in_o this_o matter_n there_o be_v but_o a_o notional_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o it_o have_v be_v show_v that_o christ_n as_o a_o saviour_n design_n our_o holiness_n his_o salvation_n be_v chief_o that_o from_o the_o worst_a of_o evil_n sin_n can_v thou_o think_v reader_n that_o mr._n f._n deserve_v to_o be_v accuse_v as_o popish_o affect_v in_o this_o point_n be_v all_o those_o papist_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n that_o deny_v a_o dead_a faith_n to_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o it_o and_o do_v not_o s._n james_n say_v that_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a and_o if_o a_o live_a faith_n justify_v be_v it_o popery_n to_o say_v that_o it_o justify_v as_o it_o be_v a_o live_a faith_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v nonsense_n to_o say_v otherwise_o do_v mr._n f._n any_o where_o contrary_a to_o the_o apostle_n paul_n assert_v the_o merit_n of_o work_n no_o he_o make_v work_n or_o a_o work_a faith_n only_o a_o necessary_a condition_n of_o justification_n as_o s._n james_n do_v and_o all_o the_o apostle_n and_o christ_n alone_o to_o be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o it_o and_o he_o must_v needs_o attribute_v our_o justification_n to_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n when_o he_o make_v also_o the_o condition_n of_o it_o faith_n a_o free_a gift_n a_o grace_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n in_o short_a let_v the_o reader_n consult_v mr._n f_n free_a discourse_n between_o two_o intimate_a friend_n p._n 149._o to_o p._n 190._o and_o there_o he_o shall_v see_v his_o full_a sense_n of_o justify_v faith_n and_o the_o notion_n give_v there_o of_o it_o sufficient_o defend_v 2._o the_o other_o notion_n mr._n f._n in_o this_o inference_n say_v the_o design_n of_o christianity_n will_v give_v satisfaction_n concern_v be_v that_o of_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n viz._n that_o it_o consist_v in_o deal_v with_o sincere_o righteous_a person_n as_o if_o they_o be_v perfect_o so_o for_o the_o sake_n and_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n and_o he_o show_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o design_n of_o christianity_n make_v it_o impossible_a that_o any_o other_o

such_o extant_a nay_o though_o mr._n f._n do_v several_a time_n in_o the_o design_n of_o christianity_n refer_v to_o it_o this_o be_v the_o blade_n that_o love_v to_o tell_v the_o world_n he_o be_v a_o lover_n of_o truth_n but_o if_o she_o have_v no_o sincerer_n friend_n than_o he_o make_v it_o apparent_a by_o this_o and_o all_o his_o other_o practice_n he_o be_v her_o case_n will_v be_v most_o

that_o be_v most_o available_a to_o the_o beget_n and_o increase_n of_o true_a holiness_n it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o be_v most_o concern_v for_o and_o those_o that_o have_v the_o great_a tendency_n towards_o the_o endanger_n of_o it_o to_o set_v ourselves_o with_o the_o great_a industry_n against_o the_o seven_o inference_n chap._n 23._o that_o the_o design_n of_o christianity_n well_o
