upon_o what_o object_n this_o act_n be_v to_o be_v terminate_v 1._o for_o the_o first_o what_o act_n that_o be_v you_o must_v know_v that_o faith_n in_o the_o general_a consideration_n have_v divers_a act_n and_o object_n and_o that_o the_o act_n be_v diversify_v according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o the_o object_n so_o many_o particular_n as_o be_v record_v in_o scripture_n so_o many_o particular_a object_n and_o according_o so_o many_o particular_a act_n there_o be_v of_o faith_n in_o general_n but_o our_o enquiry_n be_v what_o be_v the_o formal_a act_n and_o object_n of_o justify_v faith_n now_o for_o the_o first_o viz._n what_o be_v the_o formal_a act_n of_o faith_n you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v much_o difference_n among_o divine_n about_o it_o 1._o some_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v a_o bare_a and_o naked_a assent_n to_o every_o truth_n reveal_v by_o god_n thus_o the_o papist_n 2._o some_o say_v it_o be_v a_o firm_a and_o radical_a assent_n to_o this_o great_a proposition_n that_o christ_n be_v messiah_n and_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n 3._o other_o place_v it_o in_o a_o receive_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o his_o office_n as_o a_o king_n priest_n and_o prophet_n 4._o some_o in_o assurance_n and_o particular_a knowledge_n or_o persuasion_n that_o we_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o christ_n etc._n etc._n 5._o other_o do_v place_n it_o in_o roll_a ourselves_o upon_o christ_n and_o rest_v in_o he_o when_o the_o soul_n assent_v to_o that_o great_a proposition_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n the_o mediator_n do_v roll_v and_o rest_v itself_o upon_o he_o and_o trust_v in_o he_o in_o most_o of_o which_o different_a opinion_n we_o find_v this_o agreement_n 1_o that_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o faith_n whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v not_o faith_n as_o a_o habit_n of_o grace_n inherent_a in_o we_o but_o faith_n as_o a_o act_n not_o faith_n in_o actu_fw-la primo_fw-la as_o a_o habit_n infuse_v but_o in_o actu_fw-la secundo_fw-la 2_o that_o it_o be_v such_o a_o act_n as_o be_v not_o wrought_v out_o of_o ourselves_o or_o our_o own_o principle_n but_o such_o as_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n 3_o that_o it_o be_v such_o a_o act_n as_o bring_v over_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o true_a object_n to_o christ_n by_o who_o we_o be_v justify_v 4_o such_o a_o one_o as_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n do_v belong_v unto_o accompany_v christ_n in_o blood_n christ_n in_o water_n christ_n for_o justification_n christ_n for_o sanctification_n christ_n for_o salvation_n in_o all_o these_o there_o be_v a_o exact_a agreement_n among_o they_o and_o therefore_o although_o there_o be_v some_o difference_n in_o respect_n of_o that_o formal_a act_n which_o justifi_v yet_o see_v they_o preach_v and_o cry_v down_o themselves_o and_o advance_v and_o set_v up_o free_a grace_n and_o mercy_n both_o in_o the_o work_n and_o fruit_n of_o it_o the_o papist_n have_v no_o cause_n to_o cry_v we_o down_o for_o disagreement_n which_o for_o their_o part_n they_o be_v like_o the_o four_o wind_n blow_v in_o the_o face_n of_o one_o another_o in_o many_o point_n as_o may_v easy_o be_v show_v if_o here_o it_o be_v pertinent_a we_o know_v that_o while_o we_o be_v here_o difference_n there_o will_v be_v for_o we_o know_v in_o part_n and_o prophesy_v but_o in_o part_n it_o be_v a_o happy_a â—hing_n if_o we_o can_v be_v all_o of_o one_o heart_n and_o all_o of_o one_o mind_n but_o see_v it_o will_v not_o be_v i_o can_v wish_v that_o although_o we_o be_v not_o all_o of_o one_o mind_n yet_o we_o may_v be_v all_o of_o one_o heart_n and_o that_o difference_n in_o judgement_n may_v not_o breed_v alienation_n in_o affection_n especial_o see_v we_o all_o aim_n at_o one_o thing_n one_o mark_n one_o end_n all_o agree_v in_o hoc_fw-la uno_fw-la in_o this_o one_o to_o set_v up_o christ_n the_o mercy_n of_o god_n free_a grace_n and_o by_o cry_v down_o ourselves_o and_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o agree_v among_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o in_o all_o these_o diversity_n of_o judgement_n concern_v the_o formal_a act_n of_o faith_n whereby_o we_o stand_v justify_v before_o god_n i_o shall_v not_o deal_v so_o much_o in_o the_o throw_n down_o of_o other_o man_n opinion_n as_o in_o the_o establish_n of_o my_o own_o 1_o because_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v little_a wisdom_n in_o it_o to_o uncover_v the_o nakedness_n of_o our_o brethren_n by_o bring_v they_o in_o contend_v with_o one_o another_o 2_o because_o i_o think_v there_o be_v little_a profit_n in_o it_o especial_o in_o promiscuous_a congregation_n such_o debate_n be_v fit_a for_o the_o school_n than_o for_o the_o pulpit_n polemical_a and_o controversal_a point_n may_v beget_v notion_n little_a motion_n fill_v our_o head_n with_o notion_n but_o not_o our_o heart_n with_o sanctify_v affection_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v break_v myself_o in_o as_o plain_a and_o modest_a a_o manner_n as_o i_o can_v among_o all_o these_o difference_n to_o declare_v what_o i_o adhear_v to_o and_o to_o establish_v it_o by_o some_o scripture_n and_o so_o pass_v it_o now_o than_o i_o conceive_v that_o that_o formal_a act_n of_o faith_n whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o instate_v into_o christ_n be_v a_o act_n of_o affiance_n and_o

therefore_o join_v these_o two_o both_o together_o as_o essential_o pre-requisite_a whereby_o we_o know_v and_o assent_v to_o our_o own_o miserable_a estate_n the_o freeness_n of_o god_n promise_n
