_o many_o thing_n may_v be_v and_o be_v give_v by_o god_n for_o justification_n in_o some_o way_n or_o other_o which_o be_v not_o the_o formal_a cause_n thereof_o for_o instance_n the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o faith_n be_v give_v by_o god_n for_o justification_n yet_o will_v any_o man_n therefore_o in_o his_o right_a wit_n conclude_v that_o they_o be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o a_o sinner_n justification_n 2._o we_o do_v absolute_o deny_v remission_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v give_v for_o justification_n we_o assert_v the_o contrary_a justification_n give_v for_o pardon_n and_o remission_n as_o be_v the_o effect_n and_o consequent_a thereof_o so_o the_o apostle_n 5.16_o apostle_n rom._n 5.16_o where_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o remission_n a_o gift_n as_o also_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n whence_o we_o see_v ordine_fw-la quidque_fw-la svo_fw-la first_o justification_n and_o then_o remission_n make_v good_a in_o the_o 18._o and_o 19_o vers_fw-la of_o the_o same_o chapter_n moreover_o to_o put_v all_o out_o of_o doubt_n if_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v justification_n passive_a as_o they_o say_v but_o now_o that_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o god_n justify_v it_o can_v possible_o be_v the_o formal_a cause_n thereof_o also_o for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o can_v be_v both_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o effect_n before_o and_o after_o itself_o the_o whole_a and_o yet_o but_o a_o part_n

that_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o maintain_v that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o a_o sinner_n justification_n before_o god_n that_o see_v how_o poor_o it_o be_v defend_v by_o
